A brand-new supercar with 1,500 horsepower, a $2.6 million price tag, two tons of carbon fiber, aluminum, titanium, glass, and leather, among other distinctive features, is called the Bugatti Chiron.

Additionally, it boasts diamond-encrusted speaker tweeters. Each of the car’s four tweeters contains a one-carat diamond membrane for what is purportedly unsurpassed precision and aural fidelity. The benefits of using diamond as a material for high-frequency sound reproduction are well-explained by Accuton, the company that Bugatti chose to supply these incredibly uncommon speakers.

Businesses have started experimenting with either rare materials or whole new technologies, like planar magnetic headphones, because conventional loudspeaker cones deform when subjected to extreme stress. But diamonds? When these tweeters were created, what alternatives, such as kryptonite and unobtainium, were taken into consideration?

These strange speakers, which were unveiled in a 20-page press release on Bugatti’s Veyron replacement, must be the biggest surprise.

Accuton was developed as a result of research conducted by the Fraunhofer Institute on the acoustic advantages of diamonds. According to the research’s conclusions, “membranes made of CVD diamond enable audio frequencies of up to 100kHz to be transmitted, values that are not achievable with any other material.”

Although the human hearing range ends at 20 kHz, diamonds seem to have the desired qualities for better sound reproduction. The lavish choice might therefore actually be in line with Bugatti’s maxim “form follows performance.”
