Team Description
High-Voltage Motorsports e.V. is the Formula Student Team of the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg. Founded in 2007 as High-Octane Motorsports e.V. we have successfully participated in many competitions all over Europe. As a part of the Formula Student Combustion until 2020, we decided to join the Formula Student Electric in 2021. Hoping to be crowned with success, we are looking forward to a great season!
2026
Info
High-Voltage Motorsports e.V. is the Formula Student team of the FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg. This season we are developing our most advanced race car yet. Our FAUmax tau is an all-wheel-drive vehicle with four wheel hub motors, a custom gearbox, topology-optimized wheel carriers, a new inverter package and an improved battery concept. A redesigned aerodynamic package and lightweight monocoque maximize efficiency and handling on track. With these changes we strive towards reliability and performance.

Using our previously gained experience with our first successful EV car, we are excited to show off our second iteration with the FAUmax Pi. At the beginning of this season, we decided to focus on the following fields: maximize our testing time by keeping stuck to the schedule, a lightweight design, reliability, aerodynamic performance, and testing time. We are thrilled to present and power up our car in this year's events.
