world’s smallest record player (but…)

For those of you who still have a stack of 33 vinyl ablums sitting around, but no longer have a turntable, I bring you Vinyl Killer….
Japanese company Razy-Works is selling this pint-sized VW bus that contains a needle, amplifier and speaker. The tiny bus has the precise turning radius and speed required to play a 33RPM record.
Prices range from 7,800yen ($67 USD) to 8,200yen ($70 USD) for the plastic and metallic versions, while a super-deluxe Swarovski crystal-encrusted version is available for 58,000yen ($500 USD).
I wonder if it leaves tire tracks?

Precise turning radius? The radius changes with every rotation. Speed? Every lap has a different length. That means that both the speed and turning radius are not constants.
I have doubts that this would perform as advertised.
Don’t you think the bus can change his own speed with time passing?
They just need to put in a timer wich reset when you start the engine…
Think, maan, think!
Record playing speed on the turntable is constant, so is the bus!
I’m so skeptic about it though I can say is that it is a portable vinyl player hehehe.
