Audi recently made a move to remove fake exhaust pipes after receiving extensive customer feedback.
Good news for car enthusiasts who appreciate a bit of automotive authenticity! Audi has announced that it will be ditching the fake exhaust pipes on its petrol, diesel and hybrid cars.This move comes after receiving a lot of customer feedback criticising the current trend of using non-functional exhaust trims moulded into the rear bumper.
An Audi spokesperson confirmed to Auto Express magazine that future cars built on the new Premium Platform Combustion architecture will boast “hot tailpipes; functional tailpipes.” This decision was directly influenced by “customer feedback,” meaning that Audi listened to its customers and responded accordingly.
In recent times, a number of Audi models, along with vehicles from other manufacturers, have been hiding their exhaust tips beneath the bumper. This trend can be attributed to several factors, including design limitations, safety concerns surrounding placing a hot metal tube in close proximity to plastic parts, and even financial and aesthetic considerations.It remains to be seen if smaller vehicles built on the MQB platform will follow suit.
