CELEBRITY PROBLEMS

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.

DELAYED BY DESIGN

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.

DEALERSHIP TO BEAT

LaFerrari sightings have just recently begun cropping up, and a Munich-based purveyor of exotic vehicles already claims to have one in its inventory. If you’re the sort to sneer at 950 hp, the same dealership is selling an Agrera R, too (that’s 1115 hp of Speed Racer-inspired monstrosity from the twisted mind of Christian von Koenigsegg). All this slippery carbon will cost you roughly $4.73M for the pair. Source: Road & Track

A McLaren 12C Spider serving as a police patrol car has been unveiled this weekend at 2014 Autosport International in Birmingham, UK. Towards the end of last year the famous Dubai police added another expensive model to its growing fleet, a McLaren 12C, and now the police in UK have received a similar gift but this time it’s the Spider version. The 240,000 GBP supercar will be used by the Central Motorway Group officers in the Midlands and has been offered by a local McLaren dealer.
