The limited edition automobile is the first production-car on earth to come outfitted with laser large beams.

Audi is the best choice in creating automotive lights technology. Now the brandname with the four bands is igniting another phase in the R8 LMX: the laser place for the large beams. It raises the range well, which will be perfect for a super car like the R8 LMX.

The Audi engineers perform really closely with their racing fellow workers on the improvement of lights technologies. The superior brand is therefore continuing its custom of utilizing racing to examine new systems destined for generation.

"Audi has long ruled the most significant 24-hour race. As well as the superb TDI push technology, an optimum light output gives our aviators an important edge, and with nighttime racing particularly is an integral variable to our achievement," states Prof. Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg. The security gain this supplies to the client really represents Vorsprung durch Technik," states AUDI AG's Board Member for Development.

One laser module per headlamp creates a cone of sunshine with twice the variety of the all-LED head light, with the new laser large beams. Each module includes four highpower laser diodes. With a diameter of only 300 micrometers, a blue laser-beam is generated by these with a wavelength of 450 nanometers. A phosphor converter transforms this in to roadworthy white mild with a color-temperature of 5,500 Kelvin - perfect states for the eye that empower the motorist readily to be recognized by to understand and help prevent weariness. The laser place, which will be effective at rates of 60 km/h (37.3 miles per hour) and preceding, supplements the LED high-beam in the R8 LMX and substantially improves visibility and security. A smart camera-established detector system earnestly fixes the mild pattern to exclude them and finds other road-users.

Top velocity is 320 km/h (198.8 miles per hour), and typical consumption is 12.9 liters of gas per 100 kilometres (299 gs CO2 per kilometre) [18.2 US mpg/481.2 g/mi le]. A tight, seven-rate S tronic transfers the electricity to the quattro permanent all-wheel push system. 19-inch wheels are united with carbon fiber ceramic brake disks, which in advance measure 380 millimeters (15.0 in) in diameter. Reddish anodized brake drums glow behind the unique designer wheels. The R8 LMX is R19 tires 305/30 shod with 235/35 R-19 tires at the start and at the back.

An obvious visual sign is additionally sent out by the new-top version with its Audi unique customized paint complete in Ara Blue, crystal-effect. A substantial, set back spoiler raises the down force on the back axle. Like the front spoiler brim, the flics on the sides, the motor compartment protect, the outdoor mirror casings, the sideblades, the back wing and the diffuser, it's manufactured from carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) with a matte coating. The Single-Frame grille, the atmosphere inlet grilles in advance and the way out grille at the backside are completed in titanium grey. The game exhaust method has large-shine black tailpipes.

The dynamic lines carry-over into the black inside, which likewise features blue emphases. The backrest handles are ended in Ara Blue. Sepang Blue stitching supplies subtle comparisons, including on the device cowl, the middle tunnel cabinet, the controls and the parking brake lever. Black Great Nappa leather door and the black Alcantara headlining trimming panels simply take up the Sepang Blue diamond design of the bucket seats.

The inside is rounded out by subtle particulars. Matte carbon is employed on the handles of the parking brake lever and the facility tunnel cabinet, on the arc around the cockpit and the inlays in the doorways. Illuminated aluminum inlays bearing the limited edition number are incorporated into the CFRP door-sill trimmings. Fine Nappa leather adorns the selector lever for the knee-pads and the s-tronic; the ground mats have Sepang Blue stitching and black piping.

The Audi R8 LMX will simply take to the roads in the summertime of 2014. The foundation cost in Germany is EUR210,000.
