New Audi R8 Teased With Laser And LED Headlight Tech

Audi has handed down its first teaser image for the coming new R8 supercar, promoting the coupe’s LED and laser headlight system.

The new system builds on the technology introduced with the current R8 LMX flagship, utilising full-LED headlights and new laser high-beam technology.

“The special appeal of laser lighting is that it uses high”‘intensity laser diodes, which generate a lot of light energy from a very small component,” Audi says of the new system.

“Compared to LED high”‘beam headlights, laser high”‘beams attain nearly twice the lighting range.”
