Forget high beams -- lasers are coming

Audi has kicked off 2014 with the unveiling of an updated version of its Sport quattro concept car -- as first revealed at last year's Frankfurt motor show. Set to underpin the German carmaker's stand at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the latest incarnation of the bullish-looking two-door coupe showcases distinctively styled matrix LED headlamps with new laser light technology that, Audi officials suggest, will soon begin appearing on regular production models as a high-cost option.

Yes, we know Ferrari have been running LaFerrari round their own track, but McLaren and Porsche have been taking on the Nurburgring for some time with their hyper supercar offerings, but now it seems Ferrari are playing catch-up. What is a bit ofdd is that despite LaFerrari being presented to the public in production guise at Geneva, Ferrari feel the need to cover LaFerrari ion swirly black and white camouflage.
