The lights on an Audi have long provided more than just safety. They represent the interface between design and technology and they have an authoritative impact on every Audi model's visual appearance. That is particularly distinct in the exterior design of the e-tron GT quattro and RS e-tron GT
– headlights and taillights are defining elements of these models.
The headlights of the e-tron GT quattro
and the RS e-tron GT are three-dimensional sculptures with dynamic character and a modern aesthetic. The V-shaped headlights of the e-tron GT quattro come in three versions: LED, Matrix LED, and laser light as an additional high beam. An expressively designed X-shaped bezel secures the Audi laser light – the additional high beam is available as an option in the e-tron GT quattro and the RS e-tron GT series. The lower area of the headlight consists of detached elements with edges illuminated in blue. The central wings of the daytime running light signature form the upper part of the X. The daytime running light signature also functions as a turn signal and consists of a series of sharply drawn angles that create a sporty look. In the rear, a sculpted light strip spans the entire width of the e-tron GT
. It dissipates outwardly in larger and larger arrow segments, thereby drawing an unmistakable taillight signature. The taillights are completely fitted with LEDs and equipped with a dynamic turn signal that runs flat under the taillight signature. The brake light is positioned under that in a low area.
Laser as additional high beam
Audi provides the e-tron GT quattro
headlights' LED technology with dynamic turn signals as standard equipment. Matrix LED headlights are available as an option for the electric Gran Turismo; they are standard equipment in the top model, the RS e-tron GT. Their continuous high beams shine with maximum brightness without blinding other drivers by dimming individual segments. Topping the range of the light offering for the e-tron GT quattro and the RS e-tron GT
are the matrix LED headlights with laser light as an additional high beam. Starting at 70 km/h (43.5 mph), a laser spot is activated in the center of the headlight, between the low beam and high beam modules, doubling the range of the high beams. Additionally, an ultra-compact laser module in each headlight generates a light beam that illuminates several hundred meters as a spotlight.
The Gran Turismo's top headlights offer an additional characteristic feature: the dynamic lighting effects of the leaving home and coming home function in the front and rear. The former starts upon unlocking the car and was inspired by the power of a sound wave: the lighting of the individual elements builds up quickly and powerfully before briefly pulling back and then going all in the second time.
