Porsche this month set a new world record for the longest drift ever pulled off by an electric car.

The stunt was performed at the Porsche Experience Center at the Hockenheimring in Germany, around the wet skidpad, and lasted a full 55 minutes.

In that 55 minutes, the Taycan managed to cover 26.2 miles (42.2 km) traveled sideways; the entire stunt was supervised by Guinness World Records representatives, making it official almost as soon as it was finished.

The vehicle used was a rear-wheel-drive-only Taycan, a model only available in China. This model has 414 kilometres of range with the Performance Battery, or 489 km with the Performance Battery Plus.
