How to rotate marker in rails using gmaps4rails?

I have set car as a marker and want to rotate it. Is there any way to rotate it in the defined code. If not, what other options do I have?

handler = Gmaps.build('Google');
handler.buildMap({
    provider: {},
    internal: {
        id: "map"
    }
}, function() {
    marker = handler.addMarkers([{
        lat: lat,
        lng: lng,
        "picture": {
            "url": "/assets/car.png",
            "width": 17,
            "height": 38
        }
    }]);
});

I have used the solution from this answer. It uses the canvas to rotate the image. See the jsfiddle link for live example at the end of the answer.

Look at this question:

How to rotate a marker in Google Maps?

path takes an SVG-element I'd say thats how they manage to rotate it. If you create your custom marker using SVG it can be done quite easily using 

transform="rotate(deg centerX centerY").
