IBEX

With our fifth race car, we have developed a vehicle that is capable of competing with the top 10. The most significant innovation is the use of the pouch cell battery, which has led to adjustments and improvements in all systems. By redesigning the battery format and shortening the pedals, we were able to shorten the chassis by an impressive 40 cm, resulting in considerable weight savings. In addition, the inverter was placed in front of the battery, which led to a reduction in the vehicle's centre of gravity height. The suspension system on the rear axle was also adapted due to the changed space conditions. At the front axle, the spring/damper system was extended to include a rocker and a stabiliser. Each individual component was also optimised in terms of weight, resulting in a total weight of 190 kg.
