The first allegedly official images of the 2015 Subaru WRX STI have been published online, ahead of a confirmed NAIAS debut later this month. Subaru introduced the 2015 WRX back in November at the Los Angeles Auto Show and now we catch a first glimpse at the hotter STI variant which adopts a more aggressive body kit painted in Subaru’s traditional World Rally Blue matched with golden alloy wheels. Apparently this finish will be reserved initially for a first edition which is likely to come with other enhancements. While the aforementioned WRX makes use of a 4-cylinder, 2.0-liter boxer rated at 268 bhp (200 kW) and 258 lb-ft (349 Nm), the STI is rumored to get a larger 2.5-liter turbocharged four-banger with 300 bhp (224 kW) and 290 lb-ft (393 Nm).

Fast star Ludacris has to be hoping 2014 goes much better than 2013. First, he had to deal with a child support case in September with his baby mama Tamika Fuller, who had Luda’s child while he was still with his longtime girlfriend. Then he had to deal with the case going public—an occurrence so daunting that Fuller used it to extort Ludacris for a new car and $7,500. Ludacris asked the judge in his case to file a gag order because Fuller was threatening to go public with the proceedings if her demands weren’t met, according to documents obtained by TMZ. The judge didn’t grant his request, so we, the public, ended up finding out anyway. No word on if Ludacris succumbed to Fuller’s demands or what car she demanded in the first place.

How did the world’s greatest musician keep life interesting? Birthday boy Elvis Presley had all sorts of treasures on his key rack, from a six-door Mercedes 600 limo to a Stutz Blackhawk, not to mention the No. 11 Shelby Cobra 427 he piloted in Wipeout!. But most of all, Elvis adored his Cadillacs. He fell in love with this Eldorado in a Memphis dealership in the winter of 1967 and drove it daily for some time. He soon encountered a problem, though: It wouldn’t start. Apparently, The King vented his frustration by shooting the car with his pistol. That story is free, but owning this will cost you $229,000.
