The automotive market hasn’t ceased to surprise with novelty gifts and other items, a lot of which aren’t necessarily the typical Corvette floor mats and Turtle Wax that a lot of us are probably used to buying our dads, along with the other gearheads in our lives, as Christmas stocking stuffers.

Last week we saw one of the best new examples of car craze, toy novelty out of Champaign, Illinois with the 1/10-scale, ’69 RS Camaro from Vaterra RC, one of the most life-like, radio-controlled car lineups we’ve seen to date.

In that spirit, we’ve stumbled across a feature product for this week that may just even top Vaterra’s life-like, ’69 Camaro RC. Because let’s face it: if you don’t have your cup of coffee in the morning, you’re just not likely to be a very nice person! Luckily this coffee/espresso machine from Espresso Veloce, that doubles as a Grand Prix V12 replica, combines two of your most important pastimes.

Gizmodo’s Andrew Liszewski talks about the Espresso Veloce’s potential appeal to the car-loving market, “Gearheads might find them hard to resist, with such features as oil filter-shaped coffee filters, and exhaust tubes where the actual brew is released,” explains Liszewski.

An engine replica designed to simulate the Grand Prix racing mills specific to the ’90s, Espresso Veloce’s V12 coffee maker is about half the size of the 3-liter machine on which it’s based, but with a limited production run of 500 units and a construction made up of aluminum, magnesium and titanium, the Veloce does not promise to be a cheap toy.

We’re not sure if the V12 brewer from Espresso Veloce will be able to keep up with Starbucks as far as coffee is concerned, but with an attention to detail that’s this life-like, is there not any way we can at least use this thing as a blender?!
