New altitude record for Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo
New altitude record for Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo
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.
