(October 11, 2023) Bowers & Wilkins and McLaren Automotive have reinvigorated their collaborative partnership to celebrate McLaren's 60th anniversary. The result is a new spin on B&W's Zeppelin speaker, giving music fans the "Zeppelin McLaren Edition."
This specially designed version of its Zeppelin wireless speaker features a refined Galvanic Grey finish and subtle Papaya Orange highlights inspired by McLaren Automotive’s design approach. First launched as an iPod dock in 2007, the speaker re-emerged two years ago with a complete reboot as a stereo system and streamer all-in-one component. It features reference-quality drive unit technologies arranged in dedicated left and right speaker assemblies around a central, large subwoofer, all powered by 240W of amplification.
Coinciding with the launch of the new Zeppelin McLaren Edition, Bowers & Wilkins has introduced wireless multi-room capability. The new model, along with all compatible Zeppelins, can offer extended multi-room compatibility with both the Panorama 3 and the Formation portfolio of wireless speakers. This allows B&W users to connect and configure their in-home wireless speaker system seamlessly, all set up and controlled via the B&Ws Music app for ultimate convenience.
To add a bit of spice to the latest version of Zeppelin, B&W is also announcing a 60-piece limited-production version of the Zeppelin created to celebrate the 60th anniversary of McLaren and Bruce McLaren’s legacy. This version features racing livery-inspired colors, including a vibrant orange finish, giving the Zeppelin’s instantly recognizable silhouette an even more distinctive aesthetic, while a Speedy Kiwi on the rear of the product pays homage to Bruce McLaren’s pioneering vision. The sixty limited-edition models are available exclusively from select McLaren dealerships worldwide.
The Zeppelin McLaren Edition is available October 11th from the Bowers & Wilkins website and selected retailers at $899, while the limited-edition 60th Anniversary model is available from select McLaren dealerships.
