Automotive Milestone: Voyah Electric Vehicle Executes ‘Tunnel Loop’ Stunt
Voyah, the premium brand under Dongfeng, has successfully completed the challenging ‘tunnel loop’ stunt. This groundbreaking achievement took place at a restricted facility in Wuhan, China. For the first time in history, this extreme maneuver was performed by a production vehicle – the Voyah Passion S electric car.
Details of the Maneuver
To successfully navigate the ‘tunnel loop,’ the Voyah electric vehicle accelerated to approximately 130 km/h (80 mph). This speed was crucial for maintaining the car’s position on the tunnel’s ceiling and preventing it from falling. The stunt gained legendary status through a famous Mercedes advertisement featuring Michael Schumacher, though that execution involved a specially modified vehicle.
Voyah’s successful performance of the ‘tunnel loop’ with a production electric car highlights the advanced engineering capabilities and high safety standards achieved in modern electric vehicle manufacturing.
This is absolutely incredible! Seeing a production EV pull off something as legendary as Schumacher’s tunnel loop really makes you think about the advancements in vehicle dynamics and battery placement for weight distribution. I’m curious, how much did the regenerative braking play into stabilizing the vehicle during the entry or exit? And did they have to make any software tweaks to the traction control for this specific stunt? It truly redefines what we expect from EVs!
