Publicity is something most, if not all carmakers want, and while some work on ad campaigns highlighting continuous improvement, some just flip their cars backwards in the air. MINI has teamed up with rally driver Guerlain Chicherit to perform the world’s first “unassisted 360-degree backflip” in a car.
While we’re not quite sure what “unassisted” really means, the word alone sounds scary enough. Our fearless French hero fires up a heavily modified MINI John Cooper Works Countryman and chucks it briefly around a shipyard before aiming it squarely at the ramp…
I can’t wait to see what happens next, either. By the way, that’s a height of 12 metres the car achieved.

sap sap sui la, i can do it easily with a perodua viva n myVi…we jus need the Right Car for the stunt!

I bet ken block can do double that height :)
It crashed and sold to M’sia through AP as recond car.
Recond cars are legal lou chin. Putting compulsory taxes on spectacles is legal robbery.
i see this many time during my balik kampung trip..
There won’t be the 2nd part as the driver crashed and dead.
Sayonara…
looks like mini body on farm tractor
the video stopped la……Cant confirm it was a 360 degree flip….
but
I can confirm that this is marketing gimmick….
Time waster…
Darker Marker: Of course it’s a marketing gimmick. It’s a very well made ad, playing on the word ‘landing soon’. I think it’s brilliant. Although the Countryman is still one ugly beast.
Well, at least it’s not a cartoon advertisement.
Unassisted? Modified is already assisted, why not take a stock and do it. But anyway, the message that they probably want to send is fun and exciting,
Eh, isn’t this Chevy Sonic punya idea? :p
So it landing bandly?
So it landing badly?
it crashed and mini cooper wants to show that it’s roof strength meets the new safety requirements by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS)
