Remember that glow-in-the-dark Nissan LEAF we told you about back in February? Well, it turns out Nissan just used it to break a Guinness World Record! The unique car, which glows using UV solar energy, was recently utilized to create the world's "Largest Glow-in-the-Dark Painting." Performed in London, England, the painting was a self-portrait of the all-electric LEAF.
Motoring artist Ian Cook of Popbangcolour was the brains behind the glow-in-the-dark painting. He jumped at the chance to collaborate with Nissan on the project and take his work to the next level. Cook, who is used to utilizing radio-controlled cars to perform his art, knew it would be a challenge to work on such a large platform, but he completed the project without a hitch. He used the LEAF's tires to spread glow-in-the-dark paint around the canvas, and after 61 hours and 60 liters of acrylic paint, the painting was finished. The entire artwork measures in at 207.68m2 - a number that was recorded by an official Guinness World Records adjudicator on March 20, 2015.
To see how the incredible LEAF painting came to be, watch the video above highlighting the process. We also encourage you to stop by Texas Nissan for a glimpse of each 2015 Nissan LEAF model available now.
