Editorial groupings that cut across brand and era.

Themes are the editorial layer over the brand-and-category taxonomy. They exist because some interesting groupings don't sort cleanly any other way — the 2024 F1 grid contains ten brands; the Fast & Furious cars contain four brands and two eras; the limited-edition hypercar club contains every brand willing to build under 1,000 cars at a time. None of those groupings would surface from brand or category alone, but each one is the question a real visitor types into a search bar.

The largest themes track the line's centre of editorial gravity — Limited-Edition Hypercars (16), 2024 F1 Grid (12), Motorsport-Derived Road Cars (12). Below them sit the more-specific groupings: classic icons (the historic shapes everyone recognises), JDM icons, track-only cars, naturally-aspirated V12s. The smaller themes are deliberately narrow — pit stops, theme launches, multipacks — and exist because someone, somewhere, will search for exactly that.

Most sets carry more than one theme. The McLaren Senna is a hypercar, a track-only car, a limited-edition, and motorsport-derived. The 2 Fast 2 Furious R34 is a JDM icon, a film vehicle, and Fast & Furious. The themes overlap on purpose — they're how the same car becomes findable from many different starting points.
