Litronic(R) HeadlightsLitronic is Porsche's version of xenon lighting technology, with high-intensity-discharge low beams and halogen high beams. HID lights don't serve well when turned off and on frequently, as when dimming high beams at night. However, as low beams, Litronic units provide a 100% increase in the volume of light output compared to a 55W halogen bulb, while reducing power consumption to 35W. A xenon light, though it appears blue at night, is actually closer to daylight's "white" light spectrum than any incandescent bulb, further enhancing its ability.
As well, Litronic free-form reflectors are shaped to provide greater range in a straight line and better visibility to the side of the road. These benefits are two-fold in application. They allow one to drive more quickly on straight and on winding roads, because it's possible to see around turns better. Litronic also increases safety for the occupants of the vehicle and for kittens, puppies and children outside it, by allowing a driver to see them sooner and more clearly when they are on or near the road ahead of the vehicle.
