Team Profile: –
Being a team of about 70 students, KA-RaceIng from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is organized in different subteams (e.g. Suspension, Monocoque, …) with their
own teamleaders, and is designing and building two cars with one single team every year:
one with a combustion engine and one with an electric drivetrain.
The KIT13c is our 7th combustion car, the KIT13e is our 4th electric car and
both combine the best of new ideas and validated concepts of the last years.
The KIT13c is the further development of the KIT12, which was developed with the design
philosophy of simplicity, reliability and performance. The KIT13c runs a self designed
two cylinder, turbocharged engine with a spray-guided piezo direct injection. Also a
full aero package, a weight reduced (>5%) chassis and an easy tunable suspension system provide a
well-rounded competitive car.
With one of the earliest assembly completions in recent team history, plenty of time has been
spent testing and tuning the car for reliability and overall success.
