Watch odd buggy set deadly loop-the-loop stunt record

6/19/2012

This buggy doesn't look like it could do anything death-defying, but it's earned its driver a world record by completing a double loop-the-loop on four wheels in South Africa. The stunt may look less than impressive to those who've pulled it off in miniature on their Hot Wheels track, but in real life it's nicknamed the Deadly 720, and this is the first time it's ever been attempted. Both track and car were specially built for the maneuver by Top Gear Live. One suitably impressed YouTube commenter said, "My jaw was hanging wide open for about a minute!" While a detractor posts, "That was a buggy. Doesn't count."
