The Aston Martin Bulldog reached the 200mph goal it never did in 1979 at the Machrihanish airfield, a former NATO base in Campbeltown Scotland today (6th June).
The Bulldog was designed by Aston Martin in 1977 to be the fastest production car on the road. However, in late 1979, the Bulldog recorded a top speed of 191mph at MIRA (Motor Industry Research Association) test track, just short of the hoped-for 200mph.
Now the Bulldog has been driven to victory by three-times Le Mans 24-hour class winner Darren Turner, works driver for Aston Martin, who previously got the Bulldog to 176 mph in tests at the Royal Naval Air Station at Yeovilton in 2021.
The Bulldog’s top speed was 205.4mph.
