Volvo XC90

And although its purpose is not very clear, there is no doubt that this little creature sitting on its web will make you smile. After all, surprising is the main purpose of Easter.

 

 

 

Jeep

In different models of Jeep, you can find a lot of automotive easter eggs. These are the image of a bulldog in the bumper grid, and elements that resemble guns, and the inscription " Easter " on the rear-view mirror, and just the Jeep logo on the pedals. And under the cover of the fuel tank of the Jeep Renegade hides a chatty spider that says " Ciao, baby ".

 

 

 

Opel Corsa

Speaking of Easter eggs with images of animals, it is worth mentioning the shark hidden in the Opel Corsa . It is said that the idea of depicting this sea predator came to the son of Corsa designer Dietmar Finger when he saw the ribbed wall of the glove compartment lid. Since then, sharks continue to appear in cars of this brand, sometimes in more or less obvious places.

 

 

 

Renault Twingo RS

The Renault Twingo RS clutch, brake and gas pedals have the iconic Start, Stop and Pause icons (a pair of vertical lines, a square and a triangle) respectively. This humorous design element gives a reference to video games. So, shall we play?

 

 

Ford GT

Ford Motor Company was founded back in 1903 and changed America forever by introducing an affordable car for the middle class, the Model T. In 2003, in honor of the big anniversary, the company decided to design the headlights so that they resemble the number 100. Such a greeting certainly did not leave anyone indifferent.

 

 

 

Koenigsegg

 

Supercar manufacturer Koenigsegg hides a surprise on each of its cars - a small image of a ghost. This is a tribute to the " Phantom " squadron, which was the oldest military aviation unit in Sweden until it was disbanded. The squadron flew its missions at dusk and landed after dark. Residents living nearby only heard the planes, but did not see them. That is why they were called the squadron of ghosts. The reason that Koenigsegg also carries a ghost is that one of the factories of this brand was located in the abandoned Ghost Squadron airfield. Actually, this location still functions today, and the ghost still adorns Koenigsegg cars.

 

 

Tesla

Tesla car software developers love to leave entertaining easter eggs for users. Do you want to ride in Santa Claus' sleigh? No problem. With the help of a touch or the voice command " Ho-Ho-Ho ", you can turn on a special Christmas mode. Or maybe you dream of driving a submarine? Then enter the magic numbers 007 as the technical authorization code. Voila — and the famous submarine of James Bond will appear on the screen instead of Tesla . Are you a Mario Kart fan? Switch from autopilot mode and back four times, and instead of the normal road, the rainbow road from the game will appear on the car screen. It seems that the creativity of Tesla developers knows no bounds. After all, users of cars of this brand constantly find new impressive Easter eggs.

 

 

 

Jaguar E-Pace

Design surprises can also be found in the Jaguar car brand. So, in the E-Pace model, on the edge of the windshield, a small jaguar is depicted, which follows its mother. And at the bottom of the storage compartment on the center console, you can see the print of the skin of this predator.

 

 

 

Porsche

One Porsche is good, two is even better. Do you agree? Well, the designers of this brand designed the keys of the same shape as the car itself. And even more. The Porsche company added small headlights there, one of which lights up when the buttons on the key are activated.

 

 

Chrysler

 

Chrysler is known to print images of the Detroit skyline on the rubber floor mats of their cars. The city in which the General Motors office is located. This is how the brand honors its history with the help of Easter eggs.

 

  

 

 

You can argue for a long time about the feasibility of Easter eggs in a car.

 

But let's admit that they definitely do not leave anyone indifferent. Do you have them in your car?
