Automakers will be showing off their slick technology at the Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show, and Audi is going to bring lasers. You read that right!

This car is the Audi Sport Quattro Laserlight Concept. It debuted last year at the Frankfurt show, and it had a 700hp hybrid engine and a body that recalls the legend of Sport Quattro of the 1980s.

Audi says that the Sport Quattro will have dual headlamps that combine matrix LED and laser light technologies. The laser diodes will be able to illuminate the road for a distance of nearly 1,640 feet which is twice the lighting range and three times the luminosity of LED high beam lights.
