7 strange car gadgets, which are quite expensive

Today, the automotive market is more than ever striking in its assortment. In order to attract potential consumers, manufacturers have to go for various marketing tricks, adding all new options to cars. Of course, because of this, the car sometimes becomes more expensive. Here we will introduce 7 interesting car gadgets, which cost a lot of money.

1. Starry sky in the cabin
For lovers of astronomy or just those who like the landscape of the night sky, Rolls-Royce designed the interior, decorated with 176 LEDs and 1340 fiber optic elements on a dark background. However, such a beautiful option will cost a lot - about eleven and a half thousand dollars.

2. Built-in suitcase

Attempts to upgrade cars with additional options were made a long time ago. So, in 1984, the Alfa Romeo 90 luxury rear-wheel drive sedan was released, which had one interesting detail - a diplomat-style suitcase was built into the glove compartment, which was quite practical for those who always need such a thing. An interesting fact: there is even a kind of legend about the occurrence of this feature in Alfa Romeo. According to it, the option of the built-in diplomat almost literally “flew into the head” to one of the employees of the corporation: when he was sitting in the back seat of the car, during a sharp braking, the briefcase lying under the rear window hit him on the head.

3. Fisherman's set

Among car lovers there are many of them who love fishing. It was for such drivers that Bentley developed an interesting feature - in the boot of the Bentayga crossover they placed the “Fly Fishing by Mulliner” portable fishing kit. The set includes: four fishing rods, a bag with tackle, fishing nets, as well as containers for food and drinks. But the price of such a set is fully consistent with the luxury level of the car itself - about one hundred and two thousand dollars.

4. Built-in coffee machine

This gadget will be a great detail in the car for real coffee lovers. The developers of the five-seater Fiat 500L compact van, who built in a coffee machine with the function of making espresso for $ 385, took care of this option.

Shortly after the Fiat 500L, Audi took this gadget with a whole range of “coffee” accessories. The set includes the coffee machine itself, two cups of unbreakable material, 18 capsules for brewing espresso, cleaning wipes, as well as a briefcase for transporting the set. All these accessories cost 199 euros.

5. Weather service for motorists

Owners of cabriolets have additional troubles that other motorists are not burdened with. For example, they must remember to return the top to the place so that impending rain does not wet the interior. But the manufacturers of the Mini cabriolet made sure that the drivers were always warned of an imminent bad weather: they integrated the function of receiving weather information in the area where the car was located in the navigator. In addition, the alarm signal is connected not only with the car’s media system, but also with the owner’s mobile phone, so the latter will always know when it is necessary to raise the top of the car. The cost of the built-in weather service is two thousand dollars.

Pets often become for their owners the real family members, who also deserve comfort. Honda developers, who equipped their Honda Element crossover with a special “dog kit”, also thought about this. The kit, the price of which is about a thousand dollars, includes mats for the pet, additional covers for the rear seats, a dog retention system in the form of a mesh, and even a fan for blowing the animal in hot weather.

7. Heated armrests

Heating is one of the most popular options in cars, which seems to have been built in wherever possible. However, the experts of the Mercedes-Benz concern went even further - they integrated the heating option in the center and door armrests of the seats. The developers have built this unusual gadget into a number of their cars, in particular, the Mercedes-Maybach GLS. The cost of this “warm function” is three thousand dollars.
