This spectacular multi-angle video shows Guerlain Chicherit's attempt to beat the world record for the longest car jump, which is now held by Tanner Foust at 332 feet (101 meters). Chicherit tried save a 360 feet (109.7 meter) gap between a 20-ton steel ramp and a concrete landing surface.

A 1000hp four wheel drive Mini is a bit nuts, no matter what.

Crazy watching him pull his arms in and try to hold tight in the slow mo part.

holy crap! i wonder if it rotated that way because it hit the takeoff ramp too hard?he owes his cage builder and safety equipment suppliers a big present.

Holy CRAP! He's got a lot of protection in there, but it makes me think of the recent NFL stuff. All the padding in the world doesn't stop your brain from rattling around in your skull.
