The car

Final Model

The car we are taking to competition: what it is made of, how it was designed and why it looks the way it does.

The final design

The final model is the result of every prototype that came before it. Each revision was measured against the one before, and the changes that survived are the ones that made the car quicker, lighter or easier to manufacture.

Describe the shape here: the body profile, the rear section, the wheel layout and the finish. Say which features were driven by the rule book and which were driven by the team's own testing.

This page is a placeholder. Replace it with the real design story, and add a photograph of the finished car in the space below.

Design decisions

  • Aerodynamics

    What the team changed on the body to manage airflow, and what testing showed afterwards.

  • Weight

    Where mass came out of the car, and what had to stay to keep the structure stiff enough.

  • Manufacturing

    The trade-offs between a shape that is fastest on paper and one that can be made accurately.
