The bid at Dunsfold Aerodrome, in the UK's Surrey region, set a Guinness World Record.Coulthard caught the golf ball in the cockpit of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Roadster -- although we think it might have added that 'extra something' if he'd had to do the same by lifting a Gullwing door on the Roadster's roofed sibling.The action was caught on film, and is part of the SLS AMG line's ongoing and somewhat novel marketing campaign and to highlight Mercedes-Benz's association with golf ahead of the upcoming Open Championship.“This world record attempt is definitely one of the most unusual things I’ve ever been asked to do with a car,"  Coulthard said in a statement. "Jake Shepherd was great to work with and the performance of the SLS AMG Roadster made driving to catch a mid-air golf ball even more exciting. I am honoured to have received the Guinness World Record for the furthest golf shot caught in a car.”
