Fancy a McLaren?

Fancy a McLaren? Samsonite + McLaren = really fast suitcases

In possibly the most left-field collaboration of the year McLarenSport and Samsonite have combined forces to produce some luxury luggage for you to go holidaying around like Lewis Hamilton (or Heikki Kovaleinen if you prefer).

It’s the closest most of us will ever get to guiding a McLaren around, so the Samsonite line of McLarenSport luxury luggage is worth a look at. Apart from lightweight and durable, the new line of luggage presents a high-end wheel suspension system that absorbs the impact of bumpy ground to protect the valuables inside the bag.

The luggage is being produced under the McLarenSport Samsonite Black Label Collection and is incoming later this year at a price of around $326 (or around £200). We can’t help but thinking that if McLaren hadn’t spent a little much time developing suitcases and a bit more time on this year’s F1 car it may have been higher up the grid. Still, they are lovely suitcases.

It's Kovalainen not Kovaleinen! And Kovalainen is a better driver, Even McLarens Boss says so!
