Juha Kankkunen is a hero in his native Finland. A four-time World Rally Champion, he's known for some pretty unconventional driving, but none of that tops what dude's been up to lately.
For the past few years, Kankkunen has had one goal—to hit the 200mph mark, on ice. Back in 2007, using a Bentley Continental GT, he came up just short, hitting 199.83 mph. This year, he wasn't taking no for an answer. Piloting a Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible, equipped with only a roll cage, parachute, Pirelli winter tires, and light aero mods, he headed off to sea.
Yeah, Kankkunen's balls-to-the-wall stunt took place not just on ice, but the frozen Baltic Sea! Four kilometers off the coast, he recently met the mark, hitting what should be a hard-to-touch 205.48mph. Nice work dude—now chill, alright?
