We already know what “the house spends”. We always leave everything to last, and besides, who really wants to walk into a shopping center bursting at the seams to buy Christmas gifts?
Let us help you… Well, at least when choosing a gift for the enthusiast or petrolhead in you, your friends or family.
We've put together some suggestions, and not even the classic socks were missing. Hope you enjoy it!
Oh yes… socks!
We start with the most classic gift of all: SOCKS! Perhaps the most dreaded gift for children, along with that of the other great classic, a pair of underwear. But these socks are different, much more interesting for the petrolhead in us.
Created by Heel Tread which, despite its name, is a Portuguese company, dedicated itself to creating socks that replicate the decorations and patterns that have become legendary in motor sport and also in the industry. Socks in the colors of Martini Racing on the Lancia Delta? Yes there is. Socks in the colors of General Lee of the "Three Dukes"? Oh yeah…
There is a lot to choose from.
Defend
They couldn't miss it. At Razão Automóvel, we're huge fans of Lego building blocks — they're always great Christmas gifts and more — and recent years have seen the introduction of very complete models of some of the most desirable wheeled machines of the moment, like the Porsche 911 GT3 RS and the Bugatti Chiron.

This year, Lego anticipated Land Rover and it is now possible to purchase its version of the new Defender . Enticing? No doubt.
SEAT eXs
Okay, it's not a car, but let's be honest, no one, no matter how petrolhead they are, likes to be left behind for hours in traffic. Now, given this problem the SEAT eXs it may well be the solution.
With LED lights, shock absorbers, a maximum speed of 25 km/h and a range of up to 45 km, the small eXs could very well be the ideal solution to face the chaotic traffic that is felt in the days before Christmas (and not only).
For Cybertruck fans
THE Tesla Cybertruck it is, for all intents and purposes, one of the releases, or rather, one of the revelations of the year. Like it or not, it's a provocative proposition, not just about what to expect from a large pickup truck — after all, it wants to rival Detroit's Big Three pickups —; how it has generated the liveliest discussions among automotive designers.For fans who can't wait for the end of 2021, beginning of 2022 (the year it hits the market), we propose this model on… paper. Cybertruck's polygonal design turns out to be ideal for this cutting and bending exercise. Just follow the link you can find on its creator's twit to download the template:
Here’s a simple and stylish paper project of the #TeslaCyberTruck . It’s easy to build and FREE to download. It should tie you over until you can buy one (yeah right)

Reading… is the best medicine
When it comes to Christmas gifts, offering a book is always an excellent option. The copy that we show you, “The Ford that Beat Ferrari: A Racing History of the GT40”, allows us to discover in much more detail the whole story behind the Ford GT40, which could defeat the seemingly invincible Ferraris in the 24 Hours of Le Mans .
And why a book about the Ford GT40? Well, after having seen the movie “Ford V Ferrari” we confess that we were curious to find out more about the development of the GT40, which the film approaches very lightly.
Hopefully they enjoyed it.
Happy Holidays is the wish of the entire Razão Automóvel team!
