![]() ![]() With these rankings, the teaching staff arranged the 8 groups into 4 teams – this is where the real challenge started! Having worked for 4 months as a small group, really focusing on the finer details, now it all came down to how well we could integrate our powertrain with the chassis group we had been teamed up with. Really interesting engineering challenges arose. In today’s world, where everyone needs to be a specialist in a niche subject, having a chance to look at the big picture and discussing problems like how to mount the battery modules into the chassis or how much does rake angle affect the location of the centre of gravity is extremely valuable. Our vehicle, the “Odin Engineering: OE01”, is a fully electric sportscar of 1107 kg with a two-front, one-rear motor architecture driving all four wheels at a maximum power and torque of 360 kW and 710 Nm. It features a bespoke cooling system with an air-cooled 60 kWh battery and liquid cooled motors and inverters, which dictate the upper temperature limits of the qualifying race mode. Pol, the Head of the Aerodynamics Department and Vehicle Simulation Engineer said: The car is streamlined and designed for efficiency, presenting an extremely low drag coefficient (CDA of 0.55) and a top speed of over 280 kph. “This project has been an incredible opportunity to work closely with friends and colleagues. Understanding everyone´s strengths and putting them to the best possible use was the edge that made it possible for us to come up with such a great design.
