- Air France and Porsche: New Guinness World Records title
A completely standard 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-metres at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, to set a new Guinness World Records title for Heaviest aircraft pull by a production car, by a margin of 115-tonnes.
Air France devoted its state-of-the-art engineering hangar and one of its fleet of 10 A380 aircraft to the project. The 60,000 square metre hangar, which is large enough to house over 3,000 examples of the Cayenne (or one very big aircraft), was designed specifically to house the Air France Airbus A380 and is usually home to all the engineering and maintenance activity for the Air France fleet. The contrast between the two machines was striking. The Porsche Cayenne (measuring 4.8-metres in length) was connected to the most sophisticated and largest passenger aircraft in the world, the Airbus A380 (73-metres) via a special towing attachment that sat on the Cayenne’s standard tow bar.
Payne: “Our cars can go a bit beyond what our customers might expect”
The Guinness World Records title was set by a Cayenne S Diesel, producing 385 hp (Fuel consumption combined 8.2 - 8.0 l/100 km; CO2-emissions 215 - 209 g/km) and 850 Nm of torque. The exercise was then repeated using a Porsche Cayenne Turbo S.
Richard Payne, a technician at Porsche GB: “It did it - I’m so relieved! 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. My mirrors were quite full of Airbus, which was interesting. Our cars can go a bit beyond what our customers might expect - they’re designed to be tough. But even so, what the Cayenne did today was remarkable - we drove the car here from London - and I plan to drive it home again, having towed an A380 in between. Credit should go to the team in Stuttgart who developed the car - they did a thorough job. I’m also very grateful to Air France and its engineers for their generosity in allowing me to tow their beautiful aircraft.”
Mortreux: “It was fun and exciting to watch the two machines together”
Gery Mortreux, Executive Vice President Air France Industries: “Like Porsche, Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance thrive on excellence and pushing engineering boundaries. It was an honor to host Porsche at our hangar at Charles de Gaulle, which is usually home to our engineers working on our fleet of 10 Airbus A380 - one of the most sophisticated aircraft in the world. This achievement is a new illustration of the way AFI KLM E&M is able to adapt to specific requirements, and the passion we put on every challenge we take. It was fun and exciting to watch the two machines together - our engineers were intrigued and impressed. Congratulations to Porsche on a remarkable achievement.”
Pravin Patel, Adjudicator, Guinness World Records: “I’ve verified some amazing record attempts during my time as a Guinness World Records adjudicator - watching a Porsche Cayenne tow one of the largest aircraft in the world definitely ranks as among the most spectacular. My congratulations go out to all those involved in achieving this remarkable feat.”

But Touareg towed a 747
@@arseniysmirnof8582 but the b747 is lighter
lol this was super anticlimactic, for some reason in my head I pictured the thing doing burnouts and struggling to get it going
LOLOLOL SAMEEE but it wouldn’t be nearly as strong as a car like this with traction control.
It will never beat the simplicity that the touareg had.
Car: Germany
Department: GB
Location: France
Hotel: Trivago
what is extraordinary is when that 285 ton (400+ ton when fueled up) gets to the end of the runway and takes off
Notice that at 2:25 the rev counter is from a Cayenne Turbo S and not a Cayenne S Diesel
because the record was done in both a cayenne s diesel and turbo s 🤦♂️ did you even watch the entire video
@@wutanglan6381 well the first car to pull the plane was a cayenne diesel so it was kinda misleading tho
Amazing achievement, showed my wife as she has the exact same Porsche Cayenne S 4.2 V8 Diesel and she said "So we can tow a caravan with it" - LOL
Tata hexa: Hold my beer
Hexa pulled boeing 737 which is very light..
A380 is worlds biggest passenger aircraft
That was a smaller plane.
Hate to break it to you but the Airbus a380 is 1,265,000 pounds while the Boeing 737-800 that the Tata pulled, is 90,000 pounds..
laws of physics said "ight ima head out"
Imagine what a diesel f350 could pull then. Probably anything in the world on well inflated tires.
imagine being that stupid thinking anything can easily be pulled it it’s on wheels
People with steam tractors can’t pull anything they move the earth instead
With a 4.2l v8 it is towing 285 whereas a land rover with 2l engine can pull 110 look at the difference
I owned a cayenne..
the car: A M S T R O N K
2:29 why you’re here!!
U fucking everywhere
Even Tata Hexa can do that 😂😂😂
Tata hexa towed 7 times smaller weight plane cayenne is doing such a wonderfull work
True😂
Nithin you're mistaken.... This was a Airbus A380.... The world's largest passenger aircraft. What Tatas Hexa pulled was a Boeing 737 aircraft which is very very smaller in comparison and Tata HEXA only pulled it over 50 metres while this car towed an Airbus for 140 metres!!!
Hexa pulled 737 very small aircraft compared to this
That's all what's left for Guinness record?
Shams Ul Haque It's a production cayenne, means no engine modifications what so ever! 285 tons is not a joke for a production model.
My 20 year old pickup makes more power than that car and it's a stock vehicle too. A honda civic could pull that weight without issue given enough time, it's all about resistance, not what it weighs. This really isn't all that impressive. A new cummins could probably pull double that. Plus 100 feet is basically nothing.
Matthew T exactly, that's what my point is
i agree, a freakin human pulled a c-17 cargo plane that's 177 tons...i'm sure one of those "strongest" man can pull this
@@matthewt8601 how dumb are you? Just because it has more power doesn't mean it can tow it hahahahaha logic 💯
That engine sounded like it was in distress.
land rover also do this but wait for landrover
it is 285 ton...?
