GARAGE

Like the goddess Persephone, who lived after her abduction by Hades for 6 months in the underworld and 6 months in the upper world, our Persephone also has a dual nature. The first car designed and built by our team to be both driven and self-driving has redefined the nature of Aristurtle’s cars. Persephone is the first of many cars that our team will create and the first in Greece that can compete in two categories based on the new regulations that follow technological developments.

Nemesis, the kindly and the implacable. In mythology, Nemesis was the goddess of divine justice, balance and retribution. Nemesis, derived from the Greek Νέμειν, which means to distribute, equally distributes justice, as the Gods see fit.

In our reality, Nemesis is Aristurtle’s 5th electric race car. Nemesis will push you to maximize your potential and drive you to become your better self, just as our racecar did in FSA and FS East in 2021!

Aristurtle’s vision for innovation lead our team to the decision of developing its first autonomous vehicle in 2019. Thetis, our 4th electric vehicle, was chosen as the base vehicle to complete this ambitious task. The team’s hard work bore fruition in 2021, when Thetis DV came into operation, becoming the first driverless race car in Greece.

The goal the team set for autonomous Thetis in season 2020-21 was to finish all four autonomous dynamic events in a DV competition. Thetis managed to complete all the events in her first try in FS East 2021, an achievement a handful of DV teams have accomplished. Furthermore, the vehicle won 4th place in the dynamic events, snatching also 3rd place in DV Skidpad and adding one more trophy to its award-winning collection.

Thetis. Nymph of water. Daughter of gods. Mother of heroes. Object of desire, clash and contradiction. Aristurtle pays tribute to the myth of Thetis by bringing her essence to life with the newest edition of its race car. Thetis’ winning attitude enables her to establish her dominance even against theoretically superior rivals while advanced engineering bring unprecedented vehicle dynamics and record-breaking performance in Aristurtle’s most successful package to date. Award-winning achievements and international podium finishes over the 2018–2019 racing season have solidified Thetis’ own place in history.

Iris. the evolutionary. In mythology, Iris was the messenger of the Gods. In our reality, Iris is Aristurtle’s third electric race car. The similarity between the two? Speed. “Golden-winged”, “swift-footed” and “storm-swift” are only a few of the epithets that Iris has; both in mythical and mechanical form.

Eve; the game-changer. She was the one who set the standards for our team’s future race car philosophy. Aluminum monocoque chassis, planetary gearboxes, carbon aerodynamic package, suspension setup; they were all implemented for the first time in Eve. Eve set the foundation for Aristurtle’s success on the track and her influence is still present in every subsequent Aristurtle race car. This is why she was named after the goddess of youth.

Electra; the one who started it all. The pioneer. The one destined to change the course of the automotive landscape. Electra is our first-ever race car brought to life, and the beginning of a new era for the Greek motorsport scene. She is the child of the new era of electric vehicles and her creation poses a threat to her older siblings, the combustion vehicles, by constituting them obsolete.
