[Click here to view the video in this article]







MINI is attempting to set another world record—this time the British car brand is attempting the ‘world’s first unassisted backflip’.



Using a modified MINI Countryman, French stuntman Guerlain Chicherit will be attempting to backflip the car off a ramp.



While many drivers have successfully ‘kickflipped’ off specialized ramps, nobody has ever successfully attempted a backflip.



According to Chicherit, the stunt required 18 months of preparation and testing.



In the video below, MINI teases the first half of the video—without the landing.



Let’s hope Chicherit lands safely without crashing.
