Great Scott! Cambridge Audio Reveals DeLorean Alpha5 Partnership

Cambridge Audio is supplying the in-car entertainment for the new DeLorean Alpha5 electric car concept.

Cambridge Audio x DeLorean: these two companies, each with their own distinctive and enduring heritage, are embarking on a design-led journey to bring leading audio technology and high-quality sound to the driving experience of the new Alpha5, the latest concept in the continued evolution of the DeLorean brand, which of course became legendary thanks to the exploits of Doc Brown and Marty McFly in the Back To The Future movies.

The British audio specialist is partnering with the iconic (and sometimes time-travelling) DeLorean Motor Company, Inc. to develop "thrilling in-car sound" for a new generation of electric vehicles.

The new partnership will be celebrated during Monterey Car Week, with Cambridge Audio powering the bespoke soundtrack for events occurring at the DeLorean House in Pebble Beach. Here, guests can experience superb sound courtesy of the latest Cambridge Audio flagship products, including Edge hi-fi separates and the Evo system.

Additionally, should you want to go back in time (without having to hit 88mph), there will also be a selection of products from Cambridge Audio's rich heritage, including the company's first-ever P40 amplifier, released in 1968.

Charlie Henderson, Marketing Director of Cambridge Audio, told StereoNET:

With over 50 years of audio experience and a passion for elevating the emotion of music, there are many synergies between our two brands, especially our shared dynamic and occasionally rebellious attitude. Between us, we have a combined history of almost 100 years, but we don't let the past define us: always experimenting, innovating and creating new ways to enhance your experiences – inspiring a range of emotions in a car that is set to become an instant icon.

Troy Beetz, Chief Marketing Officer, DeLorean Motor Company, Inc, adds:

Cambridge Audio has spent over five decades creating exceptional sound by developing world-class audio. It's through their passion, craftsmanship and innovation that they continue to lead the industry in hi-fi products and technology. Our partnership brings together two pioneering companies to make one singular experience for drivers.

The Alpha5 concept is an all-electric, 2+2 vehicle that maintains its predecessors' signature gullwing doors, classic rear louvres and three-layered taillights. However, the Alpha5 hits a claimed 60mph in 2.99 seconds and boasts a projected top speed of 155 mph.

The all-wheel-drive vehicle promises an exceptional driving experience with multi-mode adaptive suspension, dynamic handling and an estimated 300-mile range from a full tank of sparks.

The global reveal of the Alpha5 will be on Thursday, August 18th, at the Pebble Beach Awards Ramp.

applause awards

Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.

Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.

The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.

We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
