Being a team of about 70 students, KA-RaceIng builds two cars every year: one with an electric drivetrain and one with a combustion engine.
For the current anniversary season 2016 – ten years KA-RaceIng – we designed, built and tested KIT16e and KIT16c. KIT16c will be our 10th combustion car, the KIT16e our 7th electric car and both combine the best of new ideas and tested concepts of the last years.
KIT16e combines a very low centre of gravity with a lightweight design and convinces by a high down force aero package.
