As its supercars become increasingly digitised Lamborghini has released the ultimate analogue experience: an LP record of the most spectacular-sounding V12s in its history.
The special 12-inch picture-disc carries an image of the wheel and tire of a Revuelto, and etched into the vinyl surface are the sounds of the 400GT 2+2, Miura SV, 25th Anniversary Countach, Diablo 6.0 SE, Murciélago LP640, and Revuelto. The playlist includes engine start up and revving plus recordings of these incredible cars being driven at speed on a circuit.
As you’d expect from Lamborghini the album is an exclusive offering and the only way to get hold of a copy is to purchase a new Technics turntable designed in collaboration with the Ranging Bull brand.
The Technics for Automobili Lamborghini SL-1200M7B Direct Drive Turntable System is based on an existing high-end model, but the design includes elements of Lamborghini’s Y-shape pattern, while the orange, green and yellow colours are legendary Lambo hues.
Audiophiles will appreciate the turntable’s coreless direct drive motor, two-layer platter, and rigid cabinet designed to minimise vibration, and the high sensitive S-shaped tonearm for reduced stylus jumping. It even has a kind of traction control system, with starting torque and brake speed adjustment, and a pitch control system for ultimate tracking performance.
If you can’t get hold of one of these limited edition discs then, like all great albums, there’s sure to be a bootleg version.
