Super-premium electronics manufacturer Bang & Olufsen is partnering up with super-premium automotive brands Aston Martin and Audi to bring custom sound systems to some fancy cars. The Aston Martin Rapide (Rapide – because it’s a sports car, get it?) will pick up a Bang & Olufsen designed BeoSound system. What distinguishes the 15 speaker, 1000 watt amp B&O system? B&O says the system has “smoothly contoured, aluminum loudspeaker grilles that integrate seamlessly into the hand crafted interior.” The car costs only $260,000, so it’s a nice bonus to get a decent audio system in it.
Audi’s R8 Spyder gets a custom Bang & Olufsen sound system as well. This system is also supposed to match the R8 Spyder in design (see picture below). B&O says that the 12 speaker, 465 watt audio system can detect when the Spyder’s roof is closed or open and will adjust the audio to the conditions so you have a pleasant audio experience.
