The Italian masters of sound and speed have come together to create a limited edition of the Il Cremonese Ex3me – Automobili Lamborghini Edition, a premium floorstanding speaker. It is a 3.5-way “para-aperiodic” tower with a 30mm beryllium dome tweeter (DLC), a 180mm midrange, two 180mm woofers and two 220mm side-mounted nanocarbon fiber infra-woofers. Only 50 pairs are available in five Lamborghini colors, and the price is approximately €125,000 per pair.
Imagine this: in the living room, there are two statues made of carbon fiber and lacquer, reminiscent of the bodywork of an Aventador. They don't hum - they play. The Cremonese Ex3me – The Automobili Lamborghini Edition is the result of a collaboration that moved from the cockpit of a supercar (a Revuelto with built-in Sonus faber sound system) to your living room and had its world premiere at Monterey Car Week. It’s hi-fi as an event: Italian design, engineering and a hefty dose of “why not?”.
What you actually get: a technical package without diplomatic compromises
The core of the system is a 3.5-way cabinet with a so-called “full para-aperiodic vented box” design. On top sits a 30-mm tweeter made of beryllium, coated with DLC (diamond-like carbon) for greater rigidity and lower self-resonance. The midrange core is driven by a 180-mm unit with a neodymium magnet assembly, two 180-mm woofers provide air propulsion, and two 220-mm “infrawoofers” made of nanocarbon fibers rest against the side walls when the music requires an underground earthquake. The frequency divisions are set at 80, 250 and 2,500 Hz, the sensitivity is 92 dB (2.83 V/1 m), the nominal impedance is 4 Ω, and the recommended amplifier power is 100–800 W. Frequency response: 25 Hz–35 kHz.
Why this sounds so clean: Paracross Topology and “Stealth Reflex”
Sound is not just the sum of the speaker units, but also the intersections between them. The crossover uses Paracross Topology™ – a circuit designed to reduce susceptibility to radio interference and thereby lower the noise floor. The woofers operate in a separate, acoustically “amorphous” chamber with “Stealth Reflex” channels that tame airflow and reduce port blowing in deep bass. Translated from engineering: less “cabinet noise”, more micro-detail and faster transitions.
A design you'll keep looking at even when the music stops
The housing is rhomboid – a five-sided sculpture with a three-pronged goal: strength, standing wave control and visual “punch”. Above is an “open-top” view into the “engine” – the intersection of components – a nod to the transparent covers that reveal the heart of Lamborghinis. The materials? Carbon fibre, aluminium and CorsaTex® by Dinamica – tactile details that you don’t find every day in the hi-fi world.
Colors: five signatures of Sant'Agata
The edition comes in five iconic Lamborghini finishes: Giallo Countach, Arancio Egon, Blu Marinus Matte, Verde Mercurius and Nero Nemesis Matte. These are not just colors; they are an identity. It is no surprise that Sonus faber describes this series as a “collector’s piece” – exactly 50 numbered pairs have been produced, each with a certificate.
Price and availability: yes, it's a "hypercar for the ears" class
Around €125,000 or 130,000 $ per pair – that’s the official word from several independent hi-fi outlets, and the model is made to order (some report a minimum three-month lead time). 50 pairs and that’s it. If you’re thinking about a colour match for your Revuelta, contact your Lamborghini or Sonus faber dealer.

How does this fit into the broader context of the hi-fi world?
The basic Il Cremonese Ex3me is already a reference device in its own right – created as a celebration of Sonus faber’s engineering “excess”. The Automobili Lamborghini Edition adds a visual and tactile story to this: the materiality, the colors, even a “look into the engine” of the system. If you’re excited about the idea of experiencing music with a force similar to that of a V12, this is probably the most fun way to get there without a parking ticket for Pebble Beach.
Conclusion: a concert hall disguised as a hypercar
Il Cremonese Ex3me – Cars Lamborghini Edition is a credible sonic and design performance. The numbers sound impressive, but the point is in the fine mechanics: silent crossovers between units, disciplined airflow and materials chosen for sound, not just looks. So if you want Miles, Mahler or Massive Attack to hit you like full throttle on the Via Emilia, then you know what colors to dress your next pair of speakers in.
