Zhiji Motors driver Wei Pengda, aka Panda, drove his Zhiji L7 electric car to spin on a wet track in Shanghai, China, and managed to drift for 258 laps for 27.12 miles.
Wie drove an electric car while drifting for almost 1 hour 6 minutes. Guinness World Records said the feat broke the record for longest drift car for an electric vehicle on a wet surface.
The previous world record, which was 26.2 miles (42.155 km), was set by driver Dennis Retera in a Porsche Taycan in August 2020.
If you don’t know too much about the Zhiji L7, it’s built with iO “Origin” architecture which the company says means it’s a “car born for drifting”.

For the 118kWh version, it will be able to produce power of 400kW and 700Nm. This sedan will be able to accelerate from 0-100 km / h in just 3.9 seconds.
