\nHow much horsepower do you need to have fun in a car? More is usually<\/em> better, but sometimes less is okay too. Sometimes even none is enough – if you have gravity on your side. When you’re running off-road through mud, rocks, up hills, crashing off of whoops and flying over jumps, you certainly can’t rely on the attraction of physical bodies to get you around the course. You need power. Cornell’s Baja SAE buggy admittedly doesn’t have much, driven by a lowly 10-hp Briggs & Stratton that wouldn’t look out of place on a lawnmower. This most certainly is not a lawnmower.<\/p>\n

Cornell’s team of students past and present have built an impressive chariot to cradle that engine and a driver. CAD modeled, CNC hewn and carbon fiber-skinned, nearly everything on the kart is a one-off created by the sort of technology that drives Formula One. When an offer came in to come drive the thing, we jumped right in – right in to a mudbath as it turned out. Won’t you join us<\/a>?<\/p>\n
