Lightest Racecar with Innovations Towards Four-Wheel-Drive
On March 29th, Penn Electric Racing unveiled REV9, the team’s first vehicle with a custom planetary gearbox, custom motor controller, and regenerative braking system. As the lightest racecar in the team’s history, REV9 doesn’t take away creation from its previous iterations, but instead features many bold and cutting-edge innovations to improve its performance. In the unveiling event, hundreds of guests gathered around College Green, including sponsor representatives, Penn Engineering professors, parents, and students. The team is now gearing up for an intensive period of testing and tuning REV9 in preparation for the upcoming FSAE EV competition in Michigan.
