Lamborghini has released a £19,000 speaker system with an exhaust system, shock absorbers, and a carbon fiber chassis.

The car firm says the EsaVox has been in development for two years, and features bold hexagonal speakers, four exhaust pipes, and a chunky Lamborghini logo stuck to the front of it.

600 watts are spread out amongst the 6 1/2-inch full-range; and eight-inch carbon woofers housed within the two handmade hexagonal side cabinets

Dual one-inch tweeters are hidden inside two of the exhaust pipes, while an additional 200 watts is used to power the 15-inch subwoofer at the heart of the speakers.

A Lamborghini spokesman said: "The central element is the original exhaust, which puts all elements into proportion, giving the impression of a real car."

It's not the first car maker to try its hand at the highly competititve audio market - if the price tag of Lamborghini's new gadget is too much for you then you may wish to consider Porsche's 911 soundbar.

It costs £2,400 and is made from an original rear silencer and twin exhaust from the iconic car.

It seems that even furniture designers are taking their cues from car makers.

A firm called Resident in New Zealand is producing unique lighting and furniture products made from carbon fibre, a material popular with car makers.

The material is woven which means it has strength, but not weight.
