Porsche Turns 911 GT3 Exhaust into €2,900 Soundbar
Porsche Design has converted a real 911 GT3 exhaust silencer into a limited-edition 2.1 soundbar, offering 200 watts of power and a price tag of €2,900.
Porsche Design has launched a soundbar built from the genuine rear silencer and twin exhaust of the Porsche 911 GT3, blending motorsport hardware with high-end audio. The 911 Soundbar, priced at €2,900, is aimed at buyers who want their living room to echo the spirit of Stuttgart’s most famous flat-six.
The centrepiece of the soundbar is not a replica but an actual GT3 exhaust, repurposed to house a 2.1 channel audio system. The result is a 19kg unit measuring 74cm wide, 28cm tall and 32cm deep, with the unmistakable look of a motorsport silencer. Porsche Design’s approach fits with its tradition of adapting engineering from its cars into luxury consumer products, but this is one of its most literal conversions yet.
Audio features and connectivity
The 911 Soundbar offers 200 watts of output, Dolby Digital and DTS TruSurround processing, and a range of connection options. Owners can stream music wirelessly via Bluetooth or connect using analogue, optical or coaxial inputs. A remote control is included, and system status is shown on a central display. The soundbar is designed to function as a home audio centrepiece as much as a conversation starter.

Limited availability and collector appeal
Production numbers for the 911 Soundbar are very low, with reports suggesting only a handful were made and just one example in Central Europe. This exclusivity, combined with the use of genuine GT3 hardware, has driven demand among Porsche enthusiasts and collectors. Early buyers were told to expect delivery from March 2016, and the rarity has seen resale prices climb, with used examples reportedly fetching up to €6,000.
Where it fits in Porsche Design’s portfolio
Porsche Design is known for adapting automotive engineering into luxury consumer goods, from watches to luggage. The 911 Soundbar follows limited-edition items like the P'3135 fountain pen, which cost over $27,000. While the soundbar’s €2,900 price is steep for an audio product, it is in line with other Porsche Design collectables aimed at brand devotees. For those who missed the original run, the rarity of the soundbar means it now appears only on the secondary market, often at a premium.
