Automotive Lighting brightens the road for Audi R8Audi plans to offer its R8 supercar with op-tional light-emitting diode (LED) low- andhigh-beam lights, daytime running lightsand turn signals. The car, which will cost
€104,400 in Germany with tax, debuts inEurope in mid-2007. Automotive Lightingsupplies the LEDs, which emit light close tonatural daylight. Compared with conven-
tional lights, LEDs use less space, react fasterand are more durable. The €100,000 R8 hasa 420hp V-8 gasoline direct-injection engine, permanent quattro four-wheel
drive and an Audi spaceframe aluminumbody. Another one of the R8’s notable fea-tures is Delphi’s MagneRide suspension,which uses magneto-rheological fluid-filled
dampers to provide continuously variablereal-time suspension-damping control.
