Mercedes-Benz has released a film of ex-F1 driver and pundit David Coulthard and pro-golfer Jake Shepherd setting a Guinness World Record for the 'farthest golf shot to be caught in a moving car'.

We told you about this stunt earlier in the month and promised we'd show you the video as soon as Mercedes released it so here it is.

It's a pretty impressive bit of footage. Shepherd hits the ball at 178mph and Coulthard is travelling at 120mph when the ball lands in his Mercedes-Benz SLS, 275 metres away.

Coulthard said, "I was as happy as I've ever been winning a Grand Prix because I was so surprised quite frankly that it went in, and went in so solidly!"