Crazy 😮
Never try this with a manual transmission with a clutch - at driving up you would burn the clutch instantly
this also has a clutch 🤦♂️
@@wutanglan6381 you should check your facts before posting - the 6 speed manual gearbox was neither offered for the Cayenne S diesel, nor for the Cayenne S turbo, both cars they used for this towing. Bot use the 8 speed Tiptronic S.
The Tiptronic S is a classic automatic gearbox with planetary gears and a torque converter.
I will tell you now.
Auto transmission gearboxes do have clutches. They are multi clutches in oil.
The auto box is for lazy people who don't know how to use a manual gearbox.
A manual ⚙️ ⚙️ gearbox ⚙️ ⚙️ ⚙️ is a lot better for pulling heavy loads.
Auto boxes need to be told to hold in a lower gear ⚙️ manually when pulling heavy loads.
@@Fixing_Everything. the little, but important difference is how you start to roll - with a automatic transmission you don't use a friction clutch to start rolling, but a hydraulic torque converter. If you roll once it isn't a problem any more and a manual would work, but you can't start to roll from 0 with it with a 280 t aircraft at the hitch with a manual.
Tractor trailers for extremely heavy loads (not the typical class 8 trucks, the heavier ones) use a transmission with a torque converter for this reason.
Modern automatic transmissions also have a clutch to avoid the slip of the torque converter once you are rolling with constant speed, but it's just used for this purpose and not for start rolling.
Btw, my car also has a manual transmission - but I don't tow airliners with my car
@@simonm1447 yes I do agree that from a standing start with a static load an auto would be the best in this instance.
Yes the extra friction on a manual would burn the clutch as one would need a run up.
My statement was really in response to what you said that auto transmissions dint have a clutch.
I replied they do.
But I do agree with this what you just said, in thus instances
A Land Rover would never do it👀
Bro land rover can pull the plane + the proche together lol.
Real or fake
The 3.0 ecodiesel can do this too
Tesla: Aight, Imma completely overthrow this.
@Kasper Hansen Obviously you haven't seen the videos of a Stock Model X towing an even heavier plane
@@absolutvodka587 Another delusional tesla fanboy... That 787 model x towed was not even half of a380's weight
So they already had the certificate printed?😂😂😂😂😂
they knew it would do it it's no problem
The thing might way a lot but it’s on wheels so it just rolls
exactly... there r many videos on man pulling a plane...no big deal
@@basshunter8025 do it, i want to see how you pull it
Not just wheels, tires. Resistance is still a thing, you know. And it doesn’t take 0 energy to push/pull something massive, it still takes energy.
@@ChrisWashburn listen yes load that comment was 9 months ago okay, allow my stupidity
In this video we yeet the laws of mechanics... I don't think that that porche has enough power irl... The peak power it's way high up in revs
When towing you need as much torque as possible. Horsepower is irrelevant. The cayenne has more torque than a mclaren p1. And peak torque is at low revs 2-4000 rpm
@@Max-gc3bp yes, you are right but another thing that still makes me think is fake, is the friction coefficient between the tires and the ground.... (Let's assume that the torque is high enough ) the fact that it's doing it without a single burnout it's weird ASF.... The wheel don't have that much grip... Or you are telling me that when that SUV does a burnout, the breaks are holding more that the force necessary to pull the airplane
@@Lucas_sGarage I see what you’re saying. Well the cayenne has very wide tyres and purpose made Pirellis. On top of this it comes down to the car computers which will not let the wheels spin. Finally I do not think a Guinness world record would be fake. The outrage at both companies would be ridiculous. I do see your point though. My only guess is that although the aircraft is heavy it is built to have little rolling resistance, so it may be easier to tow than most of us imagine.
@@Max-gc3bp I think you are right
Brian shaw eddie hall and hafthor bjornson can pull this plane together
I guy named Ivan savkin in Russia pulled a 12000 ton ship ! What is porsche proud of ????
imagine Dodge Charger pulls a plane
If it was diesel, the redline would 6k rpm. The redline is 8k
Pull a ship then we buy Porsche 😊
Vw Tdi engine
Great record - but wait for Tesla's Cybertruck!!!!
Tesla can't tow more than Diesel
Yeah wait for 20 years, cybertruck is just a truck with 192729181 design flaws
Put a ram on it probably cruise down the highway
Why world record hummer can pull it.
A ford f350 can tow way more and I bet my beer on that
Touareg and porsche are pulled plane
Ok so now remove those push back trucks and use a Porsche Cayenne
Some guy with a 750,000 mile 1999 Dodge Cummins is on there way to pull two to their hangars and then pull the Porsche out of a ditch
You have no idea how much of a capable car the Cayenne is, both on road and off road, do some research first
This is a thumbs DOWN.!!!
No way was that car able to simply hook up without extra weight added to the car for traction.
Why didn't you show the full video as to the car pulling off from the start and not like it was going on a shopping run
Bad Video!!!
Try showing it in it's entirety not a silly clip for 10 seconds !!!
I agree, normally a tow truck for airplanes weighs around 78.000 ton, which is needed to have enough grip. I don't belief this at all
Lol any suv can do this
No
Can't do this any Indian suv
@@ruman7000 hexa can
Especially a Range Rover and Volkswagen Touareg.
@@saintninja1586 hexa pulled 737 A380 IS very big aircraft
Still not as good as citreon c3🥱
