After several months of initial research and design cycles, we are proud to show the result of our efforts. The kart is developed to maximize performance in the Formula Zero championship, and is pure blooded racing vehicle with no compromise. The layout of subsystems is optimized to achieve the most favorable mass distribution. The powertrain consists of two electric motors with an innovative control system that includes electronic differential, regenerative braking and much more intelligent (top secret!) features.
