OUR STORY
Team Hyperloop was born from a shared passion for Formula 1 and engineering excellence. In 2025, six students from different backgrounds came together with one ambitious goal: to build the ultimate DIY go-kart inspired by the legendary McLaren MP4/4.
Led by founder Denuwan Bogoda, our team combines diverse expertise in mechanical engineering, powertrain systems, fabrication, safety, design, and documentation. Each member brings unique skills that contribute to making the F¼ Kart a reality.
We're currently in the planning and design phase, meticulously preparing every aspect of the build. From the Honda Super Cub engine integration to the F1-inspired livery design, every detail is being carefully considered to create something truly special.
