Skoda Enyaq 'Races' Electric Airplane In Zero-Emissions Duel On Land And Air

Every now and then, Skoda's marketing department appears to be taking a page out of Top Gear’s book to fuel its creative process. After landing a helicopter on top of a Kodiaq last year, another form of air transportation shares the camera with one of the company's SUVs. This time around, an electric airplane has been pitted against the Enyaq iV.

The "duel" reminds us of an old Top Gear episode from 2005 when the Bugatti Veyron driven by Jeremy Clarkson raced a Cessna 182. The major difference here stems from the lack of conventional powertrains as the Pipistrel Velis Electro doesn’t have a piston engine while the Enyaq (sadly) lacks a W16 with quad turbos and a gigantic 8.0-liter displacement.
