Porsche Taycan GTS Achieves Ice Drift Record

The Porsche Taycan GTS has set a new Guinness World Record for the longest continuous drift on ice by an electric vehicle, achieving a distance of 17.5 kilometers (10.876 miles) over 132 laps in 46 minutes at the Porsche Arctic Centre in Finland. This feat was accomplished by Porsche Experience instructor Jens Richter, who maneuvered the Taycan using only throttle and steering interventions, without brakes. The record-breaking attempt required adjustments, including switching to Michelin tires with smaller spikes, to manage the deteriorating ice track. The Taycan GTS, equipped with two electric motors producing 690 horsepower, successfully demonstrated its capabilities under extreme conditions, adding to its four existing Guinness titles. The event underscores the Taycan's advanced chassis and performance, making it a potent contender in the realm of electric vehicles. This achievement not only enhances Porsche's reputation in the EV market but also serves as a testament to the vehicle's engineering excellence.
