This year’s Consumer Electronics Show is over, but we still have news coming from Vegas. In the spotlight today are Audi and NVIDIA who have announced a partnership for future car models to use the new Tegra 2 graphics processor to power those stylish dashboards that get your eyes.

According to the German car maker, starting 2010, all Audi models will feature a “third-generation multimedia interface system along with technology advances to provide even more sophisticated graphics” for the brand’s customers. And that’s where the new Tegra 2 processor steps in for both its GPS offering and basic menu systems. It not only provides faster, clearer, more specific information, there are also richer than ever 3D visuals, along with a 10x less power consumption.

“This advanced technology allows motorists to get clearer, more specific information faster to help them navigate to destinations and points of interest on their journeys. And it delivers information motorists need in an integrated fashion through their vehicle’s systems further helping them to focus on the road,” said Audi in a statement.

For those who were wondering, the 2011 Audi A8 will indeed run on NVIDIA’s processors.

And yes, if anyone over at Audi cares, we’re in for a test drive guys.
