포르쉐 전기차, 드리프트 세계기록 경신    포르쉐가 전기자동차 최장 드리프트 기록을 경신했다. 독일 자동차 제조업체의 강사 데니스 레테라는 앞바퀴가 커브와 같은 방향을 가리키지 않은 채 656피트(197m) 길이의 드리프트 서클에서 210바퀴를 완주했다. 드리프트 드리프트 주행이란 코너에서 높은 탈출속도(exit speed)를 유지하기 위해 운전자가 자동차의 컨트롤을 유지하면서 의도적으로 뒷바퀴를 미끌리게 하여 과조향상태를 유발하여 코너를 통과하는 기술이다. 노면에는 물을 적셔놓고 운전자가 차량을 지속적으로 미끄러트리며 주행한다. 레테라는 포르쉐 타이칸을 타고 드리프트하는 동안 55분 만에  총 26마일(41.6km)을 달렸다. 타이칸은 이탈리아 나르드슈의 고속 트랙에서 24시간 내내 2,128마일(34,048km)을 달렸고 독일 뉘르부르크링-노르스슐라이프에서의 7시간 42분의 최고 기록을 보유하고 있으며 이번에 이전 기록을 갱신했다. 이 기네스 세계기록은 공식 기록관 조앤 브렌트의 감독 하에 이루어졌다. 황기철 콘페이퍼 에디터 Ki Chul Hwang Conpaper editor curator

Porsche has broken the Guinness World Record for the longest drift of an electric vehicle.

The German car maker's instructor, Dennis Retera, completed 210 laps on a 656-foot-long drift circle without the front wheels ever pointing in the same direction of the curve.

Retera clocked in 55 minutes while traveling sideways in a Porsche Taycan, covering a total of 26 miles.

The Taycan has hit previous milestones, as it holds the record for its 24-hour endurance run over 2,128 miles on the high-speed track in Nardò, Italy and the best time in its class of 7:42 minutes on the Nürburgring-Nordschleife, Germany.

The record-breaking event took place at Porsche's Hockenheimring center, which is setup with an irrigation system to provide water on the track for a clean drift.

'When the driving stability programs are switched off, a powerslide with the electric Porsche is extremely easy, especially of course with this model variant, which is driven exclusively via the rear wheels, Retera said.

'Sufficient power is always available. The low center of gravity and the long wheelbase ensure stability.'

The attempt was also achieved under the supervision of Guinness World Records official record judge Joanne Brent, how has witnessed a number of record attempts over the past five years.

'We've had some drift records, but with an electric sports car it's something very special for us too. Here Porsche has done real pioneering work,' Brent said.

The Guinness expert watched from the sidelines as Retera traveled around the course 210 times.

'Nevertheless, it was also very tiring for me to keep my concentration high for 210 laps, especially as the irrigated asphalt of the drift circuit does not provide the same grip everywhere,' said Retera.
