In 1979, Aston Martin unveiled the concept car Bulldog. The plan was to produce between 15 and 25 units, but it never materialized due to the project being deemed too expensive.
Only one example of the Aston Martin Bulldog was built, and it was claimed that the car would exceed 200 mph, but it was never proven. Now, 44 years later, they have accomplished it.
At the former Royal Naval Air Station in Campbeltown, Argyll, they managed to reach 205.4 mph (330.6 km/h). Prior to this achievement, the car underwent a restoration process for a year and a half, involving 7,000 hours of work. Behind the wheel was Le Mans winner Darren Turner.
