• Top 5 Petrolhead Christmas Gifts

1. Porsche GT2 RS 1:18 Model - limited to 1,911

The Porsche 911 (991) GT2 RS is the most powerful 911 ever made, with a colossal 691bhp. When Porsche unleashed it on the infamous Nurburgring on 20th September 2017, it broke the production car lap record, achieving a time of just 6 minutes 47 seconds. The first customer cars will be delivered soon and if you want to buy one, unfortunately it's too late as all 1,000 examples have been sold.

Happily, however, you can still purchase an official 1:18 scale model of this incredible 911. With unbelievable detail, this is far from just your average toy car and is a must for any petrolhead or adult diecast collector. Limited to 1,911 pieces, just like the 1:1 you're going to have to be quick! Contact your local Stratstone Porsche Centre to order your official Porsche merchandise 1:18 model in time for Christmas.

2. BMW Motorsport ICE Watch Chrono

Cars and watches have a close relationship. Most petrolheads appreciate a fine watch, and manufacturing cars and watchmaking share close similarities such as fine engineering, innovation, desire and of course links to motorsport. Many watch brands even have motorsport inspired designs or partnerships with motorsport/car manufacturers.

This striking BMW Motorsport ICE Watch Chrono is perfect for those who are a fan of BMW, and even features a Chronograph function so if you're a fan of track days, you can keep log of your lap times. And if blue isn't your colour, our BMW dealers are able to supply a number of stunning BMW-branded watches as part of official BMW merchandise, so you're sure to find the right one for that special someone. Contact your local Stratstone BMW Centre.

3. Jaguar/Aston Martin 007 Scalextric Spectre Edition

Supplied by Jaguar within their online Jaguar merchandise store, it could also be perfect for Aston Martin or James Bond fans too.
