iXoost is an Italian company that makes some of the most gorgeous speakers and sound systems we’ve ever seen. Based in Modena, the capital of engines, the designers behind iXoost do their hometown justice by using Formula 1 exhausts to make their elaborate creations. The latest release, Xilo 5.1, uses a monocoque chassis in aluminum and wood with hand-shaped exhausts for the “ultimate expression of Made in Modena craftsmanship.” Hook your audio device up with Bluetooth or an aux cable to play your music (or use the app to play car / aircraft engine noises) through the five separate speakers and down-firing subwoofer. It’s the perfect gift for the racing fan that has everything.
