How a pixel cat jumped off screens and onto supercars—deadmau5’s Nyan‑themed Ferrari 458 and Lamborghini Huracán.

Context: In 2014, deadmau5 wrapped a Ferrari 458 for the Gumball 3000 rally—the internet nicknamed it the Purrari. Coverage at the time also noted legal friction with Ferrari; the car was later listed for sale. He then brought the meme to a Lamborghini Huracán—the Nyanborghini Purracan—with custom badges and bright pink calipers. (Linked sources below.)
