-

To push an obvious point home, Porsche is rather good at designing sportscars. Turns out that the nonautomot­ive offshoot Porsche Design is also rather good at designing0 . . . well, things that aren’t cars. Such as this 911 GT3salutin­g Bluetooth speaker we’ve been salivating over in the Good Oil offices. The 60W speaker is designed to look like the exhaust pipe assembly of a 911 GT3, which doesn’t strike us as the most visually stimulatin­g bit of a Porsche 911 to replicate THE 60W SPEAKER IS DESIGNED TO LOOK LIKE THE EXHAUST PIPE ASSEMBLY OF A 911 GT3, WHICH DOESN’T STRIKE US AS THE MOST VISUALLY STIMULATIN­G BIT OF A PORSCHE 911 TO REPLICATE AS ART. as art. Shows what we know though; it’s a seriously simplistic­yet- stylish piece.

It isn’t even the first time Porsche Design has dabbled in hi- fidelity: they’ve produced a soundbar in the past. We hope high- end 911 Turbo- inspired headphones are on the way to go with this audio awesomenes­s.
