It may look like just another Audi R8, but this one is really different. No seriously…we mean it! It’s the Audi R8 LMX with laser-enhanced LED high-beam headlamps.
Audi launched the laserlight technology on its R18 E-tron Quattro LMP1 race car and then promised a production version of it at Consumer Electronics Show this year.
The eyes on R8 LMX employ the same method when traveling above 37.3 miles per hour, using a tiny laser module in each headlamp that, after conversion to white light, can throw a beam about 1640 feet down the road. Impressive, isn’t it?
To impress with exclusivity, the all-new LMX can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/hr in 3.4 seconds with the top speed of 320 km/hr. Stay tuned for more stories like this and don’t forget to subscribe to IndianDrives!
