He pulled it 6.38 meters (about 21 feet) in just 20.53 seconds. The amazing part is that he did this while a sword was inside his throat! Two chains connected the car to the sword's handle.

He achieved this record on March 21, 2012, in Rome, Italy, and it was shown on a TV show called 'Lo Show dei Record'.
