From clever storage solutions to the downright extravagant, a few of these creations made it into production while others remain concepts or one-off luxuries. Either way, they certainly got people talking.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <nav class=\"ukc-toc\" aria-label=\"Jump to an accessory\">\n    <p class=\"ukc-toc-title\">Pick your favourite bit of madness:<\/p>\n    <div class=\"ukc-toc-links\">\n      <a href=\"#ukc-renault-baguette\">The baguette holder<\/a>\n      <a href=\"#ukc-citroen-basket\">The 2CV basket<\/a>\n      <a href=\"#ukc-skoda-clever\">\u0160koda&#8217;s clever tricks<\/a>\n      <a href=\"#ukc-bugatti-watch\">The W16 watch<\/a>\n      <a href=\"#ukc-mclaren-golf\">McLaren golf clubs<\/a>\n      <a href=\"#ukc-skoda-pets\">Dog-friendly \u0160koda<\/a>\n      <a href=\"#ukc-rolls-picnic\">The luxury picnic<\/a>\n      <a href=\"#ukc-bentley-fishing\">Bentley goes fishing<\/a>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/nav>\n\n  <section class=\"ukc-section\" id=\"ukc-renault-baguette\">\n    <p class=\"ukc-kicker\">01 \/ The most French accessory ever<\/p>\n    <h2>Renault 5 baguette holder<\/h2>\n    <figure>\n      <img src=\"https:\/\/www.ukcarline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/23429-r-dam-1545779-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Wicker baguette holder fitted beside the centre console in a Renault 5 E-Tech\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\">\n      <figcaption>Finally, somewhere your baguette can travel in style.<\/figcaption>\n    <\/figure>\n    <p>The Renault 5 is unashamedly French, so perhaps we shouldn&#8217;t be surprised that one of its most distinctive accessories is designed for carrying a baguette. Yes, an actual baguette.<\/p>\n    <p>It&#8217;s a dedicated woven-wicker holder that sits neatly inside the electric hatchback, helping to keep your loaf upright and your interior a little less crumb-covered. The best bit? Unlike plenty of crazy concept-car ideas, this one made it into Renault&#8217;s genuine accessories range.<\/p>\n    <div class=\"ukc-takeaway\"><strong>The verdict:<\/strong> Finally, a sensible answer to the age-old problem of loose bread in the passenger footwell.<\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n  <section class=\"ukc-section\" id=\"ukc-citroen-basket\">\n    <p class=\"ukc-kicker\">02 \/ A basket case, in the best way<\/p>\n    <h2>Citro\u00ebn 2CV concept basket<\/h2>\n    <figure>\n      <img src=\"https:\/\/www.ukcarline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/citroen-2cv-035-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Bright yellow Citro\u00ebn 2CV concept interior with removable central storage basket\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\">\n      <figcaption>The 2CV concept makes storage part of the design.<\/figcaption>\n    <\/figure>\n    <p>Unveiled at the 2026 Paris Motor Show, the new Citro\u00ebn 2CV concept brings one of France&#8217;s most recognisable cars into the electric age. It&#8217;s playful, full of personality and packed with nods to the original.<\/p>\n    <p>One of our favourites is the removable basket in place of a traditional centre console. There&#8217;s also a pull-out front seat and a detachable &#8216;Radio\u00ebn&#8217; radio that can double as a portable speaker. It&#8217;s a car interior that seems just as ready for a day out as it is for the school run.<\/p>\n    <p>These are <strong>concept-car features for now<\/strong>, rather than accessories you can head out and order today, but we&#8217;d love to see some of that character make it into the production version.<\/p>\n    <div class=\"ukc-takeaway\"><strong>The verdict:<\/strong> All it needs is a chequered picnic blanket and a nice bit of cheese.<\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n  <section class=\"ukc-section\" id=\"ukc-skoda-clever\">\n    <p class=\"ukc-kicker\">03 \/ The surprisingly useful one<\/p>\n    <h2>\u0160koda&#8217;s &#8216;Simply Clever&#8217; features<\/h2>\n    <figure>\n      <img src=\"https:\/\/www.ukcarline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/16638-260817-simply-clever-for-summer3-a3783699-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"A \u0160koda driver removes the integrated umbrella from the front door\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\">\n      <figcaption>An umbrella in the door?

On electric models including the Elroq and Enyaq, that scraper is stored inside the tailgate, ready for frosty mornings.<\/p>\n    <p>They&#8217;re not the sort of features that make headlines for being outrageous, but they&#8217;re exactly the kind of touches you end up showing everyone after buying the car.<\/p>\n    <div class=\"ukc-takeaway\"><strong>The verdict:<\/strong> \u0160koda is more prepared for British weather than the Met Office<\/div>\n  <\/section>\n\n  <section class=\"ukc-section\" id=\"ukc-bugatti-watch\">\n    <p class=\"ukc-kicker\">04 \/ A supercar for your wrist<\/p>\n    <h2>Bugatti W16 watch<\/h2>\n    <figure style=\"max-width: 610px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\">\n      <img src=\"https:\/\/www.ukcarline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/003_titanium-front.jpg\" alt=\"Jacob and Co Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon watch showing its miniature mechanical W16 engine\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-color: #06080d;\">\n      <figcaption>A tiny W16 engine, with moving parts.

Enter the Jacob &amp; Co. x Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon, launched in 2020.<\/p>\n    <p>Inspired by the Chiron&#8217;s famous W16 engine, the watch features an astonishing miniature mechanical recreation. Press a crown and you can watch 16 tiny pistons move, the crankshaft turn and two decorative turbochargers spin. It&#8217;s more like a mechanical sculpture than a watch.<\/p>\n    <p>Is it practical? Not especially. Is it incredibly impressive?
