Terry Grant Sets World Record with Nissan Juke NISMO RS

Stuntman Terry Grant set a world record with a Juke NISMO RS, the sportier version of the Nissan Juke, at this year’s Festival of Speed (FoS) in England. Grant had six attempts to beat his previous record of fastest mile while balanced on two wheels, but he only needed one. In 2 minutes and 10 seconds, Grant successfully navigated the Goodwood hillclimb course.

This was a reduction of 45 seconds compared to Grant’s previous record, something he was very pleased about. "I was shocked at how much faster the JUKE NISMO RS was, and to take 45 seconds off what was already a quick time, was unbelievable," said Grant. "To break it by so much on my first attempt was a great way to kick off the weekend, and I'm looking forward to seeing if I can go faster."
