Aston Martin Bulldog finally breaks the 200-MPH barrier.
the Bulldog was able to achieve a top speed of 205.4 mph at the Machrihanish airfield, a former NATO base in Scotland. The car was driven by three-time Le Mans 24-hour class winner and Aston Martin factory driver Darren Turner.
The funky, gullwing door coupe was originally supposed to go 237 mph when it was introduced 44 years ago, but only managed to achieve 191 mph in testing. Shortly after, Aston Martin ran out of money and shelved the planned production variant. The Bulldog has since been passed from owner to owner until the current owner asked Richard Gauntlett, the son of Aston's former owner Victor Gauntlett, to oversee a full restoration.
