For my Senior Design class, we built a formula style car and competed against 40 other schools from across the country. This presentation was for the design event where we had to "sell"our design to a group of mock investors describing our design\'s benefits.

1. Design Team

2. Overview Design Features and Performance Manufacturability Cost Information Marketability

4. Suspension

5. Steering

6. Brake Bias/Pedals

9. Design Features and Performance Intake System Restrictor Venturi instead of converging-diverging nozzle Extremely smooth flow Plenum Complex shape to optimize flow Fiberglass construction

10. Manufacturability Subassemblies Emphasized in design Allows assembly-line production (ADD PICTURE OF LAYOUT)

11. Manufacturability Off-the-shelf Components Accounts for 60% of vehicle cost Excellent quality Fully-integrated into vehicle design

12. Manufacturability Bulk Production through Laser Cutting/Waterjetting Uprights are a good example Cost effective due to reduced machine time Fast turnaround with minimal tooling costs (ADD PICTURE OF UPRIGHTS)

13. Cost Information Off-the-shelf parts $6,600 Manufactured parts/labor $4,400 TOTAL $11,000

15. Comparable car (F1000) sells for $30-65K new, and $18-24K for older version

16. Reasonably priced for nonprofessional weekend autocrosser

17. Profit per vehicle - $7,000
