This is the team’s sixth car. The car is equipped with full aero package , adjustable ARB, launch control and many other features that have improved its performance over the previous versions. The car weighs under 185 kg and is powered by a KTM duke 390’s engine tuned to produce power in excess of 40 Hp. Also it is learnt that the car can accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph in just 4.6 seconds. 

The team hopes to perform its best in next month’s race in Germany and aims to continue its legacy of building people and not just cars. “Camber racing team was started in 2009 from scratch. Even without the support of the industry, we were able to achieve great success in almost all the events we participated. The alumni played a vital role in flow of experience and technology and our sponsors helped us with the flow of funds,” said the HOD of Automobile Engineering and team principal, Dr Leenus Jesu Martin. 

The car was unveiled in the SRM University’s auditorium and the occasion was graced by vice chancellor of the university, Dr Prabir K Bagchi, director of E&T, Dr C Muthamizhchelvan, HOD of Automobile Engineering and Dr Leenus Jesu Martin, and Sharda Motors Industry Ltd CEO and R&D head, Dr S Rajadurai.
