The 62 story building, created by late architect Zaha Hadid, has a helipad on the roof and that’s where the action went down on Wednesday. How the heck did he get up there? Coulthard’s car was lifted by crane on top of the soaring skyscraper in downtown, then he revved things up.

“Iconic,” DC said after the stunt. “To coin an American phrase, that was awesome!”
