How three daredevils broke record for the notorious Cannonball Run after driving...

• https://www.dailymail.co, By LEAH MCDONALD

Three men have broken a record for competing a Cannonball Run which involves driving cross-country from New York to Los Angeles in the shortest amount of time possible.

Arne Toman, Doug Tabbutt, and Berkeley Chadwick pulled off the impressive feat after driving from Manhattan and pulled into the Portofino Hotel in Redondo Beach in less than 27 and a half hours, Road and Track reported. 

The Cannonball run, as it is known, is controversial as it involves breaking traffic laws. However the race has been attempted over 20 times and none have done it in as fast a time until now. 

Ed Bolian and Dave Black were the last group that broke the Cannonball record when they made the drive in 28 hours and 50 minutes in 2013, Road and Track reported.  

And the latest trio made the cross-country drive in a custom-built 2015 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG Sedan, which came after hundreds of hours of preparation.

Toman told the outlet: 'I didn't want to break the record by minutes. I didn't want anyone else trying and I didn't want to do it again.
