The Spirit of Amsterdam 3 has introduced several new mechanical and electrical concepts to the Spirit of Amsterdam vehicles.
We have integrated allot of new ideas into the vehicle. Since last year we have gathered allot of new experiance with creating a drive-by-wire computer in the Spirit of Amsterdam 2 and the H2A vehicle. The lessons we learned during these two project have been incorperated in the design of the 2011 wind vehicle.
