The ultimate driving machine has become the ultimate performance bonus.
BMW has delivered a fleet of i8 supercars to Leicester City players following victory in the English Premier League last season.
Some 19 examples of the futuristic hybrid BMW i8 coupe were paid for by the team's Thai owners as a reward for securing an unlikely title for the club.
The cars cost £105,000 ($180,700) each, or just under $3.5 million for the lot. We're not sure if BMW offers a buy-19-get-one-free on its flagship sports car.
Leicester football stars including Jamie Vardy, Kasper Schmeichel and Danny Drinkwater received matching electric blue examples of the brand's carbon-fibre supercar.
While the Foxes' new rides are believed to be a gift to players, several other top soccer clubs offer cars as part of their arrangements with players. Audi is in league with the likes of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, while Chevrolet sponsors Manchester United... though players for the latter often choose to drive something else.
