Nightvision Flashlight Camcorder




Looking to take video on the sly, or start your own underground version of COPS? The Nightvision Flashlight Camcorder ($150) can help. Sporting an eight LED array, it's a highly functional flashlight, but hides a two-megapixel still/VGA video camera in its face, which also happens to have an eight-foot nightvision range for even more covert recording. A five hour Li-ion battery keeps things running, while your video is recorded to a microSD card tucked inside the chassis.

Koenigsegg Agera




God bless Gran Turismo, for giving us a chance to "drive" cars that we could only afford if we hit a Hurley-sized jackpot. The Koenigsegg Agera ($TBA) would qualify as one of those cars. This Swedish-built supercar sports the same 4.7-liter V8 as the company's prior CCX, but ups the ante with 910 hp, good for a 0-62 time of 3.1 seconds and a top speed of over 242 mph. As if that weren't enough to entice you to spend your virtual dollars, the Agera also sports LED headlamps, new front and rear fascias, and a carbon fiber and aluminum chassis that helps bring the beast's weight down below 2,900 lbs. Oh, and having lottery-winning money isn't the only requirement for ownership: only 16-20 will be built each year, meaning that you'll have to win the lottery all over again in order to get your hands on one.
