Professional stunt driver Terry Grant, who thrilled the crowds at the 2011 Goodwood Festival of Speed by driving a Nissan Juke up the 1.86-kilometre hillclimb course on two wheels, will now attempt to set a Guinness record for the fastest time in reverse with a Nissan LEAF.
"The LEAF Reverse Record isn't going to be easy and will be very challenging," he confessed. "I'd prefer to do it on a nice straight and level strip of tarmac rather than on Lord March's drive. The hill not only climbs, but is also full of twists, turns and obstacles.''
The attempt is part of Nissan's ambitious social media-driven campaign, The Big Turn On, which aims to prove that the LEAF is not only environmentally friendly, but also safe, economical to run, practical, and fun to drive.
