porsche design developed the ‘911 soundbar’ for people whom sound of a high-performance sports car is not enough. the studio outfitted a 2.1 virtual surround system with a subwoofer into an used original rear silencer twin exhaust from a porsche ‘911 GT3’. the speaker outputs 200 watts using DTS trusurround, and utilizes bluetooth connectivity for wireless audio transmission from a tablet, smartphone or desktop computer.
