Alfa MiTo bursts baloons, breaks record
Alfa Romeo broke the record for the number of water balloons burst with a car using the MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde.
The Alfa Romeo MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde has made it into the record books by bursting as many water balloons as possible. The MiTo Aquabatic Challenge was the company's largest social media campaign to date.
Over 2,500 coloured balloons were arranged in the shape of the Alfa logo and record-breaking stunt driver Terry Grant was enlisted to drive the car. The stunt earned Grant his 20th entry in the Guinness Book of Records by bursting 2,738 balloons.
Fans of the Alfa Romeo UK page on Facebook were invited to guess which one of the four grid positions an un-burst balloon would land on. The prize was an exclusive track day at Goodwood racing circuit.
The attempt was recorded using a pre-production Red Epic slow-mo camera. Footage of the record can be seen on Alfa's YouTube channel www.youtube.com/alfaromeouk.
