Abstract
This is the summary of the design process of the drivetrain and suspension systems made for the purpose of converting a 1972 Opel GT to electric power. The goals of this study were to optimize the suspension for ride handling as well as integrate the suspension and power systems into a single modular unit that could then be tweaked for integration into other electric vehicle conversion projects.
