Guinness World Records has released a video of a German man who set a new world record for the tightest parallel parking job.

Stuntman Ronny Wechselberger squeezed his Volkswagen Polo into a parking space that was only 10.26 inches longer than his car. He did it for a German TV show in April.

However, the record has since been topped on a Chinese TV show, where Zhang Hua squeezed a car into a tighter space - just 9.4 inches longer than that of the vehicle, Guinness reported.

Guinness said a video of that record-setting performance will be released later this year.
