Supercar parades are always fun to be a part of and we’ve had our share of them over the years. But recently, Singapore hosted what could very well be one of the largest gatherings of Nissan GT-Rs you’ll ever come across with. Over 30 Godzillas were seen rampaging through the streets of the Asian country and if you couldn’t tell the difference between the fictitious Japanese monster and the all-too-real Japanese supercar, you probably wouldn’t think that Singapore is a nice place to be in at the moment. Here’s the best part, though. Considering how expensive cars are in Singapore (the cast of Fast & Furious 6 will attest to this), the people riding these GT-Rs know just how special of a supercar Godzilla really is.

A lot of you may not be familiar with the name David Brown, but in a few months’ time, you’re going to get really acquainted with the name and maybe even have strong desire to buy what it’s planning to offer. This coming April, the recently formed David Brown Automotive is set to premier a new sports car, an original one at that will be built with its own technology and engineering. No engine borrowing here, folks. The vehicle, which has been tentatively christened “Project Judi”, will also boast a classically-inspired exterior design that will perfectly blend with the best and newest in automotive performance, luxury and technology.

It was 50 years ago when Shelby American introduced the FIA version of the small block Cobra, the 289 FIA Cobra, which would eventually go to compete alongside the likes of Aston Martin and Jaguar in the World Manufacturers Championship. Now, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the car, Shelby American has confirmed it will build 50 continuation series 289 FIA Cobras, each of them decked out in the famous Viking Blue paint scheme and fitted with billet anniversary badges. The original race cars were based on the AC Cobra sports car but with a number of modifications designed for motorsport. These included a new dash, widened front and rear fenders, cut-back doors, new dampers, racing wheels featuring a pin-drive hub, custom oil cooler scoops and, of course, a competition spec 289 small block engine.

Every aspiring drug lord should have learned from Frank Lucas’ mistakes in American Gangster (and, you know, in real life). He was the rich, anonymous king of crack, and then he went and blew up his spot by wearing a chinchilla coat to a Muhammad Ali fight. Jose Rodrigo Arechiga Gamboa obviously didn’t learn the lesson in subtlety. The Mexican drug lord was arrested recently, and what appears to be his Instagram account might have been part of his downfall. The photos show off a lavish lifestyle, complete with BMWs, Lambos, Rolls Royces, and Bentleys. Since the faces in the photos are blurred out, there’s no way of confirming it was him. But if it is, he’s not exactly a genius for showing off online.
