Beginning the Chassis Design for a Custom Sportscar (Project 171)

In this video, I take you through the start of the chassis design process for a custom sportscar. I explain how some of the fundamentals of engineering help to determine requirements and design goals for the chassis.

This provides insight into helping to answer the biggest question of all. Will the chassis for Project 171 be a Monocoque or a Spaceframe?

Whether you're an automotive enthusiast or an aspiring engineer, this video offers valuable insights into the engineering behind high-performance vehicles.
