HypnoZ - 2012
HypnoZ with its gull-wing doors was one the most prestigious vehicle of EPSA. It has the most onboard intelligence with its electronic systems and control law made to manage the hybridation of the car. Unfortunately, the hybridation had many problems arisen during the SIA Trophy 2012.
Nethertheless, a new team worked on the car during the 2013 season in order to make it functional for the SIA Trophy 2013. The wheelbase had been upgraded and tested on a circuit. The hybridation system had been remodeled: batteries are used for the energy storage rather than super-capacitors allowing a better autonomy in an electric mode.
During the 2013 season, HypnoZ was shown at many events that includes Rendez-Vous Carnot, Run in Lyon and the Forum Perspectives.
