The Upside-Down Voyah
Dongfeng promoted its Voyah Passion S electric SUV by recreating Mercedes-Benz’s famous upside-down tunnel stunt. In a closed Wuhan test tunnel, the company claimed a standard production SUV completed a 360-degree loop at 130 km/h, giving the new model a spectacular story built for automotive and mainstream coverage.
Why it worked: It hijacked a famous, disputed Mercedes stunt and added verifiable specifics (speed, angle, location), creating a timely proof-vs-myth showdown.
The lesson: Consider recreating a debated pop-culture feat with transparent measurements and location access, inviting experts to verify and media to debate.
