During this time, it drove 12.3 meters. Around 30 people worked on this project for nearly a year. They designed and optimized all parts of the car, from electrical connections to the chassis and battery. The car weighs 140 kilograms but has the power of 240 kilowatts of power. The driver Kate Maggetti took on the challenge. Experts said that the project was successful only thanks to the collaboration of students and their hard work to find new and unusual solutions.
