Earlier this year, a
lot of people drove too fast for icy conditions. But they never reached
the speed of Finnish rally legend Juha Kankkunen. In temperatures of
minus 30 degrees C on a section of the Baltic Sea frozen over with ice
more than two feet thick, Kankkunen hit 205.48 mph. In a convertible.
Although he did have the roof up, so he's not that tough. This figure is
a world speed record for driving on ice. The previous record was
199.83, also set by Kankkunen. The car was a Bentley Continental
Supersports Convertible with winter tires, a few more bits of safety
equipment and some extra aero appendages, like a drogue parachute.
