Doug DeMuro·Car Reviews & AutomotiveI Bought the Ugly Porsche Carrera GT Anniversary Merch Collection
TL;DR
Doug bought every item from Porsche's Carrera GT 25th anniversary merch drop, and almost all of it is overpriced and ugly.
Key Points
- 1.T-Shirt #1 ($100): Features a holographic carbon fiber chassis structure on the back; described as looking like oil and water mixing in a driveway. Rated 4.4/10.
- 2.Keychain ($85): Standard silver Porsche key ring with "Carrera GT" on the back; comparable keychains sell on Amazon for $7–$60. Rated ~5/10.
- 3.1/33 Scale Diecast Model: Silver over brown (matching the original show car color), numbered one of 1,270; considered the most legitimate collectible in the set.
- 4.Playmobil Carrera GT Set: A 25-piece yellow smooshed Carrera GT toy; Doug's personal favorite item in the collection despite being a children's toy.
- 5.T-Shirt #2 ($100, sold out): Features a photo of the actual car on the back; sold out, suggesting buyers preferred the full-car image over the chassis graphic.
- 6.Hat: Embroidered Carrera GT on front, "25th Anniversary" on back, Velcro strap; Doug compared wearing it to a court-appointed little league umpire look.
- 7.Puma Speed Cat Shoes ($285): Left shoe has red Puma logo, right has blue (matching the wheel lock colors); the only item that sold out on launch day, and Doug's favorite piece.
- 8.Nylon Jacket (~$700 after tax/shipping): Silver crinkly nylon with red and blue sleeves, "Porsche Carrera GT" repeated down the sides, and a pocket labeled "screwdriver" in German; universally mocked as a solar blanket or hazmat suit. Total collection cost: ~$1,400.
