Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo Sets EV World Record: Climbs 18,287 Feet In China

The Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo has cemented its position in automotive history by clinching a Guinness World Record through an awe-inspiring 2,783-kilometre expedition that took it from the lowest point in China to the summit of one of the world's highest national highways. This remarkable 10-day challenge commenced at the depths of Ayding Lake, a staggering -718.477 feet below sea level, culminating in the triumphant ascent of Hongtu Daban, soaring to an elevation of 17,571.51 feet above sea level.
