Key Data
The third Formula Student ryacing car of the TU Munich – the nb06 – was presented to the public on 01.06.2006. The team designed the entire vehicle in Catia V5 as a DMU in approx. 10 months of development and production time and converted it 1:1 into reality.
Not for nothing the nb06 won the TÜV SÜD Award for “Best Quality Engineered Car” and the 2nd place in the Design Finals.
