25 hours, 39 minutes
Bob Sorokanich writing for Road & Track:
There’s a new record in Cannonball land: Drivers Arne Toman and Doug Tabbutt announced today that they completed the cross-country drive from New York City to Los Angeles in 25 hours, 39 minutes, narrowly beating a claimed “sub-26-hour” record publicized in May and besting their own record of 27 hours, 25 minutes that was announced in November 2019.
That’s fast.
This is my favorite detail:
Vehicle modifications include a 45-gallon trunk-mounted fuel cell and visual changes, like a reshaped front grille with a decoy badge to make the Audi resemble a Ford Taurus-based Police Interceptor when viewed from a distance.
In a VINwiki video on YouTube, one of the drivers admits breaking their previous record felt a little empty, that it was too easy.
