Audi A2: Lighting Innovation, Attractive Power
With the A2 concept car headlights, Audi are presenting the next phase in LED technology, known as “Matrix beam”. A package of LEDs and micro reflectors generate a high-resolution and non-glaring high-beam light

Also, a new design feature is the ‘Dynamic Side Light’ that runs below the edge of the window from the front to the rear of the A2 concept. It is a band of light that contains a multitude of innovative, dynamic light functions. While driving, the dynamic light functions as a continuous side marker light. If the car’s indicator is activated, light impulses run along the entire band of light. In addition, a red bar of light flows forward from the tail lights when braking and demonstrates the strength of the brake application intuitively for other road users.
