A limited edition with only 500 units sold worldwide turned an obsolete car component into a speaker.

911 Soundbar 2.0 Pro Ltd is the new limited edition soundbar by Porsche Design. Made in Germany, this soundbar stands out from the alternatives already available on the market due to its highly unique design featuring the original Porsche 992 GT3 exhaust system made of stainless steel, which in this case acts as an extension of the subwoofer. Performance-wise, the virtual surround sound system features 300 watts of system power with Dolby Atmos streaming and supports wireless playback via Bluetooth 5.0 or wired playback via HDMI ports

As an explicit homage to the design of the car, the soundbar risks becoming almost a parody of it. Starting with the weight, around 65 kg, which does not, however, prevent you from hanging it on the wall. It can also be placed on the base provided and, thanks to the rear silencer that alternates shiny and matt black parts as well as the exhaust pipe cladding, it effortlessly matches any type of interior. It can already be pre-ordered for EUR 8,990, and according to the manufacturer’s announcement, the 911 Soundbar 2.0 Pro Ltd will arrive on 20 December, but stocks will not be unlimited: in fact, only 500 numbered units will be sold. All things considered, maybe it is for the best.
