Burj Khalifa, also known as Burj Dubai before its inauguration, is a skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, standing 829.8 m (2,722 ft). The skyscraper was named in honour of the president of the UAE and ruler of Abu Dhabi, Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and has been dubbed the tallest artificial structure in the world.
The Burj Khalifa has 57 elevators, with a capacity of 12 to 14 people per cabin, which can raise and descend 10 m/s (33 ft/s) so it makes a lot of sense why a car certain German automaker decided to see whether their performance model is faster over a similar elevation.
“You challenged us to a race we couldn’t refuse – so we delivered. In our latest Elevation Challenge, it’s a face-off between Burj Khalifa and the Audi RS7”, says the German brand in the video description attached below.
The footage shows the high-performance car on the Jebel Hafeet mountain road, with its twin-turbo V8 put to the test, against a sprinter who has to go from the bottom to the top of the tower, using the elevators.
