French daredevil Guerlain Chicherit, 34, became the first person to perform a 360-degree backflip in a car on Sunday, according to Daily Mail.

The professional stunt driver sped towards a 25ft high ramp in his specially built Mini Countryman at an exact 37mph. He then hit the quarter-pipe and took off, soaring 75ft into the air and flipping his car a full 360 degrees backwards.

He then landed rear wheels first on other side of the specially-made snow ramp the French ski resort of Tignes, in the Alps.

Guerlain, best known to his countrymen as a professional rally driver, skier and snowboarder, spent four years preparing for the stunt.

The car had been specially built and modified for the stunt but no technical details have yet been released.
