Vulcar Ingot Four Thousand

"':^)'""-Rstein in a nutshell"

Humane Labs & Research Ingot Four Thousand, or Rstein as everyone, including itself, calls him, was the name of a electronically sentient Vulcar Ingot VD90R.

Even though he has no relation to Knight Industries (or the Volvo 850 based TT5/Rstein), it's HLAR internal name was "Humane Labs & Research Vulcar Ingot Four Thousand", a nod towards the Knight Industries Two Thousand. The Larson Scanner in the front bumper further reinforces this.

History
Not much is known about this ridiculously fast Ingot VD90R, but what is known is that he was originally been planned as a car for a high-ranking MJ12 member. After it found out about that Humane Labs is a front for Majestic 12, Rstein quietly said goodbye and left for Sandy Shores, only to slip and crash into a drainage canal near the fields in Grapeseed due to a unforeseen oil slick on the road.

A day later, while a man named Reginald Staijn was pursuing a fleeing criminal with his Fagaloa, he saw the Ingot, pretty beaten up from the crash. He broke off the pursuit, towed the Ingot back to his garage, proceeded to fix Rstein and started using him as pursuit vehicle.

Sadly enough, however, Reginald was involved in a shootout a few days later and died. Rstein then went to Los Santos, only to be towed because it illegally parked on the sidewalk near the Mission Row PD.

While it was being towed, another vigilante which goes by the name of "Michael" saw him during a pursuit of a stolen police vehicle, and followed him to the impound lot, where he bought him.

And as of that day, the State of San Andreas had a new vigilante in town. Around March 2017 however, he parked Rstein somewhere in Los Santos, and left for The Netherlands to go after Majestic-12. Much later, in December that year, Reginald's son comes across his father's Ingot, somehow parked in Sandy Shores, and resumed the vigilante work his father did.

Nothing is forever though, in June 2019 Staijn quit his vigilante job due to personal reasons, left for his his home country Serbia, and told Rstein to go back to HLAR to be disassembled. Rstein refused to head back to HLAR and took off, to be never seen again in San Andreas.

Reginald and Rstein's current whereabouts are unknown. It is speculated Reginald died in Serbia after he got hit by a drunk driver while walking home. Rstein was last spotted by a police officer running radar (and getting clocked at.. 312 miles per hour!) near Paleto Boulevard, but since then he wasn't seen again. Rumors and Sandy Shores folklore is that Rstein is parked somewhere on a remote place in San Andreas, waiting on Reginald to return one day.

A running gag is that Rstein suffers from lifter tick, and every time he drives in to get it fixed, it comes back nearly instantly.

Rstein's Specs
Nanoshell: The Humane Labs Nanoshell makes Rstein and it's passengers immune for bullets, explosives, fire and electrical damage. He can also drive over Sticky Bombs to neutralise them. It also automatically repairs itself after getting damaged. It also gives Rstein dirt repellance and the ability to change wheels, paint and body parts on the fly. During wintertime, Rstein switches from it's normal appearance to a stock Ingot with matte white paint, a normal/non-VD90R front bumper, no sideskirts, slightly lifted suspension with offroad tires and only a spoiler.

THoT/The Hammer of Thor: The name for Rstein's signature Larson Scanner in it's grille. This allows 'Reg or Rstein to see in complete darkness and pick up heat signatures. It also functions as a radar for it's Auto Cruise and "Follow Driver" function.

Turbo Boost: Like KITT, KARR and TT5/Rstein, Rstein can jump ("Turbo Boost") over obstacles like road blocks or debris on the road. Turbo Boost also has a side effect of being able to flip Rstein back on it's wheels if it gets flipped on its roof.

Ski Mode: Rstein can drive on two wheels, often used to drive past road blocks.

Fourth Stage Aquatic Synthesizer: This allows Rstein to drive on water. Literally.

Schyster Racing 3.0 Twin Turbo Engine: This is what makes this Ingot go fast: a built Fusilade engine that has been swapped into this Ingot. Coupled to a 7-speed DCT gearbox and 40:60 front/rear split AWD system, it enables fast launches and quick cornering, and a top speed of over 210 miles per hour, or 300 miles per hour in Pursuit Mode, see below.

Pursuit Mode: If Reginald needed to go somewhere quickly, or to catch up in a pursuit, he'd often use Pursuit Mode. This gives Rstein a 50% increase in acceleration and a top speed of about 300 mph. It also gives him a more racy look with wide wheel arches, wider wheels and tires, lower ride height, a carbon rear wing, and removed roof racks. It also gives this car so much downforce, it can take some corners at 200 plus mph!

HFSS: Hyper Function Suspension Struts. Special suspension that can change height, camber and track width. This, coupled with the all wheel drive system, gives Rstein a insane amount of agility. A unintended but hilarious side effect is that Rstein is very prone to flipping over when hitting a bump during cornering, because of it's extreme amount of grip.

Winch/Grappling Hook: Integrated under the front and rear bumpers is a hidden winch with grappling hook functionality. This allows Rstein to tow vehicles or itself if needed in the rare case he gets stuck.

Vulcar Pilot Assist: This allows Rstein to drive itself without intervention of the driver. Rstein can also follow it's driver if he needs him. Rstein can also drive from point A to point B without driver.

Biomedical Scanner: Integrated in the driver's seat and in the scanner bar, Rstein can monitor it's driver's medical status, and can also scan dead bodies if there is suspicion that someone might have been murdered.

Electrochromic Windows: This allows Rstein to change it's window tint on the fly, from transparent to nearly fully opaque.

Auto Doors/Hood/Bootlid: If needed, Rstein can open it's doors, hood and bootlid automatically.

Surveillance Mode: Exactly as it says on the tin. This does several things:
 * Rstein can track people and/or vehicles, track their movements and discern proximity. It could also rather reliably predict where someone might be going next.


 * Rstein can also monitor radio transmissions, telephone communications, CCTV cameras or police bands and trace those calls. He can also tap into the police bands and give them information about suspect(s) locations or other tactical information.


 * Rstein can remotely break into computer systems to download, alter, remove or upload information.
