Bang & Olufsen Sound System Makes A5/S5 Even Hotter

— December 26, 2008 — Autos
Bang & Olufsen have invented a speaker system designed specifically for convertible top cars, a tid-bit of info that leaves me stunned that it's never been created before.

Close yourself and imagine being seated in a sexy, supercar ragtop, the wind weaving itself through your mane... is the music not playing (very loudly) every time you envision one of these fantasy scenes? You'd think if you were shelling out for a wicked luxury car, that the megalithic price tag would have included a sick sound system too.

Fortunately, Bang & Olufsen are making sure that in the future, every convertible driver can enjoy the sounds of an amazing stereo. The Bang & Olufsen Sound System comes as an option for hot new luxury rides like the Audi A5/S5 Cabriolet. Even more awesome is that the speakers can be set up to ensure each passengers enjoy optimal listening through a customization feature.
