Each year, we dedicate ourselves to push the limits of performance and build the next generation of electric racecars at Penn. Explore our past vehicles below.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all the members of our team were sent home before we were able to fully finish building REV6. Still, we competed in the virtual FSAE competition in the Design, Cost, and Sales event, winning the 4th place Siemens Digital Twin Award. We hope to be able to come back on campus soon to complete the car in time for competition in June 2021.

Over the past few years, we've had some pretty cool people graduate from the team. Click here to meet them!
Bailey Carlson is a junior from Chicago, Illinois, majoring in Mechanical Engineering. She is a member of the Mechanical team. She loves anything that is striped and therefore hopes the car has racing stripes.
Anton Ludwig is a junior from Grand Rapids, Michigan, majoring in Mechanical Engineering. He is one of the co-leads of the Mechanical team. In his spare time, he is trying (and failing) to learn how to skateboard.
