Breaking the 24 Hours Endurance Record with Volkswagen Virtus and Taigun | evo India
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 мар 2024
- Breaking records is something we take very, very seriously at evo India! So when we had an opportunity to break our very own record of most distance covered in 24 hours, we couldn't let it go. This time, we have two Volkswagen Virtus GT, a Virtus 1.0-litre, and two Taigun 1.0-litre; a total of five cars. And we were not going to be content with just one record, so planned to break, and set, a whole bunch of other records. But breaking records is never easy. It's a test of man and machine. Right from the drivers to every last person in the pits, and then the cars that were at their max for the whole 24 hours. Except for that one Taigun which was out to set the record for highest fuel efficiency over 24 hours for a turbo-petrol engine. But that's no easy task either -- it commands focus and precision. All of this also comes down to pin-point strategy execution -- refuelling, driver change, and tyre change. Talking of, massive thanks to Apollo Tyres for providing us with all the tyres we needed to set the record. And on that note, we couldn't have done it without the help of our friends at Rayo Racing, and the rest of the automotive fraternity who had come in to help us break the previous record of 4384.73km set in cars with much higher displacement than these. That should give you a reference of how challenging this is going to be. But, CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

Happy to see all of the car youtubers collaborate friendly and archiving something new together!❤❤
It was a combined effort! 💪
Volkswagen/Škoda are the last true makers of affordable driver’s cars in India after Ford left the country. Fantastic run.
Glad you enjoyed the video! Do give it a like and a share as well!
That speedmaster is such a great watch to time this great feat!
Oh yes, but nothing beats specialised and precise equipment that Chronopulse has, especially for record attempts like this.
Truth bomb. The earlier record of 4384.73km looked very difficult to break, so much so that we didn’t even script that into the story board. But the Taigun & Virtus were so fast, right from the second the flag dropped, that we smashed those records by a massive margin!
EPICNESS MAX!!!
Sirish the bonus would have been to run the Tiguan 2.0 along with its Indian siblings.
Wonder how Verna would be comparable here. Am a Slavia owner but what I meant here is Hyundai DNA vs German for same track condition.
that is the reason, there is a Evo India & there are others! congratulations guys. have never replayed so many times in one youtube video to ensure I heard properly or want to see again. Is it possible to see some footage of those awesome drivers including yourself inside the cars pushing the limits & testing human endurance. 203km/h flat..wow. keep it up
@@NitinMathewGeorge Result would probably be identical. Both of them have 45L tanks. Verna will probably achieve a higher top speed and cover a higher distance because it has 10 HP more.
Mind Blowing...Proud owner of Virtus GT !!
Glad to hear you had a good time Varun!
Waiting for this video since Ages. Kudos to the whole @evoindia team. Indian car market is becoming exciting for performance enthusiast
Thank you so much Hadi!
I truly love this car, I own Taigun GT 1.5 L manual and driving and handling this car is fantastic. I used drive to my hometown Trivandrum from Bangalore its around 750km in the same day around 13.5 hrs of drive. I find Taigun is effortless driving compared to my previous car. Its giving good fuel efficiency of around 16 to 19km if we drive with in 100km. Only negative is hard suspension. Overall highly satisfied and recommend to buy 1.5 L engine.
Thanks for sharing!
Heavenly. Hope, I get to drive on that track with my Slavia 1.5 one day.
For now, the Natrax facility is only accessible for testing purposes.
Getting goosebumps.. how badly i wish to b a part of such team … well done Volkswagen. Apollo.. and the crew ..
Wow Sirish and team.. You make my day👌...Owning a rapid tsi since last 3 years and I can tell you.... Every Mile is a Smile ! 😊
Thank you so much Jiddu, and we wish you have great time with your Rapid!
Thank you Evo team. Great collaboration with other journalist. I was surprised to see Motocross champion Shyam Kothari after ages. Good to know he is heading FMSCI. Such a great rider. Sad we did not have youtube those days. Would have loved to see his races again.
Glad you liked it!
Goosebumps moments! I was following the updates on Twitter and was eagerly waiting for the detailed video. Thank you for doing this. Having owned Virtus 1.0 I know its power but this is just another level. Congratulations to EVO and other partners!
Glad you enjoyed it Vidyabhushan!
This was really enjoyable so much!!!! All the shots , the videography and the atmosphere !!! Simply exhilarating!!!!!! 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

