The Guinness World Records' record for the largest parade of Nissan cars consisted of 225 vehicles in an event organised by Skylineowners.com (UK) at the Silverstone Race Circuit, Towcester, Northamptonshire, UK, on 11 April 2010. The parade completed two full laps of the circuit at an average speed of 15-20 mph (24-32 km/h), achieving a distance of 3.5 mi (5.63 km) in total.

  Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the largest indoor illuminated advertising sign ; it measures 174.171 m² (1,874 ft² 108 in²) and was achieved by Nissan Motor Co., LTD, at Dubai International Airport, in Dubai, UAE, on 4 February 2013.

   The painting, depicting the front of a Nissan Leaf, was created by motoring artist, Ian Cook of Popbangcolour.

   Usually seen working with radio-controlled cars, Ian was quick to accept Nissan's challenge to work on this super-sized project, using the full-size Nissan Leaf to spread strategically placed pools of glow-in-the-dark paint across the canvas with its tyres to create the image.

   The painting, which took more than 61 hours to create, has been painted using more than 60 litres of luminous acrylic paint, on a giant PVC coated canvas.

   The innovative finish applied to the Nissan Leaf absorbs UV energy and other visible radiation during daylight hours and glows for between eight and ten hours when the sun goes down, making it the ideal tool for the glow-in-the-dark painting.
