The team of 20 students achieved this feat with their self built electric racing car on a race track at the Bosch site in Renningen in the district of Boblingen in Baden-Wurttemberg.
The students had been preparing for almost a year. The carbon racing car has the following features:
- Weight: just under 145Kg
- Maximum power output: 180 kW
- Four wheel drive with motors developed at the university
- New high voltage battery
- Power: 1750 hp per ton
- Peak acceleration of 2.5g (almost equal to the force experienced by the astronauts when a rocket re-enters the Earth’s atmosphere)
