Of course We’re talking about the ancient Cannonball Run, of Manhattan, New York to Redondo Beach, California. Above Mercedes CL55 AMG did the trip from 4528,2 kilometers in 28 hours and 50 minutes. This was Alex Roys record of 31 hours and 4 minutes, pulped.

May be interested in the breaking of such, particularly illegal record you for no meter, but I nd it fascinating. Alex Roys 32 hours, 7 minutes is here several times on the screen appeared, and after seeing the documentary you don’t expect that someone on his time from 2006 will match it.

But records are there to be broken, and one Ed Bolian, a (former?) sales director at Lamborghini Atlanta, claims to last October 19-20, exactly that to have done so, in a 2004 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG with around 180,000 km on the clock.

With a team of 3 men, a achterstoel that had to make room for the spare wheel, a supply of plaszakken (?), and a tank that was enlarged from the original 83 to 254 litres (this could 1.300 km in one stint to be taken) was the challenge to (a) out of the hands of the police to continue to b) no damage and (c) to break the record. All three of the conditions seems to be met.

Bolian substantiate his claims with a 217-page GPS-records, which is recognized by Jalopnik. They made the following longread of the whole recordverhaal. We are curious to know whether the lord their attempt also as comprehensively filmed as aforementioned Roy.

Yes, it is, apparently, the time of the break automotive records…
