Chilling with Kankkunen

High temperatures are sweeping across half of Europe, where in some countries, they are exceeding 40 °C. In order to beat the heat in the height of summer, we are going back to winter for a short spell with world rally champion #juhakankkunen, KKK, is testing the #ateca on a frozen lake in the north of Finland, only 200 kilometres away from the Arctic Circle.


-Driving in a refrigerator: Winter in Finland lasts six months, making it the longest season of the year. With temperatures that reach 20 °C below zero, Kankkunen has driven the #ateca without perspiring a single drop.


-Gliding across a giant ice lolly: Lake Pikku-Nissi is one of the country’s 188,000 bodies of water. Although the summer landscape is completely different, the winter cold freezes the surface of the lake, creating a 90 cm thick layer of ice that cars can safely drive on.
