Richard Hammond says this is the BEST driving road in the WORLD — and he’s driven them all. From the Alps to the Andes, few roads left an impression like this one: the Honister Pass in the Lake District. So I took my Porsche Taycan EV and put it to the ultimate test. Could an electric car really conquer what petrolheads call "the perfect road"? Steep climbs, savage descents, hairpin bends and jaw-dropping views — this was no Sunday drive.
Did the Taycan make it look easy, or was it humbled by Hammond’s favourite strip of tarmac? Find out as I take on one of the UK’s most dramatic drives in silence, speed, and style.
🔥 EV vs The Iconic Road
⚡ Instant torque vs winding climbs
⛰️ Views, drama, and a few hairy moments...
