Auto lovers got a sneak peek at the high-tech 2011 Audi A8 at Miami design week, and now the release of the sedan seems to be more anticipated than ever. The car, fully loaded with LED lights, was unveiled to an awed crowd, with one fan commenting at the Daily Tech, "I guess Bond would be proud."

The Audi A8's innovative technology is supposed to make driving easier and greener. Features include a new V8 engine that boasts fuel efficiency 15 percent higher than the previous V8 engines and CO2 emission rates lower than any previously attained by a luxury car.

Additionally, the A8 uses LED lights for all light functions. The Daily Tech reports that car's LED lights consume only 40 watts each when in use. In addition to making the car more energy-efficient, the LED lights also add to the A8's unique aesthetic. Fans believe the bright bulbs lend the car a high-end look. One Audi enthusiast says the LED lights put this car on his "list of luxury do-wants."

Audi executives agree that the high-tech look of the car is part of its appeal. Rupert Stadler, chairman of the board of management of Audi AG, says, "[The A8] is unmatched in the stylistic elements and impression of the interior."

Audi is not the only auto brand to capitalize on consumers' fascination with energy-saving light bulbs. According to JustAuto.com, headlamp markets are steadily growing as consumers are paying more attention to the types of bulbs front-light suppliers offer.
