HOPKINTON, Mass., Nov. 22 (UPI) -- The cloud computing company EMC Enterprise just released a commercial with a semi with their logo on it jumping over a Lotus F1, and it set a world record.

If the video looks like a scene from The Fast and the Furious or a James Bond film, that's because the drivers were in those movies. Mike Ryan, a stunt driver for Fast and the Furious and on Terminator 2, drove the semi-truck. Martin Ivanov, a stunt driver for James Bond and the Bourne series, was in the Lotus F1.
