Porsche has pulled off a unique stunt involving the world's largest aircraft, the Roc, to showcase its new Cayenne Electric.
The event took place at California's Mojave Air and Space Port.

Instead of a drag race, Porsche aimed to keep the Cayenne Electric precisely positioned between Roc's two fuselages as the plane accelerated down the runway and took off.
The goal was to demonstrate precision, stability, and power.
Precision Driving at High Speed
Driver Patrick Long had to maintain a perfect line at 167 mph (269 km/h) to avoid the jet blast from Roc's six engines, which produce 340,500 lbs of thrust.
Being too far back could have thrown the SUV into the air, while too far forward risked hitting the landing gear.
Long described the experience as one of the most focused and intense moments of his life.

He relied on the Cayenne's performance and the pilots of Roc to execute the maneuver safely.
The Cayenne Electric used for the stunt is the flagship Turbo version, with dual electric motors producing 1,138 hp and 1,106 lb-ft of torque.
Its hefty 5,831-lb (2,645 kg) curb weight helped it remain stable against the jet blast.
Roc, the plane with the widest wingspan on Earth, can take off at up to 1.3 million pounds (589,670 kg).
