It swept every T2 production title: T2.E New-Energy Manufacturers\u2019 Cup, T2.1 Fuel Manufacturers\u2019 Cup, and T2.3 Club Production Cup.<\/p>\n<p>Across 13 <strong>special stages<\/strong>, the GWM TANK 700 Hi4-T took 11 stage wins; GWM club entries took 11. <strong>Zero<\/strong> <strong>mechanical<\/strong> retirements across the entire factory lineup. <strong>GWM<\/strong> delivered a dominant performance across all three categories<\/p>\n<p>Over 17 days, <strong>competitors<\/strong> <strong>covered<\/strong> 7,500 total kilometers, including 3,400 kilometers of special stages \u2014 the longest special-stage distance in the event\u2019s history.<\/p>\n<p>SS3 stretched 468 <strong>kilometers<\/strong>, making it the longest single stage in six years. SS5 and SS6, known as the \u201cDevil Double,\u201d have historically seen completion rates fall below 20 percent. SS8, through the <strong>Keriya<\/strong> <strong>River<\/strong> <strong>corridor<\/strong>, demanded precise navigation, where a single wrong turn could cost teams hours. SS9 featured a 353-kilometer crossing of the N39 desert, with soft sand and hidden drop-offs creating constant risks for drivers and vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>While many competitors failed to finish or crossed the line with significant damage, <strong>GWM\u2019s<\/strong> lineup delivered consistent performance throughout the rally, turning extreme conditions into a demonstration of strength and reliability.<\/p>\n<p>GWM TANK 700 Hi4-T race cars were <strong>modified<\/strong> <strong>strictly<\/strong> to <strong>FIA<\/strong> <strong>international<\/strong> <strong>standards<\/strong>, with the original production chassis and body structure left completely untouched, no internal engine components altered, and all core production hardware retained throughout. That is what &#8220;production-based&#8221; means here: the race car and the showroom car share the same engineering backbone.<\/p>\n<p>Across 13 stages and three categories, GWM completed the 2026 <strong>Taklimakan<\/strong> <strong>Rally<\/strong> with zero mechanical retirements. It happens because every cooling circuit, every torque vectoring command, every suspension joint is designed for the same extreme durability.<\/p>\n<p>This year GWM brought co-creation partners K-MAN and <strong>Dongli<\/strong> into a shared garage: shared parts, shared technicians, shared strategy. The result was not just wins \u2014 it was a lower barrier for the entire Chinese off-road industry to step up. When suppliers race alongside the manufacturer, everyone learns faster. Lessons from the desert are already feeding back into production development.<\/p>\n<p>World-class drivers including Nicolas Cavigliasso and Pau Navarro raced alongside Chinese champions, trading lines, data, and pit lane experience. That kind of exchange raises the level of every driver and team on the grid.<\/p>\n<p>At the finish line, GWM Vice President Liu Yanzhao draped traditional Atlas silk sashes over returning drivers \u2014 a gesture honoring not just the champions, but every mechanic, navigator, and support crew who made the run possible.<\/p>\n<p>From the Taklimakan to global stages. From race cars to showrooms. From champions to the next generation of off\u2011road enthusiasts. GWM\u2019s clean sweep is not a finish line. It is a starting point. And the message is clear: what survives the desert earns the right to lead the road ahead.<\/p>\n<pre>Contact: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=skfcvScNLDRl9lbGUmZvQ-JRNV7RPQ87A5PMcpTVIChoJHP1V23K580s5OISwAG_dM-lIZ8HenoRKTcc1GeOu49ZVD5PxlVQKBqQOMkykM0=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">globalmarketing@gwm.cn<\/a><\/pre>\n<p>A photo accompanying this announcement is available at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=lBubqfadsyWe_aHTCPM9gSxwTfJz3ydlhaJDDzgHuXtvphF1I-eYikfb99clHnJ3_6woWXSzxP8gL_jBJirtOmKFYm8JWo5T_FGyqkF5jccaddEkd35buJi_eVACE_HS-sotMeOxUvn_VkzbdR83kb7pW22-Cwkqp57x0JLdTDZp1HTx9cfCzN9nEc2-686nFCXxs79xJEGJSsfERa0s3lYmEGe4WmrNOsmJu-T8cnx_5qATeYmIZRigJskbkBS5tkhvK9nLs7PN_k3jW-8l3A==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/NewsRoom\/AttachmentNg\/5585adf6-45b0-458b-906d-74344b03106d<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img \/><br \/>\n<img \/><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AGENCIA EFE S.A.U.,S.M.E. shall not be liable for any information contained in this message and assumes no responsibility towards third parties in relation to its contents, being expressly exempt from any liability that the author may have in relation to the information in question.
