Audi R8 Gets First Full-LED Hedlamp Option
The range of equipment available for Audi’s R8 sports car has been enhanced with the addition of the first full-LED headlamps. Besides the daytime running lights that now feature 24 LEDs per headlamp, the new unit utilizes light-emitting diodes for the turn signals, the low-beam and the high-beam headlights. Apart from looking really cool, advantages in the use of LEDs are lower energy consumption and a color that more closely resembles daylight, provides greater contrast and is easier on the human eye. -Continued Moreover, LEDs are also non-wearing, require a lower voltage, are compact and offer greater design freedom. However, the bad thing is that LEDs cost, and they cost a lot as if you decide to tick the LED option in the R8’s list of equipment, it will set you back €3,590 which translates to a whopping $5,570.
