The Voyah Passion S performed a full 360-degree loop inside a test tunnel, replicating the famous Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG advertising stunt, which Michael Schumacher once participated in. The drive took place at a closed test track in Wuhan.
According to Voyah, the car used was as close as possible to the production version: engineers did not remove the battery or driver assistance systems. To perform the loop, the Passion S accelerated to approximately 130 km/h, after which the car transitioned to the tunnel wall and continued moving along the closed trajectory.
The powertrain played a key role here. The top version of the Passion S is equipped with two electric motors with a total output of 475 kW, or 637 hp, and develops 765 N·m. It uses an 800-volt architecture and a fast-charging battery system.
Why is this even possible? At high speed, centrifugal acceleration presses the car against the tunnel surface. But there must be enough speed to prevent the car from losing contact with the track at the top of the loop. For a large crossover with a high seating position, this task is more challenging than for a low-slung sports car.

That's why the video raised doubts. After the first video was published, questions arose online about the possible use of editing or computer graphics. In response, Voyah released a continuous recording of a single take, intended to show that the stunt was indeed performed physically.
