Meet Callisto

  • May 19

We’re proud to introduce Callisto, our sixth-generation race car, and our most advanced one yet.

This year, we’ve taken a major leap forward with the switch to in-wheel motors. By moving the motor directly into the wheels, we gain full control over power distribution, allowing for sharper, more precise vehicle dynamics. For an autonomous race car, that’s a game changer.



We’ve also pushed hard on weight reduction. Callisto comes in at just 220 kg, 30 kg lighter than its predecessor, Elektra. Less weight means more efficiency, more speed, and better performance where it matters most: on track.


Fully electric and fully autonomous, Callisto is built with one goal in mind: maximum performance with minimal energy use. And we’re aiming high. This season, we’re targeting a top 30 spot worldwide, competing in Formula Student against around 500 universities. Ambitious? Absolutely. But that’s what drives us.


This summer, Callisto will compete in Formula Student with international teams in the Czech Republic, Austria, and Germany, pushing the car to its limits and proving what it’s capable of.

It already looks sharp standing still. But make no mistake, Callisto was built to race.
