Just think of all the things you could do in a LaFerrari Aperta. You could use it to scream across a racing tarmac at more than 200 mph, rip around hairpin turns with ease or just gaze in awe at the monument to Italian automotive excellence. Golfer Ian Poulter, on the other hand, uses his $2.2 million speedster for something else: trick shot videos.

Normally the last thing anyone would want sailing towards their Aperta is a golf ball. Don’t tell that to the English pro, though, who posted a video to Instagram of himself casually chipping a ball through the open driver- and passenger-side windows of his exclusive hybrid hypercar on Monday.

The clip starts with Poulter bringing his black Aperta to a stop in front of a pitching wedge and golf ball. With Drake’s 2015 single “Know Yourself” booming from the car’s sound system, the golfer exits the parked car, walks over to the club, sizes up his shot and calmly chips the ball right through the vehicle’s open windows. The whole thing lasts a matter of seconds, each of which is sure to make any auto enthusiast break out in a sweat.
