The 2025 Huskie Motorsports Formula SAE car.

Design.

Develop every system of the car using engineering analysis, simulation, and past performance data. Collaborate to optimize the chassis, suspension, powertrain, aerodynamics, and electronics for performance, reliability, and manufacturability.

Build.

Turn detailed designs into a fully functional race car. Fabricate the chassis, machine suspension components, assemble the drivetrain, and integrate electrical and control systems. This is where the car takes shape.

Compete.

Travel to events to validate your work against other teams. Complete technical inspections, dynamic events and represent NIU on a national stage.
