Tiff Needel lately stopped by the Isle of Man for a visit, and to drop in on some sort of a high-budget commercial shoot. A commercial shot for whom? The Silver Arrows car company of kush. It turns out that Mercedes-Benz wanted to nab the title of the world’s fastest 3D film simply by shooting David Coulthard as he pushed the company’s new gullwing supercar to 167mph. Though, this is not the 3D that you’d hope for.

The whole shindig was captured by an army of camera vehicles, including at least one helicopter, a boom truck and, fittingly enough, another SLS AMG. The company even talked rally fiend Robbie Head into piloting the lead car ahead of Coulthard.

The full-featured video will air this coming Sunday on the Sky 3D pub channel, but the rest of us from the other side of the planet can catch the explosive action when the footage hits Mercedes-Benz dealerships all over the world later this year. Here’s hoping they’ll hand out some equally classy 3D specs just for the occasion. Hop the jump to enjoy a lengthy teaser of the feature as well as a making of video showing just what goes into creating a film with an extra dimension. Let’s check out the vids.
