The car
Built to fly.
Every curve on this car earns its place. It's modelled in CAD, tested in CFD and refined by the team panel by panel, all in pursuit of one number: 20 metres in under 1.1 seconds.
The design
Form,
function,
CO2
This car is powered by a single CO2 canister and has to cover the 20 metre track faster than anything else in the field. That means every gram and every millimetre of surface area matters.
We start in CAD, shaping the bodywork around the wheelbase and canister constraints set by the competition rules. From there, every iteration is run through Computational Fluid Dynamics so we can see how air moves over, under and around the car before a single cut is made.
The renders on this page are pulled straight from that design process — the same files our team uses to check panel gaps, downforce and drag from every angle.
