4. Audi Foldable Backpack

This backpack is truly versatile - it can be converted into a practical daypack from a mere belt bag. It has a large zip compartment on both the belt bag and the backpack, with a small side zip pocket on the right in the latter configuration. As a backpack, it has a usable main compartment, and carrying capacity for two standard drinking bottles, perfect for carrying everything you’ll possibly need for your daily activities.3152200100 Foldablebackpack 1 700x700There are tone-in-tone Audi rings on the straps and on the zip pullers, reflective print Audi rings on the backpack and on the top of the belt bag to remind you that this is no mere bag, but one that has been designed and approved by the same folks that are building some of the best cars on the roads today. You can buy the backpack for just $41.84, a true bargain for the quality that you’re getting!

3. MINI USB Key (32 GB)

Granted, this isn’t the cheapest USB flash drive. They’ve become so affordable in recent years, so the $67.29 MINI wants for their thumb drive does sound a bit steep. Sure, functionally speaking, a mass-market USB storage device will do the job just fine. But what they lack, is the MINI experience that you’ll only be able to get from a genuine MINI product.Editors%2 Fimages%2 F1671154100822 MinikeyThis flash drive has a plastic enclosure with a rubberised finish, a detachable cap for additional durability and even the option of attaching a keyring so it is easier to bring along with you. There’s also a debossed MINI Wing Logo, and it can also double up as a keychain should you so wish. MINI also offers a two year warranty for all MINI Lifestyle Collection merchandise items!

2. Volkswagen GTI Sunglasses

What better way to show off your petrolhead credentials than by donning a pair of Volkswagen GTI Sunglasses?

1. PUMA x Porsche Design Black Speedcat Mesh Men's Shoes

This has been designed for the drive-loving, 911-enthusiast.
