THE CHALLENGE

BAJA SAE is a series of widely popular and innovative international competitions that simulate real world engineering challenges. For the first time in 2007, SAE India organised the BAJA competition in India that excited & fostered competitive spirit in many brilliant minds across the country.

The objective of the competition was to design, engineer, source, manufacture and market an innovative operational prototype of a rugged single seater for the consumer/industrial market.

It was the result of incessant diligence and 6 months of hard work of the students of Amity School of Engineering & Technology that helped them clear the gruelling selection process of SAE. ASET was the only one among 27 reputed institutes to design & develop a 4 Wheel Drive - India's first BAJA all-terrain vehicle!

Well appreciated by industry veterans, motor enthusiasts, sponsors and the media, the roadster is more than just an off-road recreational 4 wheeler. Featuring an innovative front suspension design, a 275 cc Lombardini LGA 280 (9 HP) Gasoline engine and 8 Forward and 2 Reverse Gears, the vehicle is also the first Indian model to use alloy steel for chassis.
