The Porsche 911 has long been held as one of the best-handling everyday drivers' cars, but some might feel it still needs to improve in a particular area (unless you've already opted for the upgraded Burmester system, we're assuming). This is where French speaker firm Focal comes in to offer a limited edition DIY upgrade kit presented in a lovely-looking travel case.
Focal's P60 Limited Edition self-install speaker kit has been designed by the Saint-Étienne-based speaker maestros specifically for the Porsche 911 (992).
The bespoke case features an engraved aluminium plate certifying the kit number - the speaker kits are limited to, you guessed it, 911. Additionally, the kit comes with a quick start guide to help you through the installation process, which we're told is a simple case of swapping out the original speakers for the Focal units, thanks to their design. So, put away those metal nibblers, files and such. Moreover, if you've followed the instructions, the speakers should sit perfectly positioned.
The P60 speaker kit comprises two eight-inch woofers (35Hz - 500Hz) that use Focal's 'W' composite sandwich cone partnered by a trio of four-inch midrange drivers (150Hz - 2,500Hz) that use the same cone material. Finally, a pair of 42mm Beryllium inverted dome tweeters (25kHz - 40kHz) literally top off the kit. Focal tells us that the kit delivers "an unparalleled level of detail, uncoloured sound, powerful and dynamic bass, as well as an even larger soundstage".
Having experienced a Burmester system in a Porsche Taycan Turismo, it would be interesting to hear a sound-off between the stock 911 with the P60 kit up against the Bose (£1,152) and Burmester (£3,746) factory-fitted offerings.
The Focal P60 Limited Edition is available now in a limited edition of 911 and costs £3,599/ €3,599.
