The Cars
The ACE Formula Hybrid team is currently developing two vehicles - ACE I and ACE II. ACE II, used in last year's competition, is a series hybrid currently undergoing improvements based on 2007 Formula Hybrid SAE results. ACE II, our new design this year, is a parallel hybrid currently undergoing development for FHSAE 2008. While we are very enthusiastic about developing ACE I, we have high hopes for both cars in the upcoming competitions.
