Top 5
Overall state-finals finish against stronger-funded competition.
V37 Listing
V37. Student-built, state-proven, ready for nationals.
The V37 is Team Proto's full race platform: designed in Fusion 360, refined through CFD, machined for competition, and presented here like a professional car listing.
Top 5 at state finals
State knockout champions
Fastest-car credibility
Knockout result
1st
State Knockout Champions and one of the strongest proof points on the site.
Design cycle
37
Logged iterations from early surface studies to the current V37 package.
Target speed
35m/s
One of the key performance targets within the race-spec story.
Render Set
The full car, from every angle that matters.
Use the gallery like a professional listing: preview the body, silhouette, front-end stance, rear packaging, and sponsor surfaces.
Perspective
3/4 Fusion Render
Best overall read of the proportions, aero surfaces, and how the V37 carries itself as a sponsor-facing race package.
Design + Specs
The V37 is engineered to read clearly on both track and screen.
The page combines car-listing clarity with race-story context: performance targets, manufacturing approach, and the design decisions that shaped the final package.
CAD Platform
Fusion 360
The full design-to-manufacture workflow was carried through Autodesk Fusion 360.
Simulation
CFD
Aerodynamic validation and iteration were built into the design loop before final manufacturing.
Manufacturing
CNC
CAM toolpaths and CNC machining translated the design into a race-ready physical part set.
Competition fit
1000 pts
The car lives inside a broader competition that scores racing, engineering, enterprise, presentation, and management.
Aero story
Low drag without losing composure
The rear-wing angle, overall silhouette, and surface cleanup work toward a lower-drag race profile that still reads stable.
Sponsor surfaces
Clean visibility zones
The body-side layout leaves clearer sponsor-facing visibility without compromising the overall form of the car.
Build discipline
Designed like a serious entry
The V37 works as both a student engineering result and a professional-looking asset for decks, sponsor pages, and public proof.
Workflow
From student idea to race-spec object.
This is the professional pipeline behind the V37, condensed into the sequence sponsors and collaborators need to understand quickly.
01
3D CAD Modelling
Design the geometry
Surface studies, packaging decisions, wheel placement, and race-legal form development start inside Fusion 360.

CFD Simulation
Validate the aero story
Simulation helps the team compare shapes, drag behavior, and the tradeoffs that matter before committing to final manufacture.
