Five (expensive) Christmas gifts for car lovers
1. Porsche 911 Soundbar 2.0 Pro
Price: 9,000 euros
Porsche owners who would also like to hear the exhaust sound of a 911 at home beware! The automaker is selling a genuine soundbar: the 911 Soundbar 2.0 Pro. The speaker consists of an exhaust system from a Porsche 911 GT3. So not the least 911. You can mount it on the wall or under the TV on its own stand. It features 300 watts of power, HDMI ports and Dolby’s Atmos. The price tag is hefty – 9,000 euros – but a pittance compared to that of a real 911 GTR: 253,000 euros.
2. Ferrari Pumps
Price: 750 euros
Looking for another gift for your wife or girlfriend? Slam open your laptop and go to the Ferrari Store. That’s where these high heels from Ferrari are for sale. They have a brushed laminate red finish that “reflects the luster of a Ferrari’s bodywork. And of course, they are adorned with Ferrari’s prancing horse.
3. Rolls-Royce wireless headphones
Price: 1,200 euros
Let everyone on the plane or train know your taste with these headphones from Rolls-Royce. They are made of aluminum and “Saffiano” brown leather. There are only 200 available and they come with a nice cover. The price is not known. At the automaker, the adage applies: if you ask what a Rolls should cost, you probably can’t afford it. But on the Internet they are for sale for 1,200 euros.
4. Lamborghini docking station and speaker
Price: 42,700 euros
Porsche is not the only automaker offering fine audio equipment. The Lamborghini web store lists this speaker for sale for only 42,700 euros. A bargain, right? It has a carbon fiber “monocoque chassis,” 800 watts of power and passive shock absorbers to dampen vibrations. The “start button” comes straight from a Lamborghini Huracan. You can choose from four colors: orange, red, yellow or black.
5. WD-40 Aftershave
This list so far consists mostly of expensive gifts, but so therefore here is a gift tip for the small wallet. In 2010, the maker of WD-40 announced a new product: WD-40 Aftershave. WD-40, according to its creator, had to be not only in every shed and garage, but also in the bathroom. The aftershave has the famous blue-and-yellow packaging and the white straw is included, for people who want to apply the goodness very precisely. Unfortunately, the manufacturer released the news of the product on April 1. You understand, it was about a joke….
