Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG golf trick


Former Formula One driver, Mercedes-Benz brand ambassador, and the Scotsman who shot Jeremy Clarkson's popsicle with paintball on the Top Gear car art episode, David Coulthard, is now a Guinness record holder! How? He drove the SLS AMG Roadster to catch a golf ball driven 275m from the tee with the car's cabin as he was driving it.

Pro golfer Jake Shepherd hit the ball with the speed of 285kph (177mph) while Coulthard piloting the SLS Roadster up to 190kph (118mph) to catch the ball as it fell in the car's interior. With just two tries, they succeeded to snag the record holder of THE FURTHEST GOLF SHOT CAUGHT IN THE MOVING CAR. Beat that!
