David Coulthard Sets Incredible Record 18.06.2012

We know that there are some unusual world records out there, but to be honest, we had no idea that there’s now one that involves the farthest distance you can catch a golf ball in a moving car.

 

IF1 legend and AMG brand ambassador David Coulthard used a 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster to accomplish the feat, a record that is now in the process of being entered into the Guinness Book of World Records.

For  the record-setting attempt, Coulthard was joined by pro golfer Jake Shepherd with the latter being responsible for driving the golf ball as Coulthard blasted his SLS AMG Roadster. From 275 m where the ball was struck - at a speed of 178 mph, no less - Coulthard managed to catch the ball while driving at a speed of 195 kmh.

And the best part of this record-setting attempt? It only took two tries for David to catch the ball.
