@aurizn: Remember that incredible SLS AMG video where Michael Schumacher drove 360° around the inside of a tunnel? That was CGI. 16 years later, China actually did it for real — and not with a supercar. - It was the new VOYAH Passion S (岚图追光S), a 5.05-metre-long electric SUV starting from ¥223,900 (around US$31,000). And this isn't some stripped-out track special either. It's the kind of fully loaded Chinese SUV that comes with a 6.6-litre fridge, dual 15.6-inch screens, zero-gravity seats with heating, ventilation and 10-point massage, a 29-inch AR-HUD, HarmonyOS Cockpit 5.2 and Huawei's latest Qiankun ADS 5 driver-assistance system with four LiDARs. Then they sent it around the ceiling of a tunnel. - When VOYAH first released the footage, plenty of people thought it had to be AI or CGI — especially because videos from the shoot showing earlier failed attempts were already circulating online. That created an obvious theory: they tried it for real, couldn't do it, then faked the successful run. Except they eventually pulled it off. The car accelerated to around 130 km/h, entered the tunnel wall at a precise 16° steering angle, climbed the curved surface, went completely upside down across the ceiling and returned to the ground. - There was one very sensible precaution: nobody was inside. The car was remotely driven by a human operator outside the vehicle. It wasn't autonomous driving — someone was still actively controlling the Passion S in real time, but VOYAH wasn't going to risk a driver's life just to recreate an advertisement. - After the accusations, the team released footage from multiple perspectives, including the empty cabin, while VOYAH showed an uninterrupted recording of the successful run.
