High-powered Sound
The Sunday Age

Cracking new sound barriers, Formula One TAG McLaren engineers have turned their attention from Mika Hakkinen's work car to high-end audio. The result? The Aphrodite: a remote controlled CD player, AM/FM tuner, alarm clock and 50-watt-per-channel amplifier. It's made of advanced composite materials and aerospace-grade aluminium. Its operating software can be updated from TAG McLaren's website via a PC. The Aphrodite needs speakers, and TAG McLaren recommends the alloy/composite Calliopes. Both units come in metallic paint jobs in a range of colors. The combo in the picture costs $11,999. The only thing: where are the paddles for changing gears?
