Wheel Well Monitor From TREO CXT Pick-up
TREO Engineering, a company known for pushing the limits of car audio, has unveiled the world’s most powerful single channel amplifier designed for a vehicle. The TREO CXT 6.1 produces more than 10,000 watts and comes with a price tag of $6,000. The company suggests that the amp be paired up with their CXT Subwoofer, which runs $2,000.
With the woofer alone weighing in at 80 lbs, the setup is best suited for a big truck or SUV, like the CXT pick-up truck TREO brought to the show, which also happens to be the largest production pick-up in the world. At 21 feet long with a 9-foot tall cab, the CXT truck is pimped out with 24,000 watts of power, multiple flat screens, Recaro seats and performance enhancements. Aside from the sound system, our favorite customizations on the CXT have to be the wheel well and bumper monitors. If you really want to keep the haters entertained, those monitors behind the back headrests just aren’t going to cut it anymore.

FLIR, known for manufacturing commercial nightvision systems for law enforcement, has introduced their first infrared night vision adaptable for any car. With the PathfindIR system, a camera is mounted in a car grille, and the AV output hooks into any LCD and even some dashboard nav systems.
PathFindIr sees up to 5x further than headlights and produces a clear image in total darkness. The company touts the safety benefits of the PathfindIR, which you’ll see in the video. We think it’s also good for drive-bys and late night drug runs in the Lambo.
The whole system will run you just under $4,500 without the LCD and installation.

Audi has announced that it will be publicly unveiling two new cars at this year’s North American International Auto Show in Detroit, starting January 13. One will be a “stunning” concept car, and the other will be a production model. While it remains unclear which of these two categories it will fall under, one of the new whips will be an Audi R8 powered by the brand’s V12 TDI diesel engine. According to Autoblog, “the car is projected to have around 500bhp/738 ft-lbs of torque, accelerate to 62 mph in 4.2 seconds and return 28 mpg, presumably on the highway.” The only downside is that the bigger engine will eat up all the trunk space. Although the V12 R8 is most likely the new concept, we hope to see it in production form sometime soon.

Created by Marion Hyper-Submersible Powerboat Design, the 31-foot Hyper-Sub can be deployed directly from the dock, making it the first of its kind in the small submarine class. The company’s mission with the sub is to “open the seas to industry, individuals, and the military in ways never before thought possible.” Thirty-one year in the making, the Hyper-Sub is still in the test phase but should be ready for sale in the next several years. When the company starts manufacturing the vessel, it will make four models. The starting price is expected to be around $3.5 million.
