Motorists who jump red lights, break the speed limit and generally drive with reckless abandon are in for a rude shock if they misbehave over the Easter long weekend and beyond. Reminiscent of the popular radio programme Squad Cars, “they prowl the empty streets at night, in fast cars…”, the Johannesburg and Tshwane law enforcement departments, in a unique joint venture, have acquired six very special police cars.

The latest rumour in circulation is that the Nissan GT-R brand will get a hybrid powertrain in 2012 as a 2013 model year. According to Inside Line, the car would use the current 3.8-litre twin turbo V6 plus the battery powered electric drive powertrain in the 2009 Infiniti Essence Concept.

The Honda NSX might be gone, but it’s set to live on as the HSV-10 GT in Japan’s SuperGT championship.

We knew it was coming and now we’ve got details. According to the latest reports out of Japan, the Honda NSX will live on, but mere mortals will never get a shot behind the wheel.

The crew over from Japanese tuning house Tamon Design sent us these teaser sketches of their newest project car, the 2010 Nissan 370Z-based RC370Z, which is set to make its debut at the forthcoming Tokyo Auto Salon. Being a teaser and all, the company did not provide us with any specific details on the RC370Z, but the drawings suggest that the modded Z will benefit from a full body kit, new alloy wheels and tires, and quite possibly, a unique paint scheme.
