Porsche Taycan Records The Longest Continuous Drift In An EV

The Porsche Taycan has set a new world record for the longest continuous drift in an electric car. The attempt took place on the 'wet circle' skid pan at the Porsche Experience Centre (PEC) at Germany's Hockenheim race circuit and has been verified by Guinness World Records. The PEC’s chief instructor, Dennis Retera, was at the wheel for the record-breaking drift. Porsche used a pre-production rear-wheel-drive (RWD) version of the Taycan during the attempt. Retera managed to keep circulating for 55 minutes and 210 laps to a total distance of 42.171 km until the Taycan’s battery was completely depleted. A Guinness World Records official was on hand to present Retera with a certificate to officially acknowledge his achievement.
