Team Description

Aristurtle is a pioneering student research team at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki dedicated to designing, developing, and building electric and driverless race cars. The team was founded in 2013 and in 2016 Aristurtle built the first electric race car in Northern Greece. Since then, each year the team designs and manufactures a race car that competes in a series of international Formula Student competitions. In 2021, our team became the first and only team in Greece to compete in the driverless category, a distinction we hold to this day.

Info

Aristurtle is a student team from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki designing and constructing electric and driverless single seaters. Since 2016, we’ve competed in Formula Student events, becoming the first Greek team in the driverless category in 2021. For the 2024–2025 season, we’ve built a new single-seater with four of our custom, in-house Aristurtle M2 electric motors. Forza Turtles!

Car #121

Info

Aristurtle is glad to introduce its 4th racecar and return to Hockenheim! The overall design concept revolves around weight reduction, reliability improvement and performance optimization. Key features are its new aluminum monocoque and radically revised aerodynamic package. The team is proud to develop in-house most parts. Among main areas of focus was the upgrade of control systems. Significant specs are the Regenerative Braking System and DRS. AMS, Telemetry and Datalogger are all custom.

Car #11

Info

Aristurtle was founded in 2013 by students of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Our team’s goal is to design and manufacture electric single seated racing cars, to compete in Formula Students Events and to promote electro mobility worldwide and in especially Greece. This year, we’ve designed and manufactured our second racing car which features a monocoque chassis and 2 electric motors. Responsibility, Organization, Loyalty and Teamwork are the fundamentals of Aristurtle.
