Mechanical systems
The mechanical systems group is responsible for designing and optimizing the physical components of the car's suspension, steering, brakes, and other dynamic systems to ensure optimal performance and handling.
Our team
Vehicle Dynamics
Defining how the car feels and performs on track through suspension, steering, braking, and handling development.
What we do
The Vehicle Dynamics Team is responsible for all the moving components of the car, the systems that allow it to accelerate, brake, and steer. They define the car’s dynamic behavior through simulations and iterative design work, ensuring that it's drivable.
The team consists of 17 engineers working on complex mechanical systems such as suspension, steering, drivetrain, and brakes. Some members focus more on simulations and analysis, studying how tire and suspension parameters affect overall vehicle performance to refine the car’s behavior.

Behind the scenes
How Vehicle Dynamics works
Simulation and analysis
The simulation and analysis group uses computational tools to model and predict the behavior of various car systems, helping to optimize designs before physical prototyping.
