A Lamborghini baby stroller? Nissan tire-dust perfume? Porsche Cayenne hot sauce? There’s lots of weird car merch out there
If you loved what we did last year, never fear, the same elements are still here in our compilation below: respectable carmakers marketing kitschy merchandise, often at exorbitant prices. We’re just spreading the second-hand embarrassment around even more manufacturers, is all!
(And despite the pithiness you’ll read on this page, we swear we pass no judgment if any of these wares actually appeals to you—some of it’s sort of neat, in its own way! Just don’t expect us to fawn over Cadillac sneakers or a Lamborghini baby stroller.)
Revo | Lexus Spindle premium sunglasses: US$279
We’ll start you off easy with a vertical you’ll find a lot of high-end automakers dipping their toes in: luxury eyewear. The new Lexus collection from sunglass retailer Revo, launched in January 2025, actually boasts a not-unreasonable price tag, either. We’re not saying the equivalent of CDN$400 shades are a good value, don’t get us wrong, just that that’s more in line with an un-branded analog.
Fahrengold Bugatti Edition FG-01 Garage: CDN$100,000-plus
Bugatti refers to the box garage as “museum-inspired,” but to us it looks more like the packaging for a scale-model diecast car. But the specs do impress: it’s made out of a galvanized steel frame with security-glass windows; is built from 2,500 pieces; and takes eight days to install. Features include climate control, gel tire cushions, and a security camera and a smoke detector, as well as a “personalized plaque reflecting the owner’s specific vehicle.”
A price was not noted, but as of 2021, a regular non-branded FG-01 garage would run you about €49,160, or CDN$77,000, so we’d peg the Bugatti version at at least six figures.
Ford Mustang and Bronco e-bikes: CDN$4,990 to CDN$5,990
“The legend is on two wheels!” Isn’t that exactly what you’ve been waiting to hear, Mustang and Bronco enthusiasts? Finally, you can get the same “distinct styling, power, handling, and performance” you love from the Blue Oval’s most coveted nameplates in an angularly shaped 500-watt electric bike, built in conjunction with industry leader N+ bicycles.
Porsche Cayenne hot sauce: free
Don’t know about you, but we’re suddenly very much wishing we had. We could have come home with a sample of the “Original” sauce, which “mirrors the versatility of the Cayenne with a sweet flavour and a garlicky, yet spicy finish”; or perhaps the “Cayenne S,” which adds a “spicier cayenne pepper kick [over] a combination of mangos and pineapple.” There were also two E-Hybrid inspired sauces – with green cayenne peppers and jalapeño, naturally – and, spiciest of all, “GTS” and “Turbo GT” sauces, that latter made from chipotle and red ghost peppers.
La Ferrari Dino bowling bag: CDN$3,900
Suzuki Katana GSX 1100 S pizza cutter: CDN$25
We’ll be upfront and admit we’re not sure if this one is actually an officially licenced Suzuki product—it comes out of Japanese retailer Camshop, which sells the eerily-accurate-to-a-real-1981-Suzuki-Katana-GSX-1100 culinary implement for 2,640 yen, including the matching stand. The body is plastic, and the blade stainless steel, and, yes, even though the company is Japan-based, it apparently does international shipping.
Other products out of Camshop include a tissue box shaped like an Initial D Sprinter Trueno, a neat little piece of kitsch that is licensed by Toyota proper and makes us think the Suzuki pizza-cutter might be, too.
Tesla Levitating Cybertruck model: US$250
No one does weird merch quite like Tesla, which in the past has hawked everything from flamethrowers to tequila to branding irons. The latest must-have gizmo it revealed December 2024 was a 1:24-scale replica of its polarizing Cybertruck that literally levitated off of your desk, surely a steal at US$250. At least, a lot of Tesla devotees must have thought so, as the model sold out almost immediately (though the number it was making available is not known).
Rolls-Royce Cameo model: US$8,000
Rolls-Royce itself doesn’t publicly list a price (though it is apparently available through its dealers) but one retailer is offering up Cameo kits for US$8,000, so that’s probably a good ballpark.
Nissan Nismo ‘Smell My Dust’ perfume: $???
From the files of “wait, for real?” comes this piece of Nissan merch that feels like a prank. It’s a new fragrance tied to the brand’s Nismo performance arm and called “Smell My Dust,” an invective the company wants you to take literally. Yes, the perfume is apparently actually made with real bits of tire dust captured from Nissan’s Formula E electric racing cars, blended with notes of Sakura cherry blossoms—the flower is featured on the race cars’ liveries. There’s whiffs of rosemary, wood, and burnt sugar, too.
The fragrance was apparently meant to celebrate the Shanghai E-Prix back in May 2024 and was targeted toward young Chinese racing fans. Exactly how many bottles were produced and at what price remains something of a mystery.
Cadillac Dominic Ciambrone sneakers: US$5,000
When Cadillac announced it’d be making available a limited set of designer shoes beginning September 8, 2024, it meant very limited: the luxury automaker was only offering up 20 pairs total of the four styles of sneakers it’d designed in collaboration with Dominic Ciambrone and his Surgeon brand. And because exclusivity always comes at a price with these premium marques, each set was selling for US$5,000.
Lamborghini x Silver Cross Reef AL Arancio baby stroller: CDN$7,500
These strollers will be legit, with Lamborghini-inspired styling cues like leather and suede trim and a powder-coated chassis (and, of course, Lambo badges all over). The Reef AL Arancio will be limited to just 500 examples, so you’re going to want to get yours ASAP.
