eXXe24
Our new car: eXXe24
The development and implementation of our new eXXe24 car will begin with the 2023–2024 season. The goal for 2024 was to build a race car within a year—a first in E-Traxx’s history.
Own development
The aim of Formula Student is to apply your own knowledge in practice. This year, we were able to benefit massively from the lessons we learned last season and have fundamentally revised and optimised our old concept in several areas.
120 km/h top speed
With our racing car we reach a top speed of 120 km/h. We achieve stability and a good driving feel at high and low speeds with a lot of dynamics thanks to our 13" magnesium rims from OZ and our push-rod suspension.
Dual motor drive
With two motors, each driving one wheel on the rear axle, we can accelerate to 100 km/h in around 4 seconds. With 55 hp per engine, we can drive safely on the racetrack.
First aero pack
Our biggest goal for our new car was to develop a complete aerodynamic concept. The entire aero package weighs 9.2 kg and consists of front and rear wings, sidepods and a diffuser that we developed ourselves. This enabled us to optimise the airflow to the water flow radiators. In total, our new aero package enables us to create approx. 1000 N downforce at 60 km/h.
Fully electric
Our vehicle is fully electrically powered and is supplied by a self-built battery with 80 kW of power. For the first time, we also had our wiring harness professionally manufactured and thus also set up a standardised connector system. A total of 250 metres of cable was used.
Welding work
Our racing car consists of a tubular frame. This was completely designed and welded by us. Furthermore, all wheel carriers and the chassis were developed in-house. We have also added an adjustable pedal box to these racing cars.
Construction Phase of “Birdy”
There was a lot of welding and sweating involved. Not only did we build a car in such a short time for the very first time, but with our eXXe24, we’re also proud to present our first-ever homemade aero kit. That’s why its nickname is: Birdy.

Successes on the Track
The hard work paid off. In the summer of 2024, we successfully competed in the Formula Student events Formula Student Germany at the Hockenheimring in Germany and Formula Student ATA at the Autodromo Riccardo Paletti in Italy with We competed at the Autodromo Riccardo Paletti in Italy with our eXXe24. For the first time, we were able to compete in all the dynamic events there.
