Geely chimes in Chinese New Year with world record
Car-maker creates giant image of an ox's head as part of its celebrationsGeely has achieved a Guinness World Record for creating the world's largest car mosaic as part of the car-making giant's Chinese New Year celebrations.
Involving 750 examples of the Geely Emgrand sedan, the stunt is said to have taken an incredible 30 hours to create, including the formation and then precision parking the vehicles to create the striking images.
As well as the ox's head, a further 1339 Emgrands spelled out the words "2021 Chinese ox".
To make the mosaic, Geely picked a mixture of white and grey-coloured cars that, once parked, measured in at 7070 square metres.
For it to be a legitimate record, Geely had to comply with the condition that the distance between the cars could be no greater than 200mm.
The minimum area covered also had to exceed 3000 square metres.
Finally, Guinness adjudicators had to judge whether or not the image formed a "recognisable pattern" for it to be a record.
Helping Geely set the record were more than 100 owners from all over the country.
