Porsche Design"911 Soundbar" sold by. This is one of the products called Porsche Drivers Selection Masterpiece.

What is Porsche Drivers Selection Masterpiece?, It seems that it refers to products created by nice design using actual Porsche car parts ^ ^

The first 911 soundbar will be released in 2016

This "911 Soundbar" is a speaker (sound system) that uses the main silencer and tail pipe of the Porsche 911 GT3, which was first released in 2016 (February 2017 in Japan).

This first version is a 2.1 channel virtual surround system. The price in the United States is 3,500 dollars (about 370,000 yen).

In 2017, a smaller Bluetooth speaker will be introduced

In addition, after the launch of the first 911 Soundbar, in 2017, a slightly smaller Bluetooth speaker was launched.

Here is it. The GT3 that appears in the product photo has also changed to the late 991 model! ↓

This smaller speaker is also a speaker made using the tail pipe cover of the actual Porsche 911 GT3. The US price is 559 dollars (about 63,000 yen).

Limited edition of 911 Soundbar Limited Edition (all black) in 2018

Then, in 2018, we announced the all-black version of the 911 Soundbar.

This Black 911 Soundbar is a limited edition product that sells only 911. Entering the serial number.

Of course, the material consists of the same rear silencer and tail pipe as the actual Porsche 911 GT3.

It seems that the specifications of 2.1 Virtual Surround System, DTS TruSurround Virtualizer, and Bluetooth 3.0 are the same as the previous one, but from this black version, the notation of Dolby Digital Decoder has also been added.

This black version costs $ 4,250 in the United States.

911 Soundbar 2020, special edition limited to 500 pieces

Well, and in 2020.

This 911 sound bar was actually undergoing minor changes (?) Every year from 2016 to 2017 to 2018. This time, two years later, another new product was announced.

That is "911 Soundbar Special Edition". … Well, it didn't get that new name (laughs).

Well, anyway, again the limited edition 911 soundbar.

This Limited Edition has the same serial number as the previous Limited Edition, and it is said that only 500 pieces will be sold. The US price is $ 4,750 (about 500,000 yen).

The 2020 version of the Limited Edition 911 Soundbar is even more powerful than ever, at 300 watts (previously 200 watts).

In addition, 4K compatible HDMI input, Spotify and Chromecast support, multiple speakers can play songs at the same time, and many functions have been enhanced.

It seems that Dolby Atmos is also supported from this special edition, and of course it is useless if you do not play the source mastered by Atmos in order to use this function, but you can play the movie as a home theater The Dolby Atmos sound is also a gem for those who have something to do.

The base of the design is white, and the muffler unit is painted in gloss black.

It seems that it will be available online with some authorized dealers, but will some come to Japan in the future?

It seems that it is already on sale in Germany, and it will be on sale in the United States from December 2020.

It's limited to 500 pieces, so if you want it, it's better to check it before it goes on sale in Japan ^^
