Porsche Cayenne sets Guinness World Record as it pulls Airbus A380

For a regular day-to-day car to pull an aircraft is not a joke. The German SUV Porsche Cayenne has gone beyond its limit to carry out an extraordinary task to pull a 285-tonne Airbus A380 over a distance of 42 metres.

This feat has made the Porsche Cayenne make it into the Guinness Book of World Records, of a standard production car pulling the heaviest aeroplane, which was set at the Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport.

The previous record was set by a Nissan Patrol back in 2013, which pulled 117 tonnes of aeroplane.

The Porsche Cayenne set the new record pulling a 285 tonne, 516 seat, 73 metres long Airbus A380 offered by Air France over a 42 metres distance, using a standard Cayenne S Diesel, which is equipped with a 4.1-litre V8 twin-turbo producing 380 brake horse power.

The car was driven by Porsche GB technician Richard Payne, and was repeated using a 562 brake horse power Cayenne Turbo S.
