Deadmau5 (also known as Joel Thomas Zimmerman) posted pictures of his [Ferrari 458](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/romero-britto) decorated with Nyan Cat, the popular Internet meme of 2011. For those who are lucky enough to not remember, Nyan Cat was a viral video of a cat with the body of a Pop-Tart that flew through space and left a rainbow trail behind it. It was the fifth most viewed [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/power-of-the-purr-playlist) video of 2011. The body of the Ferrari is a baby blue color, with Nyan Cat flying around along the sides. The Nyan Cat Ferrari is not a paint job, but rather it is a vinyl wrap, meaning that it can removed with relative ease, so all you Ferrari purists can breath a bit easier now. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Vinyl Wrapped Luxury Cars:** The trend of using vinyl wraps as a customizable and easily removable alternative to traditional car paint has disruptive innovation potential for luxury car manufacturers and marketing firms. - **Pop Culture-influenced Design:** Designs that feature references to popular memes or current pop culture trends have disruptive innovation potential for marketers, designers, and merchandise manufacturers. - **Social Media Viral Marketing:** The viral success of the Nyan Cat phenomenon and its incorporation into the design of a luxury car has disruptive innovation potential for marketers seeking new methods of social media engagement. ### Where This Applies - **Luxury Car Manufacturing:** Luxury car manufacturers could offer vinyl wrapping options or partner with pop culture influencers to create limited edition designs to appeal to a younger, meme-savvy demographic. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Marketing and advertising firms could develop campaigns that leverage the popularity and virality of current memes to promote products, services, or individuals. - **Merchandising:** The incorporation of popular memes or pop culture references into branded merchandise (such as vinyl car wraps) can create new disruptive innovation possibilities for merchandise manufacturers and retailers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pop Artist-Designed Auction Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/850i-xdrive-gran-coupe.md) - [Retro Sci-Fi-Inspired Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-12cilindri.md) - [Single-Edition Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sf48-unica.md) - [Italian Sports Car-Branded Chargers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ferrari-ev-charger.md) - [Vegas-Themed Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/project-viva.md) - [Modified Everyday Supercars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mansory-ferrari-roma.md) - [Retro-Futuristic Sports Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nebula-928.md) - [Anime Creature-Inspired Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pikachu-aceman.md) - [Playful Art Character Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porsche-labubu-project.md)
