Car brand offering bungee jumps to potential customers
Up to 100 jumps are being offered free on a first-come, first-served basis.
Aptly named electric car brand Leapmotor is behind the initiative.
It's hoped the bungee jumps will inspire motorists yet to go electric to take the leap.
There's a bungee ride in Scotland. On it, people are dropped into pitch blackness 😱 — The Random Guy (@RandomTheGuy_) May 15, 2025
Anyone brave enough to bungee will enjoy a full panoramic view of London before they jump.
They'll get the chance to take in iconic landmarks such as The Shard, The London Eye, and The BT Tower in full view as they hurtle towards the ground.
Damien Dally, MD of Leapmotor UK, said: 'The thought of doing a bungee jump will be quite a daunting one for many.
'But sometimes you need to get out of your comfort zone and take a leap – like making the switch to electric.
'So, if you fancy stepping out of your comfort zone, please come down to Coram's Fields and say hello.'
Leapmotor officially launched in the UK in early 2025 with its city car, the T03, and its family-focused SUV, the C10.
The manufacturer has partnered with Stellantis, one of the largest car brands in the world, to distribute its vehicles nationwide at 46 dealerships.

Damien Dally added: 'As for our pop-up dealership, we couldn't think of a more fitting way to launch our brand into the UK by helping Brits literally take the ultimate leap, a bungee jump from 160-feet-tall crane.
'Leapmotor is on a mission to be the best value EV brand in the UK and make electric driving accessible to everyone.
'It is clear many drivers are still nervous about making the switch to electric, but we believe our offering is the perfect first step into electric.'
