Audi has recently announced its plans to introduce the Sport quattro laserlight concept at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
The car is an updated version of the Sport quattro concept that debuted at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. As the name implies, the car comes with matrix LED headlights with laser light technology. According to Audi, two low-profile trapezoidal elements are visible within the headlights the outer one generates the low beam light using matrix LEDs and an aperture mask, while the inner element produces laser light for high-beam functionality. The company claims that the laser high-beam lights have three times the luminosity of LED high-beam lights and will illuminate the road for approximately 500 meters (1,640 ft).
Like the original concept, the Sport quattro laserlight concept has a plug-in hybrid powertrain that consists of a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine and a disc-shaped electric motor. This setup enables the car to generate a combined maximum output of 700 HP (515 kW) and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft) of torque. The car will be able to accelerate from 0-100 kmph (0-62 mph) in 3.7 seconds and will also be able to touch a top speed of 305 kmph (189 mph).
