Miko Marczyk has done it again. After driving a Skoda Superb diesel for a whopping 2,831 kilometers (1,759 miles) on a single tank of fuel last year, the Polish rally driver has now set another Guinness World Record for production cars. This time, he swapped diesel for electrons and squeezed 1,338 kilometers (831 miles) out of a car with a far more complicated name: the Audi A6 Sportback E-Tron.
Yes, the same Miko Marczyk from our previous story is behind this latest efficiency stunt. In 2025, the reigning European Rally Champion drove a fourth-generation (well, fifth if you’re counting the 1930s-1940s model) Superb across Europe and back, averaging just 2.61 liters per 100 kilometers (90.1 mpg). Now he's back with an entirely different kind of range challenge, while staying within the Volkswagen Group.
This time, Marczyk got behind the wheel of Audi’s posh liftback, which has a WLTP range of up to 777 km (483 miles), but the rally driver managed to travel about 72 percent farther than the official rating. The record attempt began at 1:55 AM on September 11 in Poland. Marczyk drove along the Vistula, passing through Krakow, Sandomierz, Warsaw, Torun, and Grudziadz before reaching Hel on the Baltic Sea. He then turned around and followed much of the same route back. More than 45 hours after setting off, the A6 finally ran out of battery juice somewhere between Torun and Ciechocinek.
And no, he didn't achieve that figure by putting the Audi on a trailer for half the journey.
