Car in reverse, how fast can it go? The fact that surprises everyone – Drifts

The cars have now achieved amazing performance, and today we will see how fast they can go when reversing.

When we get behind the wheel, even for those who are more experienced, Reversing can be a real taboo, as it is not at all easy to manage the most complex maneuvers by going in the opposite direction to the direction of travel. Since it is very important to manage it, it immediately becomes a real nightmare even for those who have to get their driving licence, as, during the practical exam, there can be many various complex cases to manage.

First of all, there is the dreaded reverse parking on S, which forced many young people to fail, but also to turn back in a perfectly straight direction, another thing that is not so simple for exam candidates. Nowadays, however, things are changing for those who already have a license and get behind the wheel, since modern cars are equipped with sensors and cameras.

For about 15 years now, rear cameras are among the most used options, and we are certain that many accidents and touching walls have been avoided precisely because of this innovation. In the next lines, we will tell you about a real record that was obtained by a car that was moving in reverse, and you will be very surprised to see these images. Here’s what happened.

Reverse gear, here’s the scary record

A sensational record was achieved some time ago by an electric car, which achieved an unprecedented result. Indeed, an Audi S4eP set the record of 207 km/h in reverse, later validated at 210with the car he drove which was full electric, a project born from the collaboration between the Ingolstadt company and the Schaefflerbasing the concept on an Audi RS3.

At the wheel of this real torpedo sat a very well-known driver, namely Daniel Abt. This is not a new face within the electricity scene, since he raced for many years with Audi in Formula E also achieving good results, before something unprecedented happened.

Indeed, he was fired due to an incident that occurred in a sim-racing house, as Abt was registered under his own name, but had a friend of his replace him, causing a real pandemonium. From that moment on, no one spoke about him anymore, and in fact, this record in reverse dates back to a period preceding his farewell to the brand of the four rings.

In the video posted here, uploaded to the channel YouTube Abt official, you will be able to see this impressive record, and it must be said that you need to have considerable courage to reach those speeds in reverse. We’ll see if anyone, in the future, decides to challenge Audi and the German driver, and also for electric cars, it must be said that this is a great result.
