Full LED headlamps are now available as an option for the Audi R8, this new option joins other very well-known high-tech components such as the aluminum Audi Space Frame, ceramic brakes and the mid-mounted V8 engine with FSI technology.

In addition to the standard Audi-signature 24-LED running lamps, LED high and low beam headlamps, LED turn signals are to the front fascia of the Audi R8.

Audi R8’s full LED headlamps are equipped with 54 high-performance LED’s to provide all lighting functions. With a lower energy consumption requiring a lower voltage and a colour similar to daylight offer advantages at night and a greater contrast to be easier on the human eye.

The €3,590 option rounds off the list of equipment available for the high-tech, mid-engine sports car.

Presumably, over time, this innovation will move down the range to other Audi’s in the same way the ABS breaking was initially an option on more expensive cars before becoming available across the full range.
