Auto Instagram video that did 0× its author's usual
An electric SUV weighing nearly 2.6 tons has just driven completely upside down along the ceiling of a tunnel. The Voyah Passion S performed a 360-degree loop inside a closed test track in Wuhan, China. This stunt revives a famous maneuver that Mercedes-Benz popularized 16 years ago. While Mercedes demonstrated the concept with the SLS AMG in 2010, Voyah claims its electric SUV completed the stunt at around 130 km/h (81 mph). To achieve it, the vehicle used an all-wheel-drive system capable of delivering nearly 637 horsepower and 765 Nm of torque. Behind the spectacular visual is pure physics: at high speed, the curved path of the tunnel generated the centripetal acceleration needed to keep the vehicle attached to the surface, defying gravity while upside down. More than a decade after that historic record, this massive electric SUV is once again pushing the limits of automotive engineering. Media: @voyah_global

Why it worked
The video uses a 'then and now' comparison, leveraging nostalgia and showcasing technological advancement. The visual spectacle of a car driving upside down is inherently attention-grabbing and creates a sense of awe and wonder, making it highly shareable. The use of a popular audio trend also boosts discoverability.
