For the third time, the iconic midsize SUV Nissan Patrol has achieved another GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for the Largest Synchronized Car Dance, which has the greatest number of cars moving in unison within a formation, at the Dubai Rugby 7s Stadium.
A total number of 180 Nissan Patrols participated in the record attempt, driving in a synchronized routine in the shape of a giant desert falcon. The Japanese car brand achieved a new record beating the previous world record holders by 36 cars.
Formula One Racing Driver Axcil Jefferies initiated the lead role for the two concentric lines of cars drove in opposite directions around the outline of a falcon, which has a total distance of 1,476 meters.
The shape formed by the 180 Nissan Patrols taking part in the attempt measured 176.5 meters by 225 meters. Viewed from above, the activation looked like a giant falcon in flight over the sands of the Arabian desert.
In 2015, the car broke the record for the fastest ascent of a 100-meter sand dune by a car, scaling the dune in a rapid 4.9 seconds. The first title was achieved in 2013, when the Nissan Patrol successfully towed the world’sheaviest aircraft for more than 164 feet at the Sharjah International Airport in the UAE.
Launched in response to popular demand, the Patrol Safari Falcon, Gazelle and Gazelle-X were developed for and are exclusively available to customers in the Middle East. The names of the new cars also inspired the shape formed during the record-breaking synchronized car dance.
The Nissan Patrol range has an enduring popularity in the Middle East. In Nissan Middle East’s Financial Year 17 (April 2016 – March 2017), market share of the entire Nissan Patrol range increased by 11.4-percent compared to the previous year, with the Patrol becoming the best -selling full-size SUV in the UAE.
