2012 SAVAGE RIVALE ROADYACHT GTS. Guy built a Lamborghini in his basement. Ultra-Luxurious Concept Yacht Comes with a Custom Supercar (Photos) If you can find a way to not spend any money and live to the age of 150, you stand a decent chance of one day being able to afford the Strand Craft 122, the incredibly luxurious and mouth-watering concept yacht that comes with a custom supercar.

But if not, chances are you’ll enjoy these renderings anyway, especially since they’re slated to become reality: Designer Eduard Gray has announced that the 122 will be built in the near future. SLIDESHOW: Futuristic Airbus Plane Has Transparent Cabin and More The 122, to be built by the Ned Ship Group, measures 38 meters (125 feet) from bow to stern, features a Rolls-Royce engine, pumps out 14,000hp and hits a top speed of 55 knots (about 63mph). And then there’s the interior: four large staterooms, reception and salon areas, crew cabins, 52″ LED televisions and Bang & Olufson sound systems in every room. Of course, the Strand Craft 122 would fall short of the ultimate luxury standard if it didn’t come with a custom-made supercar.

Informal gatherings like this for owners of rare or interesting cars happen across the country every week. Frequently called Cars and Coffee, it is a chance for car guys (and gals) to lose the formality of shows that are full of pristine machinery that arrived on a flatbed or in a trailer. Instead, they can enjoy a cup of coffee, some good conversation, and a great morning drive in their exotics. Every car that is at our local gathering in Chatham, NJ, Cars and Croissants, was driven there under its own power; no garage queens here. While it was chilly, we got out for one last show this past weekend and were incredibly impressed. Retro, Baby: The 2013 Ford Shelby GT500. Going back to the future is this very retro-cool, very powerful specimen from Ford Motors for 2013: the Ford Shelby GT500.

Boasting what has been billed as the most powerful production V8 engine in the world with 650 horsepower and a top speed of more than 200 MPH, this muscle-bound Mustang is a winner in our books. Pumping fuel through this road warrior is the aforementioned 5.8-liter, aluminum-block V8, which has been upgraded to accommodate a larger, more efficient supercharger. Other modifications for 2013 include new cross-drilled block and heads, updated camshaft profiles, a carbon fiber driveshaft and clutch, transmission and axle. The cooling system has also been tweaked, and the new six-speed manual transmission now has a final drive ratio of 3.31-to-1 – optimized to handle the tremendous torque generated by the new engine.
