FOLIATEC Sets World Record Film Fitting Time on Audi R8



blogspot.com-->From the Fastest Production Car or the Most Consecutive Skateboard Frontside Ollies to the Longest Ear Hair, it seems world records can be had for just about anything. Nonetheless, they hold an element of fascination which keeps people wondering if, one day they will ever be able to claim their own world record. Well, Foliatec in cooperation with professional film fitters folioCar have taken their piece of the world record dream with the absolute world best time on 5th June for fitting a whole vehicle with designer films.

Carried out under the supervision of international press members at the TUV premises in Mendig, Germany, a team of four folioCar technicians danced around each other and the Abt supplied Audi R8 in applying the deceptively real looking carbon fiber plastic film in exactly 2 hours, 25 minutes and 16 seconds. Typically, a normal car body needs two full working days to fit, no less a complex shape like the R8. “Although we could have had more people work on the fitting, it was already pretty tight around the vehicle and the extra people would only have got in the way,” explains Marco Kimme of folioCar. For further details regarding the arduous process involved in applying the film, see press release below.
