If you're still rushing around to find a Christmas present for someone who loves cars, MotorTrend has come up with a list of perfect gifts that will be sitting pretty under the tree by Saturday morning.

Cheeky and fun, the Ionic Clean Home Car Wash system is a great tool for drivers who hate actually going to the car wash. It has a double-use too! Window-washing is easy with the 20-foot hose and spray brush that comes with it.

Lamp-In-A-Box might be a goofy company name but there's nothing silly about these awesome light fixtures. The lamps come with shades printed with work from some of the best car photographers or you can upload your own graphic. Perfect for the office or bed side table.

For fans of Porsche, the holy grail is "The Porsche Book: The Complete History of Types and Models." Filled with descriptions for each model and the upgrades its received, this gift hasn't been published in English for nearly 25 years until now with this update edition.

Skullyboom is the perfect gift for someone on a budget. Music lovers will love this amplified speaker which plugs into a phone or iPod and lasts up to four hours. Combine it with the Black and Decker iMobile charger and they'll never have to worry about battery power again!

Kids who are just budding car fanatics will enjoy a Tomica Die-Cast toy car and playset which lets them built roads, railways and even an urban center.
