Voyah Passion S electric SUV completes 360-degree tunnel loop

Voyah, a premium brand under the Chinese state-owned manufacturer Dongfeng, has launched the Passion S, an electric fastback utility vehicle (FUV). To mark the launch, the company demonstrated the vehicle performing a 360-degree loop inside a closed test tunnel in Wuhan, China.

According to Voyah, the maneuver was completed using a standard production-spec vehicle without special modifications or visual effects. The SUV reached speeds of approximately 130 km/h with a 16-degree steering angle to utilize centripetal force to maintain contact with the tunnel walls and ceiling. The company released unedited, single-take footage to address previous skepticism regarding the authenticity of such stunts.

The demonstration serves as a direct response to a famous 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG advertisement featuring Michael Schumacher, which was long subject to claims of using computer-generated imagery. Voyah claims the Passion S is the first production vehicle in the world to successfully complete this specific maneuver.
