The Truth is that its an IR Light Transmitter with IR night vision camera above. At the top you’ll notice the IR Camera in silver and then the beast is a massive IR Transmitter. Most IR Night Vision cameras have 50 or so IR LED lights that allow them to see up to 50 meters. However, when traveling at speeds in excess of 150+ mph,… 50 meters comes and go’s way to fast to be effective. With the IR Light Transmitter, the light is emitted at much greater distances, allowing for visibility at a much greater distance.

Look it up – you’ll see that exact IR Transmitter (and similar) being used in other applications ,… and the camera can be found on eBay and different online stores.

yeah… sure… you really dont know much about physics, dont you, huh?
lolz… disrupt the flow of electrical cut by infrasonic pulse… great imagination.

All it can produce is below hearing range boom. You can feel it, but not hear it. Earthquake produces same effect. So great, innovative and impressive substitute of a horn… and nothing more.

The Infra-Sonic Pulse Generator is to disrupt the flow of electrical current or something close to that. It basically shuts down the squad car ahead of the R8. Think of it as the stun gun for anything that uses electrical current. Pulse-ray guns have been around for a while. The complexity and cost is what has prevented us hoons from ever owning one.

The idea is that since cops take stupid risks to stop moronic felons, whatever cop cruiser makes it in front of the R8 will be momentarily disabled. This means the engine, lights, radio, siren, and including the police officers personal police radio, which flexes to the trunk radio/battery in the trunk.

One would have to assume that the pulse gun generator would take out a cell-phone as well. A police officer is not going to figure this out in 5 seconds flat. I mean the pulse gun technology goes against all the police training in the world.

Jail time for this machine is incredible, if you get caught.

John, I think you forgot to mention that this posting (Audi R8) is also on the 10-days-of-crunch-gear-christmas giveaway promo you’re doing…

Burt Reynolds is the man. I have him as the voice on my GPS that I got from Navtones.com. He often helps me escape from tricky situations now! That’s all this car is missing!
