Doha, Qatar – August 22, 2026: Blue Lake Motors, a subsidiary of Al Mana Holding, proudly announces that Zeekr 7X has earned a Guinness World Records™ title for the tightest gap passed through whilst drifting an electric car, successfully passing through a gap with an astonishing clearance of just 25 centimetres.
The record was officially achieved at Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi, showcasing the exceptional precision, stability, and dynamic control of the Zeekr 7X. The achievement demonstrates the advanced capabilities of Zeekr's intelligent electric vehicle platform and reinforces the brand's commitment to engineering excellence and innovation.
The Zeekr 7X's record-setting performance is underpinned by a combination of advanced chassis engineering and intelligent vehicle control systems. Its front double wishbone suspension delivers exceptional steering precision and responsiveness, faithfully translating driver inputs into accurate vehicle movement. The high-output rear electric motor provides instant, precisely controllable torque, enabling smooth, sustained drifts while allowing fine adjustments to the vehicle's direction through throttle modulation. Complementing these systems, the Sustainable Experience Architecture (SEA) provides exceptional body rigidity and a low centre of gravity, enhancing stability, balance, and driver confidence under extreme driving conditions.
The record attempt formed the centrepiece of Zeekr's global celebrations marking its fifth anniversary. Since its launch in 2021, Zeekr has rapidly established itself as a premium intelligent electric mobility brand, continually pushing the boundaries of design, technology, safety, and performance. This latest Guinness World Records™ achievement reflects the brand's relentless pursuit of innovation and serves as a powerful demonstration of the engineering excellence behind the Zeekr 7X.
"Achieving a Guinness World Records title is a proud milestone for Zeekr and a fitting way to celebrate our fifth anniversary," said Mr. Mars Chen, Vice President of Zeekr. "The Zeekr 7X embodies our commitment to intelligent engineering, precision, and performance. This achievement demonstrates the strength of our technology and reinforces our ambition to continue redefining premium electric mobility through innovation."
Moncef Ahabchane, Chief Operating Officer, Blue Lake Motors, "Zeekr's Guinness World Records™ achievement is a testament to the innovation, engineering excellence and performance that continues to set the brand apart in the premium electric vehicle segment. At Blue Lake Motors, we are proud to bring these global achievements closer to customers in Qatar, where interest in advanced electric mobility continues to grow. This milestone further reinforces our confidence in the Zeekr lineup and our commitment to offering customers vehicles that combine cutting-edge technology, exceptional quality and an ownership experience that meets the expectations of today's drivers while supporting Qatar's vision for a more sustainable future."
The celebration continued, when more than 200 Zeekr owners, customers, partners, and members of the UAE media gathered at Yas Marina Circuit to commemorate both the world record achievement and Zeekr's five-year journey.
