Unlikely...

The oldest documented person in history was Jeanne Calment of France, she was aged 122. The next oldest was a Japanese man named Izumi at 120, but his records are pretty hazy. Most think he actually took over the identity of his older brother at some point.

Kahljorn, you are probably thinking of the hydrogen car prototypes from Toyodo and GM.
