Tech Specs
Technical brief for the professional-class machine — chassis, systems, and race geometry.
Envelope still being locked for the open-class car.
Power, control, and safety notes are in draft.
Regulation geometry will publish with the brief.
The Craft
How the professional car is built, assembled, and prepared for the grid.
Factory imagery forthcoming
Stage 01
Surfacing and fairing notes are being written.
Stage 02
Installation sequence still in the shop book.
Stage 03
Grid-ready finish checklist is in progress.
Roadmap
Milestones from homologation through the closing round.
Q1 · Homologation
Dates to be published with the calendar.
Papers, ballast, and the first night under the garage lights.
Q2 · Shakedown
Test windows are still being scheduled.
A quiet track, cold tires, and the first bioluminescent pass before dawn.
Q3 · Opening round
Venue and entry list forthcoming.
Lights out for the open-class program — the season begins.
Q4 · Title stretch
Championship path will follow the debut.
The last stint of the year, written in the same cobalt line.

Engineering Core
Every part of our design is the result of relentless iteration, from the shape of our sidepods, to the angle of our wings, to the streamlined body of our car. This is the engineering core of our car: Sophon MK8.

The Craft
From the first file opened in our modelling software, to the last coating of spray paint, our team has worked restlessly to proudly bring you our final car design: Sophon MK8.
The Chase
Our accomplishments are much more than just the speed of our final car. It's the hard work we spent on CAD modelling, manufacturing, surface finishings, renderings. Every phase leaves its mark, and is worth celebrating.
Complete 3D modeling in Fusion 360, covering chassis structure, suspension geometry, and aerodynamic shell. We have refined our digital design over eight iterations, using aerodynamic simulations to find and target imperfections in our design.
The body is cut by machine to the CAD form, bringing our design to life. Chassis, shell, and volume come off the mill as a single piece.
Hand sanding smoothens the car body, removing bumps on the surface for optimal aerodynamic flow. Foam putty is applied to cover microscopic holes in the foam for smoothness on a microscopic level. Finally, spray painting gives the car shine, and its signature Hyperion color palette.
