Car #141 EDGE17
Info
Coming off a successful season, the aim of this year's car, the EDGE17, was to transfer valuable lessons from previous years into a completely redesigned vehicle platform. Additionally to a new suspension system and major aerodynamic changes, the EDGE17 features a new inverter and gearbox - all self-developed by our team of over 100 highly motivated students. After a year of development and manufacturing, we can’t wait to get back on track and compete. We are one - 41!

This year our EDGE16 is a new and improved version of last season’s car. We took valuable lessons from last year to identify opportunities for growth and are back stronger - with a big emphasis on reliability. Our more than 100 team members worked tirelessly on the car to get it into competitive shape. With our self-developed engines and inverters, combined with improved aerodynamics, we are ready to hit the racetracks and are looking forward to a great competition. We are one – 41!

2024 marks an exciting milestone in the history of TU Wien Racing: This year's EDGE is already our tenth car with an electric engine!Our main goal was to refine proven components and to solve problems we encountered last year. The EDGE15 has an entirely new powertrain including new engines, a new inverter and an overhauled accumulator.The team of around 100 students can’t wait to get back to Hockenheim, especially since we weren’t able to attend last year. We are one - 41!

This year TU Wien Racing is attending the competition with the EDGE12, its seventh electric vehicle. Our goal for the season was to improve the self-developed powertrain and increase reliability by maximizing the amount of testing time conducted prior to Formula Student events. Each test run improves the car's performance and supplies the team with new data that forms the foundation for the development of the upcoming model. After a year of forced break, we cannot wait to compete on track again!

After 5 seasons powered by a KTM one-cylinder engine, our team continues the successful story of the "EDGE" series with our first electric racing car, the EDGE6. With lightweight design in every component we were able to further reduce the weight of our car. One-piece CFRP monocoque, 10" carbon rims, aeropackage, self-developed electric motors and transmission with CFRP drive shafts are just some of the features of our new racer. Special thanks to our many sponsors for their continuous support!
