German automotive supplier Hella has developed yet another type of headlight. Beyond halogen, xenon and others, Hella has produced a headlamp that works completely off of LEDs, or light-emitting diodes (LEDs are what make the little lights on the front of your computer glow).
Debuting on the 2008 Cadillac Escalade Platinum, Hella's LED headlights offer customers several key benefits over traditional headlamps. To help explain a little about this new lighting system is Hella's North American president, Dr. Martin Fischer. Also, David Schiavone, Product Manager for the Cadillac Escalade gives us an in-depth walk around the new Platinum Escalade.
Road Test: Audi S5
The coupe is back at Audi (never mind the TT, which has had two doors since its introduction in '98). The new A5 and S5 are coupes in the traditional sense -- two doors and a long, low body.
To showcase this stylish new car Audi invited us down to Washington D.C. for a rousing drive of the V8-powered S5. The rural roads of country Virginia really gave us a chance to stretch the S5's legs and work its chassis through the narrow, winding roads that cut through the area's farmland.
While we were in the capital we also managed to score an interview with Carter Balkcom, Audi's A5/S5 product manager.
Little Big Block - Autoline After Hours 196
Here at Autoline After Hours we pride ourselves on tracking down the all-important "gurus of go" in the automotive industry. Well, dang if we ain't lassoed another! Jordan Lee is the Global Chief Engineer and Program Manager for Small Block Engines at GM. But, Mr. Lee might just be upstaged by our other special guest on set: none other than the heart and soul of the Corvette itself, the 6.2L LT1 V-8. Plus, we'll get into some hot topics this week including the end of the great driving boom as miles driven per capita continues to decline. The new Fiat-Chrysler headquarters could end up in Auburn Hills, MI -- surprised? And is Jaguar going too far with its "baddest boy on the block" claim? Joining Peter De Lorenzo, the Autoextremist, to discuss all this and more is Gary Vasilash from Automotive Design & Production and Scott Burgess from Motor Trend.
