At Heinz Performance, we're thrilled to share the story of one of our most exclusive projects: a custom exhaust system for POG's iconic Bugatti Veyron. This venture, a collaboration with Kline Innovation, epitomises our commitment to pushing the boundaries of automotive performance and aesthetics.
A unique challenge
The Bugatti Veyron, a symbol of automotive excellence, presents a unique challenge for customisation. The model in question is the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse, a car known for its record-breaking speed and unparalleled engineering. Despite its iconic status, POG, a passionate car enthusiast, believed that even a Veyron could be personalised to reflect its owner's unique taste and style.
Engineered with Inconel
Heinz Performance took on this challenge with enthusiasm. Our focus was on enhancing the Veyron's auditory experience without compromising its legendary performance. We worked alongside Kline Innovation to create a custom exhaust system made of Inconel - a super lightweight yet incredibly durable material, commonly used in Formula 1 and aerospace engineering. This bespoke design not only reduced the weight of the exhaust system but also significantly enhanced the car's acoustic profile.
Unleashing the W16's voice
One of the primary goals was to bring the Veyron's engine sound to the forefront. The standard Veyron, while powerful, is often dominated by the sound of its turbos. Our custom exhaust system shifts this balance, allowing the majestic roar of the 16-cylinder engine to shine through, complemented by the distinctive turbo whistle. This harmonious blend of sounds transforms the driving experience, adding an auditory depth that matches the car's physical prowess.
Precision installation
The installation process was meticulous, with each component designed to fit perfectly into the Veyron's existing setup. This precision engineering ensures that the car's performance remains uncompromised, while its new voice is unleashed. The final product is lighter than the original, weighing in at only 5 kg compared to the 18 kg of the standard exhaust, thanks to the use of Inconel.
Personal expression
This project was not just about enhancing performance but also about personal expression. POG's vision for a car that reflects his personality and passion for driving aligns perfectly with our philosophy at Heinz Performance. We believe that every car, no matter how iconic, can be a canvas for personalisation - a philosophy we were excited to apply to one of the world's most exclusive vehicles.
The result is a Bugatti Veyron that retains all its original glory and performance credentials while gaining a new, more expressive and distinctive voice. It's a testament to Heinz Performance's dedication to innovation, craftsmanship and the art of automotive customisation.
