Automotive engineering lab

The auto lab has a range of vehicles, including a Lotus Exige and a Daytona motorbike. Experienced staff provide specialist laboratory support.

Students have access to an extensive range of resources in our modern automotive engineering laboratory. The high-tech resources have been specifically chosen to support the comprehensive content of Kingston's automotive programmes and the specialist requirements of our motorsport and motorcycle courses.

Equipment includes a range of modern vehicles; rolling road, fully equipped, engine test cells; and a suspension dynamometer. The facilities are supported by dedicated and highly experienced support staff.

Students also build and modify a Sylva Striker kit car as part of their studies. The car is raced by students in the kit car formula of the 750 motor club at Brands Hatch and Silverstone.
