Audi R8 Goes All LED All The Time

German auto-maker Audi has set a new standard in 2009: the 2009 Audi R8 boasts a first for the auto world. All LED lighting.

It’s not just the LED headlamps or the daytime running lamps, but it’s all of the interior and exterior lighting of the car using LEDs, according to DailyTech. The Audio R8 has an engine that the company says can take the car up to 200 mph. But it’s the LED lights that are amongst the most unique features of this car. Writers are calling the car greener, but not in the traditional way of fuel economy. The green moniker comes from the all-LED lighting despite the fact that fuel economy probably is only slightly effected by the lower power consuming LEDs.

Very cool.
