Case Study: Team Penske reduces design cycle to 8 months and cuts prototyping & testing by 60% with PTC

Team Penske - Customer Case Study

Team Penske, one of the most successful teams in motorsports, needed to speed product development, boost cross‑team collaboration and cut costly prototyping and testing while designing competitive race cars. To meet these challenges, Team Penske deployed PTC solutions—particularly PTC Creo for CAD and PTC Windchill for product lifecycle management—across concepting, simulation, detailing and production stages.

PTC delivered a solution that enabled rapid design option testing, top‑down assembly workflows and full 3D verification, reducing prototype iterations and development costs. Using PTC Creo and PTC Windchill, Team Penske cut the NASCAR Gen 6 design cycle from two years to eight months, reduced prototyping and wind‑tunnel tests by about 60%, and accelerated innovation and production turnaround.
