For many people, the most enjoyable part of driving a high-end sports car can be that rumble coming from the exhaust pipes as you wind the engine up to its shrieking-point. But, there are also times when you’d like to just sit in the car and listen to your favorite album on your way to your destination. Because of that, for new 2010 Panamera was created with a unique high-end sound system by the renowned German audio company Burmester and teamed up with Porsche.
The name of Burmester sounds familiar, it is because the company worked on a sound system for the horribly expensive Bugatti Veyron 16.4. The Veyron, coincidentally, is the only other car the company has been inspired to create an audio system for. With the 16- speakers, the set-up for the Porsche Panamera promises to be every bit as exciting.
In the custom system, each speaker has its own separate amplifier, which can range from just 25 watts for the tweeter to a 300 watt subwoofer in the trunk. Also, there is an air-motion tweeter in the dashboard, and each amplifier is analog rather than digital for ultimate sound quality.
And for the result, it is a sound experience second to none – and considering that it took the Burmester team around five years of tinkering around in a Cayenne to hone the art of in-car audio, the effort seems to have paid off with Porsche endorsing the technology after a demonstration from the company’s engineers.
However, customers will be paying a pretty penny, with Burmester asking close to €5,000 ($7,000) for the basic system. If that sounds expensive, it might be worth considering that Burmester’s audio systems for the home can stretch into the €100,000 range ($141,000).
