Info
This season, we’ve rethought our entire concept while keeping our core architecture: a four-wheel-drive system with a steel tubular frame. Instead of evolving last year’s car, we designed every assembly to fit a unified vision from the start. From packaging to suspension, each choice serves the overall concept. The result is not just progress, it’s a breakthrough. We’re proud to present our boldest car yet: Tremola.
Engineering Design Priorities:
Aerodynamics
Vehicle dynamics
Ergonomics
Data gathering
Manufacturing quality
Cooling overhaul

Info
This season we have the opportunity to build on last year's reliable and fast car. Our core concept remains the same: a four-wheel-drive wheel-hub powertrain with a steel-frame tubular chassis. With a strong base, we can now focus on improving performance. Our efforts include reducing weight, optimising vehicle dynamics, improving ergonomics and rigorous testing. We've also introduced a traction control system to further enhance the car's capabilities. We proudly present Sajetta, our 2024 car.
