Icelander Drives Truck 1001 Feet Across Water, Sets Record
” It’s no miracle, but a 4X4 truck cruising across the water is still pretty impressive.
Iceland’s Gudbjørn Grimsson has set a world record for driving on water, hydroplaning his custom buggy across 1001 feet of the wet stuff.
Grimsson says that his literal off-road buggy is powered by a Nelson Racing 428 cubic inch Ford V8 that pumps 1640hp through its paddle tires. To stay afloat, he needed to maintain a speed of 54 mph.”
