Since 2015, Bowers & Wilkins has been engineering the soundscapes of McLaren cars. Now, to honor this partnership, they introduce the Zeppelin McLaren wireless speaker.

Its design, reminiscent of its namesake airship and perhaps a football in its Papaya Orange attire, isn't merely aesthetic. This unique shape houses "reference quality drive unit technologies" within distinct left and right speaker chambers. A central subwoofer ensures an encompassing audio experience.

The McLaren Edition of the Zeppelin is draped in either Papaya Orange or Galvanic Grey, hues reminiscent of McLaren's iconic racing machines. The rear showcases a 'Speedy Kiwi' emblem, nodding to Bruce McLaren, the visionary behind the brand.

Dan Shepherd, Bowers & Wilkins' VP of Licensing and Partnerships, expressed his excitement over this fresh addition to their collaborative offerings with McLaren Automotive.
