Crafted from the exhaust pipe of a Porsche 911 GT3, the Porsche speaker is priced at $3,160. Although one would be uncertain how the speaker system would perform given that it is crafted from an exhaust pipe, the Porsche speaker offers impressive capabilities regardless. Packed with a Dolby digital decoder, 2.1 virtual surround system and Bluetooth, the Porsche Soundbar Speaker is both an elegant piece to pay homage to the brand and an accessory for listening to a variety of music genres. Ideal for car enthusiasts, the Porsche speaker is the next-generation of vehicular branding that literally transforms parts into pieces of artwork. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Lifestyle Branding:** There is a trend towards lifestyle branding in the automotive industry, with car brands producing products that cater to the lifestyles of their customers. - **Upcycling Products:** Upcycling automobile parts into high-end consumer goods is a trend gaining acceptance in the manufacturing sector. - **Bluetooth Audio:** Wireless Bluetooth audio technology is a growing trend in the audio industry and is being coupled with luxury products for added value. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Automotive:** The automotive industry has an opportunity to expand its branding efforts through producing upcycled products. - **Audio:** The audio industry has an opportunity to integrate wireless Bluetooth audio technology into high-end products. - **Manufacturing:** The manufacturing industry has an opportunity to create unique high-end products through upcycling unusual sources such as car exhaust pipes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxury Car Brand Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porsche-design-911.md) - [16-Driver Luxury Soundbars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pdb90.md) - [Supercar-Inspired Sound Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/esavox.md) - [Wireless Miniature Outdoor Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pds20.md) - [Bespoke Car-Matching Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesamg-gt-x-ixoost-speaker.md) - [Aluminum Automotive Design Earbuds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/porsche-design-pdt60-tws-earphones.md) - [Collaboration Auto Brand Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bowers-wilkins-zeppelin-mclaren-edition-speaker.md) - [Extravagant Home Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xcs15k-center-channel-loudspeaker.md) - [Fashion-Driven Audiophile Speakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piega-premium-801.md)
