The Aston Martin 'Bulldog' clocked 205.4mph at a former NATO airbase in Campbeltown, Scotland.
More than 45 years after its inception, the Aston Martin Bulldog finally broke the 200mph barrier at a former NATO airbase in Campbeltown, Scotland.However, it wasn't able to reach 200mph and recorded a top speed of 191mph in 1979.
Due to a number of cost issues the model was never put into mass production, but the one-off prototype survived.Restored to its former glory, the Bulldog was driven to a 205.4mph speed by racing car driver Darren Turner. The three-times Le Mans 24-hour class winner previously got the Bulldog up to a speed of 176 mph at the Royal Naval Air Station at Yeovilton in 2021.
