Esprit. Lotus Esprit.
The Lotus Esprit S1 was the first version of the mythical british model, a car that became known for its avant garde shape and great handling mostly due to Lotus’ relentless weight reduction obsession.
But it was when it plunged into the Mediterranean and transformed in to an impossibly cool submarine in one of the most surprising car chases in any 007 movie, a move that made Bond and car fans around the world gasp. As well as being an amphibian it could shoot torpedoes, drop sea mines and launch surface to air missiles. If only modern SUV’s could keep up with 1970’s technology…

A road legal V8 engined race car which stood a mere 40 inches from the tarmac… need we say more? The inspiration for the desgin were Gulf Oil colors, which in combination with the sweeping lines of the Ford GT40 made it arguably the most iconic race car of all time.

The car that invented the hot hatch set a pretty high bar for all that came after it.
But its birth wasn’t easy…
The prototype was based on a Scirocco, with an EA827 engine with dual carburettors and a lowered and stiffened suspension. When this prototype was driven by Volkswagen’s Chief of Research, he objected to the harsh suspension and excessive noise from the intake system and declared the car “undriveable”.Nevertheless the VW Golf GTI team preservered and ended up assembling a truly special automobile.
Gunhild Liljequist was tasked with creating a set of features that would set theGTI’s interior apart from the normal Golf. Her contributions became car interior design legends: the bright Tartan plaid upholstery and the dimpled golf-ball-like gearshift knob, making this sock design sort of a no-brainer for us.

The Williams FW16 competed in the 1994 Formula One season and was raced by British driver Damon Hill to finish runner-up in the 1994 World Drivers Championship. Unfortunately it was also the car in which Ayrton Senna was killed during the third race of the 1994 season. This is our tribute to the greatest F1 driver of all time.The inspiration for the sock design comes from the Rothmans cigarettes sponsorship livery.

It gave us the first BMW M3. It is by far the best looking 80’s sedan, it has the coolest stance and the coolest DTM paint job that made our life very very easy… Can you tell it’s one of our favorites?

In 1991, Mazda became the first Japanese automaker – and only rotary-engine racer – to win the world’s most demanding endurance race, the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
In the end, it came down to the reliability of the Wankel rotary engine that made up for the lack of speed against the mighty Jaguar and Mercedes competitors.
The unique conditions that enabled this surprising victory – along with a crowd pleasing high-revving engine with F1-like noise – immediatelly elevated the 787B to racing legend status. The orange and green diamond Renown livery makes for a pretty cool looking pair of socks, even if you first had to google “wankel rotary engine” to get what all the fuss is about. 80% Combed Cotton, 17% Polyamide, 3% Elastane.

“If God was a machine, it would definitely be an F40” – Enzo Ferrari *
The best Ferrari’s were always built with a particular purpose. The F40 was designed for speed and performance, a car specifically engineered to beat the Porsche 959. This meant that it that it would need to become the first production car to reach the mythical 200 mph mark – not to mention the, at the time unheard of, 0-62 mph time of 4.1s. To achieve its purpose, a 2.9L twin-turbo V8 putting out close to 500 hp was mounted in the back and extensive use of carbon, kevlar and magnesium made it race car light. It also probably didn’t hurt that the expression “true Ferrari” was commonly thrown around by the team that developed the F40.
It was also, from the very beginning, the last Ferrari to have Enzo’s touch. Both him and the team knew at the time that this would be the last Ferrari that “Il Commendatore” would ever personally sign off on.
No wonder then, that it turned out to be a “true Ferrari”.
Enzo Ferrari called this Jaguar “the most beautiful car ever made”. The iconic front air intake was the inspiration for this design. Simple, yet impossibly elegant.In British Racing Green, of course.

A rear-engine 4-wheel-drive mini rocket that was purposefully built to compete in the infamous Group B rally – with the likes of the Audi Quattro Sport, Peugeot 205 T16, Lancia Delta S4 and Ford RS200 – while still keeping some visual resemblance with its biological father, the MG Metro. 80% Combed Cotton, 17% Polyamide, 3% Elastane.

Only 39 Ferrari 250 GTO’s were ever built so chances are that the closest you’ll ever get to one is owning a pair of these socks. The knit design was inspired on those gorgeous headlights and air intakes. In Ferrari Rosso, what else?
