SSF - 63 HYPERCAR PROJECT
The SSF-63 is a self-branded LMP2 hypercar for Le Mans 24H racing. My focus of this project is on the appearance design, CAD design, and aero analysis of the car.

INTRODUCING SSF-63
SSF-63 PHEV LMP2 HYPERCAR
SSF-63 is a hybrid Le Mans LMP2 division hypercar integrated with 2 powerful electric motors and a v6 mid-engine design.
MINIMIZE THE DRAG
Through the Venturi effect, I designed a choked area to create a low-pressure zone with high air velocity which creates a suction area. By preventing the air flow separation, the front wing also gives multiple vortex generators which could help attach the flow, reducing the wake and drag force. When the high-pressure zone from outside meets the low pressure, it generates vortices that follow the shape of the car.
DOWNFORCE BALANCE
The massive rear wing of the back produces a lot of downforce which lets the rear tires attach to the ground. The DRS system plays a crucial role in the straight-line to degenerate downforce. The endplates of the rear wing help reduce the turbulence and the air drag of the wing. I designed the rear wing by tilting it downward, which makes the vortices smaller and decreases vortex drag.
SUSPENSION
The front suspension of the car is a push rod and the rear is pull, it allows essential components to be moved out of direct airflow, closer to the center of gravity, and allow the center of gravity to be lowered, thereby creating a more efficient distribution of weight and management of body roll.
