The anniversary vehicle – the Electronyte E17! The product of 10 years of KaRaT, countless setbacks, new approaches and the unstoppable drive for improvement. The expectations for this special race car were enormous, yet they were clearly exceeded. With only 183 kg the E17 was not only the lightest, but also the most successful car in our club history. For the first time KaRaT was able to complete an Endurance race with an electric car. This succeeded not only once, but in all three season races. The highlight was the award “Most Energy Efficient Car” at the Formula Student Germany in Hockenheim.
These successes were achieved by implementing a reliable overall concept with local improvements and at the same time consistently eliminating sources of error from the previous season. The E17 was a big step in the right direction and is a very good basis for further fantastic race cars – made by KaRaT.
