Porsche Proves It’s Tough

-

A Porsche Cayenne has successful­ly towed an Air France Airbus A380 weighing 285 tonnes. The Cayenne, driven by Porsche GB technician, Richard Payne, towed the aircraft over a distance of 42 m at the Air France H6 maintenanc­e hangar at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, improving on the previous Guinness world Record of 115 tonnes. “we don’t usually go this far to test the limits of our cars, but I think today we got pretty close. I could tell that it was working hard, but the Cayenne didn’t complain and just got on with it. our cars are designed to be tough. But even so, what the Cayenne did today was remarkable,” Payne says.
