Longhorn Racing Electric is a student design team at the University of Texas at Austin that designs, builds, and races a formula-style electric race car. Our mission is to provide students with an opportunity to garner knowledge in the engineering field through hands-on learning in a challenging and innovative environment with other like-minded students. 

 

Electric cars are new, exciting, and revolutionizing the automotive industry. We aim to cultivate interest and education in this new technology and provide our members with a unique, cutting-edge experience. Having an electric car team increases the diversity of UT’s chapter of the Society of Automotive Engineers by attracting people from a wider variety of technical backgrounds.
