This weekend not only marks the beginning of the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, but also the launch date of the annual Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona. The 43rd edition of the auction will be a special one, as the company prepared a series of special vehicles that will be auctioned to benefit the Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund. One of these vehicles is a 2008 Bugatti Veyron 16.4 owned by Simon Cowell. When Cowell bought the Veyron back in 2008, it was the fastest street-legal vehicle in America, so this makes it even more special. The car comes with only 1,300 miles on the odometer and all of them were with Cowell at the helm. It features a custom black paint with black interior — this is one of just a few Veyrons offered in American in this configuration. The car also benefits from a full one-year, extended factory warranty offered directly through Bugatti.

Nick Cannon always jokes about his relationship with Mariah Carey because she has more money and fans than he does. At the end of the day though, he gets to go home to her so things kind of balance out. On Instagram, Nick shared a photo that was meant to show that Mariah is a level above him in the luxury toy department, but really it just makes us jealous that we don’t have those problems. They pull up to her jet in his Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster and the caption reads, “I thought I was fly in my Lambo until we pulled up to her Plane!” with the hashtags #RealBoss, #PowerCouple, #LuckyDude, and #IGottaGetMyShitTogether.

Originally scheduled to hit the production line later this year, the potent Caterham AeroSeven won’t go on sale until next year. The reason? Well, it turns out the Malaysians aren’t too fond of the design and we can’t blame them. Caterham Group CEO Graham Macdonald said that the redesign will primarily focus on the front-end while also adding a roof and proper doors.
