Precision driving has a new electric benchmark, and it comes from the Zeekr 7X.
Blue Lake Motors, a subsidiary of Al Mana Holding, is celebrating the model’s Guinness World Records title after it passed through an exceptionally narrow gap while drifting at Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi.
The successful run left just 25 centimetres of clearance, turning a technical demonstration into a sharp statement about electric control, chassis balance and repeatable performance.
At a glance
- The Zeekr 7X has earned a Guinness World Records title for the tightest gap passed through whilst drifting an electric car.
- The record was set at Yas Marina Circuit with a clearance of just 25 centimetres.
- Blue Lake Motors is highlighting the achievement in Qatar, with test drives available through the Zeekr showroom in Msheireb Downtown Doha.
A precision record at Yas Marina
The record attempt took place at Yas Marina Circuit, a venue better known for high-speed racing than centimetre-level drift accuracy.
For an electric car, the challenge is especially revealing because sustained drifting depends on fast torque response, stable weight transfer and fine control at the edge of grip.
The Zeekr 7X completed the pass with only 25 centimetres to spare, securing the Guinness World Records title for the tightest gap passed through whilst drifting an electric car.
The run formed part of Zeekr’s global fifth anniversary celebrations, bringing together more than 200 owners, customers, partners and UAE media at the Abu Dhabi circuit.
The hardware behind the slide
The 7X’s performance is tied closely to the way Zeekr has packaged its intelligent electric vehicle platform.
A front double wishbone suspension layout is used to sharpen steering response and keep the driver’s inputs clean and predictable.
At the rear, a high-output electric motor delivers immediate torque that can be modulated with precision, which matters when the car is being held in a controlled drift rather than simply accelerated in a straight line.
The model also uses Zeekr’s Sustainable Experience Architecture, known as SEA, which contributes to body rigidity and a low centre of gravity.
Those elements help the car remain balanced under extreme driving conditions, where stability and adjustability are just as important as outright power.
What it means for Zeekr in Qatar
For Blue Lake Motors, the record gives Zeekr a tangible performance story at a time when interest in advanced electric mobility is growing in Qatar.
Moncef Ahabchane, Chief Operating Officer of Blue Lake Motors, described the achievement as a reflection of the innovation, engineering and performance that continue to define the brand’s position in the premium electric vehicle segment.
He also noted the company’s focus on bringing Zeekr’s global milestones closer to customers in Qatar through vehicles that combine technology, quality and an ownership experience aligned with modern expectations.
