Potential they had and the success of their first attempt led them to believe that they could do far better. And so the next version of the Barracuda was born. This time around, however, they used the powerful 600 cc engine of a Honda CBR600 sports motorbike.
The third and latest version of the car has the same engine. Gesturing towards the car, Rohit says, "This was the car which went to the competition held in August last year. Everything that you see was created completely by students. We came up with the sponsorship, the marketing, the design, the fabrication and manufacturing. There was no professional assistance."
So how exactly did that work out? Rohit proudly explains, "Once we were ready with our designs for the car, we sent them to industrial professionals, who manufactured the parts accordingly and sent them back. So basically the design -- the core element of this car -- is all ours. Just us students."
