Apollo Automobil has unveiled an exhaust system manufactured using selective laser sintering technology that mimics the texture of dragon skin. These metal parts, designed for their hypercars, aim to improve thermal dissipation and optimize gas flow through geometric shapes that would be impossible to achieve with traditional methods. The result is a lighter and more functional component.
SLS and geometric freedom for thermal management 🔥
The SLS process allows for the creation of complex internal structures that act as cooling fins, eliminating the need for welds and reducing weak points. Each scale is designed to channel heat more efficiently, preventing deformations and maintaining material integrity at high temperatures. Additionally, the weight reduction contributes to the vehicle's overall performance, while the shape of the tube modifies the exhaust sound frequency, generating a deeper and more aggressive roar that reinforces the brand's identity.
Now your car roars like a mythological reptile 🐉
Of course, having an exhaust that looks like a giant lizard won't give you the power to spit fire, but at least your neighbor will think you've tamed a beast from Lord of the Rings. Apollo assures that the sound is wilder than that of a conventional V12 engine, which is perfect for when you want to arrive at the supermarket with the same roar as a dragon guarding its treasure. All that's missing is for the car to blow smoke through its gills.
