Poland — Audi’s electric vehicle A6 E-Tron has set a new Guinness World Record after travelling 1,338 kilometres on a single full charge, becoming the longest-driving electric car in its category.
The record was achieved in Poland, where driver Miko Marczyk began the journey on September 11 at 1:55 AM. The car travelled along roads near the Vistula River to the Hel Peninsula on the Baltic Sea before returning, covering a total distance of 1,338 kilometres.
The entire journey was completed on public roads under normal traffic conditions and took around 45 hours. During the drive, the average temperature was recorded at around 15 degrees Celsius, helping demonstrate the vehicle’s real-world efficiency.
The Audi A6 E-Tron used a 94.9 kWh usable battery pack and was equipped with an electric motor producing 367 horsepower. The vehicle can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.4 seconds while maintaining high efficiency.
Audi stated that the car achieved an average energy consumption of 7.09 kWh per 100 kilometres during the record attempt. Its aerodynamic design, including improvements to the front section, lower body and wheel areas, helped reduce air resistance and improve driving efficiency.
With a drag coefficient of 0.21 Cd, the A6 E-Tron is among Audi’s most aerodynamic production vehicles, highlighting the company’s focus on extending electric vehicle range through battery technology and efficient design.
