Since 2012, CURE Mannheim, part of DHBW Mannheim, has developed electric race cars for the Formula Student competition. More than 60 active students from engineering, business, and design collaborate closely to build a new prototype each season. The latest car features a self-developed monocoque with increased stiffness for more precise suspension setup. Paired with all-wheel drive and new recuperation, it’s the most efficient car in CURE’s history.
Engineering Design Priorities:

We proudly present you our CM-18e 'Gudrun', which is the second ever build formula student car by 70 students of DHBW Mannheim and the first one to compete in FSG. The car features 'Pedal Scaling', a realtime indication of the accelerator and brake pedal by LED-bars on the sides and rear. It leads to improved road-safety towards other road users when e.g. not only indicating that you are braking but aswell showing how hard you are braking or that you are accelerating again. Have fun watching! :)
