Audi A6 Sportback E-Tron Sets New Guinness World Record Going Way Past Its WLTP Electric Range
The run beat the previous production-car mark by 133 kilometers, and Guinness World Records judged the attempt on the spot.
- On September 11, Audi Miko Marczyk set a Guinness World Records entry, driving a series-production Audi Sportback 1,338 kilometers across Poland on a single battery charge.
- This performance beat the previous record by 133 kilometers and exceeded the official WLTP range of 777 kilometers by 72 percent.
- Over 45 hours, Marczyk navigated public roads from Zakopane to the Baltic Sea, averaging 30 kilometers per hour in 15 degrees Celsius weather to maximize efficiency.
- Adjudicated by Guinness judge Anouk Timary, the run used a 100-kWh battery pack and Michelin energy-efficient tires to achieve an average consumption of 7.09 kilowatt-hours per 100 kilometers.
- While the 30-year-old from Lodz previously set a distance record in a diesel-fueled Skoda Superb, this latest achievement applies specifically to production vehicles rather than prototypes.
