The SGT01 is a mid-engine rear-wheel drive 4 seat “sedan”. Our goal with this model is to create an environmentally responsible, perfectly commutable economy sports sedan; with inexpensive cost of ownership and standard safety features. Reducing environmental impact in every step of the mass production capable design, while staying cost-competitive with old-thought manufacturing practices is our commitment to bringing vehicles that make a difference to market.
WIKISPEED (Hawaiian for Speed Speed) is an automotive consultancy founded to prototype ultra-low-cost, mass-production, road legal vehicles. An equally fundamental tenant is to never leave performance gains or driver involvement on the table when it is low cost.
WIKISPEED relies heavily on structural rapid prototyping and contractor relationships to produce road and track cars "just in time"; this unique business model allows WIKISPEED to produce an entirely different vehicle with days notice in order to take advantage of evolutions in automotive technology. WIKISPEED has been a registered automotive manufacturing company since 2006. The WIKISPEED Progressive Automotive X PRIZE Team is led by Joe Justice.
Joe Justice specializes in loosely coupled and hot-swappable engineering, lean manufacturing, konban inventory systems, Agile project management and Scrum contractor collaboration. Joe has been building low–cost and ultra-light sports cars for 6 years; his philosophy of putting ease of maintenance first, balance second, and driver ergonomics third has created exceptionally quick vehicles with low driver fatigue. Joe holds a 3rd degree black belt in Shao-Lin kung fu and Microsoft Gold Partner level software consultant certification.
WIKISPEED relies on Skunk2 for race-quality and race-ready suspension components and support.