What a wonderful video. Very high on energy . Very absorbing, very challengingv, astounding. What a extreme exercise 24 hours a day . Love it
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is awesome.. @evoindia you guys are awesome.
We, the common Indian car consumers are evolving as car enthusiasts 😊. Thank you for making this up..
Glad to hear you enjoyed this Subhrajit!
EvoIndia is breaking the odds and doing something really different .Full of challenges full of adrenaline ommggg really awesome 🙌 job 🎉
Thank you so much Maahi!
The Virtus GT is perfectly that. A fantastic GT car to explore the length and breath of India at the most affordable price. It can sit comfortably at 200 kmph all day and keep you and your family in absolute comfort with all your luggage stored away as well.
The Virtus is definitely a great car!
That's just awesome!!! 👏👏. Proud of Virtus GT ❤
It represents a significant professional legacy. Heartfelt congratulations to the entire team at Volkswagen.
🎉
Thank you so much!
Proud Taigun owner :)
Happy to see the whole team working together hard for breaking the record❤. That grung should be their man to do this and you have more in you . What an effort man . Just nailed it. And those engines are also monsters 💀 to do this even 1 litre performance is equal to a turbo 2litre . What the 🦆 . Just enjoyed and trilled every minute by watching the video . Uuuuuuu guys are best to do this endurance test❤
Thanks a ton for your love and support Shivaprasad!
I was waiting for it ❤
Hope you had a great time watching this!
@evoindia delivers fresh records and content on a regular basis, boosting the enthusiasm of auto enthusiasts and demonstrating the limits to which we can push these vehicles. I'm quite impressed with the work put into this record. Amazing team work...:)
Thank you so much Veeresh!
Great effort. Proud owner of VW virtus GT plus dsg
Amazing! Wishing you many happy miles!
what was virtus 1.5 top speed achieved? Virtus 1.0 was 204kmph
Having goosebumps as a proud Virtus GT owner!! What an achievement!!
Amen! Thank you!
Really excited for my own Virtus...
Good choice!
Taigun for sure.. m going check the car tomorrow 😊
Oooh! It's going to be a big day! Do share with us your experiences!

What was the AC temperature set in car??
What type of petrol being used.
Octane 95 or just normal petrol
??
AC was not used at all.
We didn't use the AC, only the blower was on.
Petrol used was 95 octane.
Great video and congratulations for the efforts. Just one question why do we change tyres with manual wrench?
Thanks a ton!
VW VIRTUS for sure
Sedans FTW!
Crazy... Inshallah Virtus will be my next car... Proud owner of skoda rapid
Most awaited upload!
We hope you loved it Ashwin!
All the other brands out ther in the market selling tin cans in the illusion of high mileage and low cost of maintenance, none of them can't come near to vw in matter of performance, real magnificent machines, keeping up that constant speed is only a cup of German machines
😂😂😂 yo, since when VW become performance car manufacturer ?
Hi, I would like to know whether fuel efficient car was run ac on or off?
The AC was off, only the blower fan was on.
Wasn't the continuous speed warning alarm irritating for you guys, or did you disable it ?
It was Disabled
Cars are love!!
Amen to that! And that's why we set records like this!
Hey, did i just see an Omega Speedmaste? DEMN ❤😅
Haha! Yes, that's Sirish's watch.
Congratulations, thank you for inspiring us, and if I may ask were any of the cars involved with manual transmission? Thank you very much.
Thank you, Parth!
And yes, the blue Virtus was a manual.
@@evoIndia thank you very much, and I apologise for the follow-up question. Would it be possible to share the primary purpose of the manual transmission Virtus? What was (or were) the records it was aimed to break, and which ones did it to. If the list is long, I'm sorry; you may truncate it to primary ones.
This question aims to give a glimmer of hope to manual transmission lovers (enthusiasts). We purchased our first family car in 2022, and the only reason no VW was on the list was the lack of a manual transmission, and even if a manual transmission trim existed, it had two airbags.
Finally, thank you very much once again, and additional gratitude for including a manual transmission.
Virtus sports car in disguise 🔥🙏❤️😁
Haha! Probably the reasons why enthusiasts all over love the VWs!
Awesome engineering top cars. All of them
Amen to that!
So the flat out virtus is going at about 6-7 kmpl - which is pretty awesome if you have the air con on. If the air con is off, it's ok but not great. What fuel was used? E20, xp95 or xp100?
The AC was off; only the blower was on. 95 octane petrol was used.
I love vw endurance and sirish enthusiasm.
Thank you!
Huge respect for the 1.0 Taigun, it did more kilometers than the 1.0 Virtus despite having a comparative aerodynamic disadvantage!
Epic event by Evo India.
1.0 is a beast, who can think of it touching it at 200.
I had full trust on 1.0, when I bought Slavia 1.0 AT, I test drove 1.0 to 170 at few milliseconds and car was asking for more.
I was thinking it might go around 190, but 200 is super 😮
These are fantastic cars!
Happy to see a Chronograph Watch in use.
Yep, that's Sirish's Omega.
What was the average of fast virtus gt and tiagun 1.0 tsi ( flat out ones )
5-6
About 6-7kmpl.
I truly wish we get to see the Honda City in an endurance run soon.
Hello Team @EvoIndia
Can you please make jimny sand to snow, 24hrs driving challenge video just like you made of thar? Please let us know how is Jimny capable for longer trips with 1.5 litr engine and with 4-5 people
Incredible content
Thanks for the suggestion!
Great idea!
Drinking Red Bull in the morning is like punishing your body 😂😂😂
well edited!
Thank you so much Mahfaz!
Which one you suggest between Taigun 1.5 GT vs Virtus 1.5 GT
Depends on which bodystyle you like more. Both of them are great cars. A test drive should help you!
@@evoIndia I purchased VW POLO in 2013 Aug and Purchased VW VENTO in 2015 April. I drove Polo for 1.3lakh Kms and Vento for 1.5Lakh Kms. I still having VW Polo with me and sold Vento last month to buy new car.
I did test drive both Taigun and Virtus 1.5 GT DSG and i have so much confusion which one to pick and finally booked VW Taigun 1.5 GT.
I wanna see this same test with cars having 1L and 1.5L engines from different manufacturers. Virtus, Taigun, Verna 1.5T, i20 Nline.
Thanks for the suggestion!
What an achievement! 💪❤☮
Thank you Vivek!
i would love to see @hyundai attempt this considering that they have some amazing engines (arguably better than what VW has to offer rn)
Proud owner of a Taigun 1.0 TSI AT ❤️❤️❤️
I feel proud to drive Pol...🎉
The best collaboration of Auto- enthusiasts happening at the right place, was eagerly waiting for this one
Thank you so much Gururaj! We hope you had a good time watching this.
We’re all one big family!

