Electronics

  • Accumulator: total capacity of 6.9 kWh, 596 V maximum voltage, 284 lithium-polymer cells in a 142s2p connection, self-developed Accumulator Management System (AMS)
  • Power electronics: 2x Lenze-Schmidhauser double inverter 60 kW in the self-developed investment casting housing
  • Low voltage system: Modular system of self-designed circuit boards for:
    • Measured value acquisition
    • Driver interface
    • Vehicle supply
    • Vehicle dynamics control
    • Security systems
    Powered by a 600V to 24V DC/DC converter
    optional tire temperature sensors to optimize the chassis setup
  • Driving dynamics control: consisting of torque vectoring (with yaw rate control), assessment of the vehicle condition, traction control, range control and performance derating and failsafety; cycle time 2 ms

Aerodynamics

  • CFD-optimized vehicle
  • Validated with load cells / flow visualization
  • Coefficient of Lift * A: -5.95 [m^2]
  • Lift / Drag: -3.24
  • Package weight: 16 kg
  • Highlights:
    • Optimization of the monocoque shape for maximum side wing area and underbody downforce
    • Wheel covers, bargeboards and fully covered front gear to control wheel airflow and reduce steering angle sensitivity
    • Front wing and connection optimized for cross flow
