German automobile manufacturer, Audi will launch the new R8 supercar at the upcoming 2015 Geneva Motor Show this March, featuring the laser headlights of the new car.
Hidden beneath a sheet, the new R8 looks clearly related to the original, with what appears to be a similar flow to the rear and crisp, sharp front lights.
Fuller wheelarches can be seen beneath the sheet disguise, and cooling ducts at the front appear to be more aggressive.
The laser lights have already been race-proven: they were fitted to the Audi R18 e-tron quattro that won the 2014 24 Hours of Le Mans; they also made their road debut on the R8 LMX special edition.
Audi is expected to reveal more about the new R8, closely related to the Lamborghini Huracan, in the build-up to the big Geneva show.
Also featured is a gaping air intake, with interesting vertical strakes to keep the airflow smooth, next to what looks like a deeper version of the classic Audi single-frame grille with the number-plate mounting across its midline.
Also visible is part of a huge rim – possibly 21 or 22-inch – shod with very low-profile rubber, set in a very GT3-looking wheel-arch.
