The car

An electric formula car built by students

The vehicle is in its design phase. Manufacturing begins in September 2026 and proceeds directly into validation, testing and competition.

What sets it apart

Four decisions that define this car

None of this was bought assembled

The frame, the bodywork, the wiring harness and the accumulator assembly are designed and built in-house. Buying a finished solution is faster; building it is the reason the team exists.

Two years in a single decision

The design entering competition represents two years of iteration. It is not the most ambitious car the team drew: it is the one this team can manufacture, validate and take to the starting line.

The rulebook comes first

Each subsystem begins by translating the FSAE EV regulations into pass-or-fail requirements. A remarkable car that fails technical inspection never completes a single lap.

Defended, not advertised

Engineering decisions are argued before the judges of the Design Event, supported by analysis and test data. That is why this site shows the car and not its specification sheet.

Summary

Type	Single-seat, rear-wheel-drive electric formula car
Propulsion	Electric motor and high-voltage accumulator, assembled by the team
Construction	Steel tubular frame and carbon fibre bodywork, built on campus
Competition	Formula SAE Electric · Mexico 2026 · Michigan 2027

Engineering detail — materials, analysis, electrical architecture and vehicle setup — is presented to the judges of the Design Event rather than published ahead of competition.
