Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo sets new altitude record
London, 12 September, 2023, (Oilandgaspress) – At the top of Hongtu Daban in Tibet, the Taycan Cross Turismo conquered a new record for the greatest altitude change by an electric car: 5,573.979 metres. The Porsche Taycan has secured a new Guinness World Record after completing an extreme, 2,783-kilometre journey that saw it go from the lowest natural point in China to the top of one of the world’s highest national highways. The 10-day challenge began at Ayding Lake, at an altitude of minus 218.845 metres, and ended with the successful summiting of Hongtu Daban, at 5,355.134 metres above sea level.
The Xinjiang-Tibet route features desolate regions that challenge the very limits of survival, with extreme weather combining with complex and changing terrain and road conditions. With many predictable – and unpredictable – risks along the way, this spectacular road trip fully demonstrated the Taycan Cross Turismo’s off-road capabilities, long-distance comfort and solid reliability. The charging efficiency of Porsche’s 800 V architecture also proved itself in the most punishing conditions.
The record-breaking altitude change of 5,573.979 m brought with it dramatic changes in temperature, air pressure, geological conditions and other surprises from the natural world. Thanks to their terrific adaptability, the two Taycan 4 Cross Turismo sports cars that set out on the journey were able to meet each challenge head-on. From surface temperatures of 70°C to frozen, icy roads; from busy cities to a 5,000-metre-high no-man’s land; this unforgettable trip provided the team with one unique experience after another.
