LED R8

Y’all know what we think of the R8 around here. And if you don’t — read here. Aside from being “the peoples’ supercar” as boss man Levy has termed it, you can now order your R8 filament free. That’s right, Audi is giving owners the option of 54-LED headlamps to go along with the brand’s signature 24-LED “angel eyes” running lights. Why? Well for one thing, they look boffo. For another, they last the life of the car. And finally — says Audi — the light emitted from the LEDs mimics daylight and is easier on drivers’ eyes. We’ll have to see (wink, wink) about that. The price? Less than three Tata Nanos. Which is a nice way of saying $7,100. [autoblog]
