On December 1, Zydrunas Savickas, a five-time World’s Strongest Man champion, pulled 12 Nissan Notes (the equivalent to our Versa Note) weighing 28,530 pounds over 16.4 feet in 32.9 seconds. The feat, performed in Lithuania at the end of the country’s Car of the Year test camp, was enough to secure him the Guinness world record for “Most Cars Pulled By One Man.”

“Once I got into my stride pulling the 12 Nissan Notes, [it] was fine,” Savickas said after the pull. “Obviously, a big thank you to Nissan for helping me set the record and making it all happen.”

“We at Nissan like setting records and are always aiming high,” said Taina Erkkilä, Communication Director of Nissan Nordic Europe. “Today we are delighted to have been able to help Zydrunas set another world record and see so many people turn out to support him.”

The Nissan Note launched earlier this year in the European market. The little five-door hatchback is built at the automaker’s Sunderland plant in the UK and features a supercharged 1.2-liter four-cylinder engine. Head below to see the press release and the video of Savickas pulling the 12 Notes and being awarded the world record.