Haha! Happy motoring Anubhav!
Congratulations
Hey, thank you so much Sanjay!
The Korean and the Japanese sedan presently in the market may offer a few interior features better than the Virtus, but the automobile purists know which one to choose.
I was awestruck with cars and speedmaster ❤
Haha! Great cars and a great watch!
Apollo marketing 📈📈📈
What is the Fuel used? XP95?
Yes, we used 95 octane fuel Ashish.
Feeling good as a Kushaq owner 🤙
Wishing you many happy miles with the car, Sameer!
Awesome guys.. We own a tiguan and wondering why it was not test in the endurance test?
would be happy and helpful to get a reply from you guys..
This was more the MQB-A0-IN cars.
Faisal Khan stole your thunder 😂🫠
Congratulations guys
Thank you!

Volkswagen group ♥️🔥🇩🇪
They do make some amazing cars!
EVO INDIA hatssoff guys. Only true enthusiasts does this.
Thank you so much Abhilash! We really couldn't have done it without your support.
Vw should have done 55kmph efficiency test for 1.5tsi as well, we might had gotten surprise because of 2-cylinders technology
Wishing you many happy miles Vijen!
Proud Taigun GT Line owner😊
yay!
The speedmaster ❤
Congratulations on the amazing achievement. Out of curiosity, what was the tyre condition of the 1st Virtus GT after the complete run ? Also, what was its overall fuel efficiency figure..?
The tyres were in a decent shape, and the high-speed cars were averaging about 6-7kmpl.
will an ev ever be able to do this kind of endurance run? Such an impressive feat! 🎉
They just might in the future!
Virtus gt - 4654.48 km
Virtus gt 2 - 4612.58 km
Virtus 1ltr - 4357.21 km
Taigun 1lt - 4423.82 km
Taigun mileage- 29.8 kmpl
Yep, but we did more than just 5 records!
@@evoIndia what are the others ?
@@evoIndia tsi mileage is another level didn't expected that .
What could be the approximate fuel efficiency of the car which was running at 203 kmph ????
6 to 7 probably
@@jaswanth28that's pretty good
That had an FE of about 6.5kmpl.
@@evoIndia That's good number for this speed.
Congratulations
Virtus GT is my favorite car
Thank you Rahul, and its hard not to see why it's the favourite!
For the mileage test , 1.5 ltr active cylinder deactivation could have been interesting
Maybe we can try it out later! ;)
finally Omega speedmaster, getting used for its meant to..
Haha! Absolutely!
Can you mention the mileage figures of all the cars at that speed ?
The high-speed cars averaged about 6.5kmpl.
@@evoIndia thank you evo India for letting me know
What is the approx mileage of virtus gt (4654)
Any guess??
The high-speed cars were averaging about 6-7kmpl.
What a great achievement evo India and VW group 🎉. But I don't understand why you need to change or rotate the tyres. 4-5k kilometres are nothing for a new tyres. And Apollo alnac is a great performance tyre.
At that speed for such a long time, the performance degrades rapidly. But you're right, under normal usage nothing will happen to these tyres in such short distances.
@team evo, You have my meticulously maintained 2007 Honda Civic at your disposal if you wish to throw same test on it..!!!
I am very much sure it will outperform these modern day cars.!!!
Haha! Thank you so much Amit!
Civic is a segment above. It can't keep up with a rapid 1.0 tsi
Great job. But VW doesn’t provide Apollo tyres that is so much talked about, instead they give a Ceat tyre.
Proud owner of Skoda Slavia Style 1MT Crystal Blue 😎✌🏻
Hey, we wish you happy motoring with the Slavia.
why the fuel efficiency test was carried out in 5th gear
Isn't 6th gear more efficient
That would have caused the engine to lug.
@@evoIndia no, I meant at a higher speed
Is it because of drag ?
Please make a speed endurance test of safari harrier and nexon
Thanks for the suggestion! We shall try for that.
❤🙏🏻👍🏻congrats
Thank you so much!
My next car would be Volkswagen/skoda for sure....
Super achievement. Even better being the hideous chrome deleted cars newly released. 😊
Tigun 1.0 liter on road mileage?
The high-speed cars were averaging about 6-7kmpl.
