BROADVIEW, IL (3/3/05) -- The Blaupunkt sponsored Acurabot showcar will be on display in Los Angeles this weekend at Vision Entertainment's Hot Import Nights show, kicking off a ten-month, sixteen city tour of the US and Canada. This Transformer-themed, highly modified 1994 Acura Integra LS was completely redesigned under the guidance of owner Tajai Das in the seven weeks prior to its unveiling at the 2005 CES in January. The vehicle showcases Blaupunkt's newest generation of audio and video products, including 28 video monitors and a full complement of the company's Velocity series of amplifiers, subwoofers, and speakers, plus a wide array of aftermarket performance accessories.

"The Acurabot is the most fully realized car we've sponsored to date," said Blaupunkt Marketing Manager George R. Velez. "The Transformer theme is executed so well, and fits so perfectly with the whole concept of showcars, that it can't help but impress enthusiasts. From the hand-airbrushed exterior and the motorized Optimus Prime in the trunk to the incredible assault of audio and video gear, this car gets a response from every person that sees it."

The Acurabot will be on display at Blaupunkt booths in fifteen HIN shows across the US from now until December, and will also appear at the ImportFest show in its native Canada in September. For a complete tour schedule, please visit www.blaupunktusa.com.
