Thread: Lamborghini LP670 SV Carbon Fiber Hood + BIG SOUND

Al & Ed’s Autosound in West Hollywood, CA was once again for the 4th year in a row to chosen to build the CES show car for Kenwood North America.
The Consumer Electronics Show held once a year in Las Vegas is as big as it gets. Actually it’s HUGE! This is the largest trade show to come to Las Vegas and electronics manufacturers and industry dealers from around the world attend. Each year over 150,000 people come to Sin City for the show.

Kenwood Electronics is not only an innovator but also an leader in mobile multi media, car audio, navigation and iPod integration. It is truly an honor for us to work with them and display our talents to the world at CES.

Since Kenwood is the factory OEM radio in all Lamborghini Murcielago cars it was our goal to provide Kenwood with the best Lamborghini for their booth. The Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV is the fastest production Lamborghini to leave the factory in Sant’Agata, Italy . Since only 350 of these Bulls were made this is a very rare super car.

Our inspiration of how to design and build this car truly came from the car itself. Inspired by all the carbon fiber and orange/black colors we decided to continue that theme throughout our build. Starting with the factory stereo which was a Kenwood radio to begin with we upgraded it to their current top of the line model DNX-9960. This radio offer the driver the finest iPod, Ipod Video, navigation and audio controls. It integrated perfectly with the factory installed rear view camera.

The factory component 6.5″ speakers were replaced with Kenwood eXcelon KFC-X1720P high performance speakers. Made with carbon fiber these speakers can handle up to 300 watts of power. The speaker grille rings were painted in Lamborghini pearl orange to match the exterior paint.

Behind the passenger seat we fabricated an enclosure for the Kenwood eXcelon KFC-XW1200F shallow subwoofer. This subwoofer is made of carbon fiber and can handle up to 1,400 watts of power. The enclosure was wrapped in Alcantara suede and carbon fiber to compliment the interior design by Lamborghini. An orange ring around the subwoofer matched the design of the front speakers.

In order to properly display this beautiful car and show off the Kenwood eXcelon amplifiers we fabricated a new front hood. Wrapped in matte carbon fiber to match the engine bay cover the plexi-glass insert allows you to see the equipment while the car poses for pictures without the hood having to be open. Two eXcelon amplifiers totaling over 1,000 watts of power are prominently displayed in the front bonnet. Alcantara suede, carbon fiber and orange trim completed the theme of the car. Inspired by the aircraft theme in the seats 324 individual orange LED lights were installed in the front bonnet.

So much work was put in to this car and I saw it all over the internet during the show.Great Job Elie and team!

Now this is what I call an audio set-up! I definitely know where I'll be going for my sound setup.

I may have to stop by someday at the West Hollywood location.

Don't really like the front bonnet ... but then again i am conservative.

It's not meant to be driven critics. It looks great, awesome showcar... Kenwood should be proud!!
