Each car weighed between 1,000 and 1,002 kilograms. It’s supposed to be written that the minimum weight of the car should not be less than 900 kilograms. So today, I pulled cars with weights ranging from 1,000 to 1,002 kg. This is definitely a record. How did I pull it off? First of all, it's a giant effort—superhuman strength. It's known that Thor Bjornsson is considered the strongest, because he once pulled 15 cars weighing about 900 kg each. But today, we pulled 20 cars, each weighing not less than 1,000 to 1,002 kg, and maybe up to 1,750 kg. That’s a real achievement." 22.

The feat was witnessed by media representatives, spectators, and an official Guinness World Records committee. Mahrous, nicknamed "Kabonga," successfully dragged the vehicles over a distance of 10 meters amid cheers from the crowd. Speaking to Anadolu, Mahrous said “This is definitely a record. How did I pull it off? First of all, it's a giant effort—superhuman strength. It's known that Thor Bjornsson is considered the strongest, because he once pulled 15 cars weighing about 900 kg each. But today, we pulled 20 cars, each weighing not less than 1,000 to 1,002 kg, and maybe up to 1,750 kg. That’s a real achievement." This achievement adds to Mahrous' growing list of Guinness World Records. In March, he pulled a 279-ton train nearly 10 meters (33 feet) and holds three other records: the heaviest rail pull using only his teeth, the heaviest locomotive pull, and the fastest 100-meter road vehicle pull—completing the latter in under 40 seconds. Mahrous, who is also the president of the Egyptian Federation for Professional Wrestlers, previously earned Guinness recognition for cracking and eating 11 raw eggs in 30 seconds (February 2024) and pulling a 15,730-kilogram truck with his teeth (June 2021).
