Buyers of the Technics Lamborghini deck will also get an exclusive vinyl album featuring the engine and driving sounds of six different Lamborghini V12-engine super sports cars, recorded for the collaboration.

The vinyl picture disc features an illustration of a tire from the Lamborghini Revuelto, so owners can watch the wheel spin as the engine sounds roar.

Lamborghini’s recorded for this project  are the  400GT 2+2, Miura SV,  25th Anniversary Countach, Diablo 6.0 SE, Murciélago LP 640 and Revuelto.

Technics says that while the two brands serve completely different markets, over their 60-year history, both share similar values when it comes to providing customers with unforgettable experiences. Worldwide sales begin in July 2024. 

The Lamborghini Revuelto is the first super sports V12 hybrid plug-in HPEV (High Performance Electrified Vehicle) from the marque. It combines innovative design and a new carbon frame concept, driven by a new 12-cylinder engine with hybrid technology.
