Over 1,000 cars were gathered to set this unusual world record.
The Porsche Taycan has been smashing world records lately. Most recently, the electric sports car set a new Guinness World Record for the fastest indoor speed record of 102.6 mph, which was fast enough to beat the previous 86 mph record set in 2011 by Tanner Foust in a Ford Fiesta Rallycross car. Porsche isn t the only manufacturer celebrating a new automotive world record this month, however, because China s Geely, the parent company of Volvo and Polestar, has set an unusual Guinness World Record.
To celebrate the Chinese New Year, Geely gathered more than 1,000 DIHAO cars on the morning of December 31 at the automaker s plant in Cixi, Zhejiang, China. A total of 1,339 cars were gathered in total, setting a new Guinness World Record for the world s largest car mosaic. No, we didn t know this record existed either.

Porsche announced early February it had beat the Guinness world record for fastest speed by a vehicle indoors with its all-electric Taycan, after blasting past 165 km/h in a New Orleans convention center.
Specifically, the vehicle to attempt the record was a top-of-the-line Taycan Turbo S boasting 751 horsepower a measure of output helpful in achieving the vehicle’s zero-to-100-km/h time of 2.8 seconds.
The Taycan generally tops out at a speed of 162 mph (260 km/h), but the limiting factor in this record attempt was the wall at the end of the one-million-square-foot Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana.
