Aston Martin Bulldog hits 200 mph for first time in Argyll

An Aston Martin Bulldog car clocked a record speed of more than 200mph on an airfield in Kintyre on Tuesday June 8 2023.
The incredible speed defying feat was achieved on the three kilometre runway at the old Machrihanish RAF Base near Campbeltown in Argyll.
In perfect cool and overcast conditions, the 45-year-old car three kilometers of tarmac and hit a recorded speed of 205.4mph for the first time.
Designed in 1977 to be the fastest production car on the road, the Bulldog had previously managed to reach 191mph on a test track in 1979.
It finally reached those speeds earlier this week, with three-times Le Mans 24 hours winner Darren Turner at the wheel after an extensive project led by Aston Martin's Richard Gauntlett.
