British luxury marque, Aston Martin, turned 100 back in January 15, 2013 and as part of activities to celebrate its Centenary anniversary, it airlifted a Vanquish sports car 1,000-feet onto the helipad at the luxurious Burj Al Arab hotel in Dubai.

The amazing feat marks the first time a car has been placed onto the Helipad. The helicopter pad sits 1,000-ft (305 meters) above the ground at the top of the sail-shaped building.
Of the stunt, Dr Ulrich Helmut Bez, who was until the end of 2013, Aston Martin motorcars Chairman and CEO, said :
“It is with great pride that we continue our centenary celebrations in such a unique manner in the city of Dubai.”
“We have achieved another world first – one of many for Aston Martin over the years. This is a true feat for Aston Martin and a fantastic way to begin a new century of global success for our iconic brand.”
“Aston Martin remains one of the most exclusive and sought-after brands in the world, so it is only right that a key element of our year-long centenary celebrations takes place in a similarly high profile destination.”
