The Nissan Leaf has entered the record books as the fastest car over a measured mile in reverse.
Driven by professional stunt driver Terry Grant at last weekend's Goodwood Festival of Speed, the Leaf covered the world famous Goodwood hillclimb in 1m 37.02s, setting an average speed of 55mph.
Then, having set the record on Friday, he went on to better his time on Saturday and Sunday, knocking an astonishing 26 seconds off the time.
Grant said "with direct drive from the electric motor to its wheels, the Nissan Leaf can, in theory, go as fast backwards as it can forwards."
