Audi and Aston Martin add in Bang & Olufsen sound systems

Super-premium electronics manufacturer Bang & Olufsen is partnering up with super-premium automotive brands Aston Martin and Audi to bring custom sound systems to some fancy cars.  The Aston Martin Rapide (Rapide - because it’s a sports car, get it?) will pick up a Bang & Olufsen designed BeoSound system.  What distinguishes the 15 speaker, 1000 watt amp B&O system?  B&O says the system has “smoothly contoured, aluminum loudspeaker grilles that integrate seamlessly into the hand crafted interior.”  The car costs only $260,000, so it’s a nice bonus to get a decent audio system in it. 

Audi’s R8 Spyder gets a custom Bang & Olufsen sound system as well.  This system is also supposed to match the R8 Spyder in design (see picture below).  B&O says that the 12 speaker, 465 watt audio system can detect when the Spyder’s roof is closed or open and will adjust the audio to the conditions so you have a pleasant audio experience.
