Juha Kankkunen, “The Flying Finn”, a four-time World Rally Champion, has just set a new record for driving on ice. Kankkunen drove a modified Bentley Continental Supersports on the Baltic Sea off the coast Finland to a speed of 205.48mph (336.95 km/h). It was fitted with a roll-cage that was heavy-duty. To improve traction on ice, the wheels were covered in Pirelli SottoZero II winter tire. A bumper-mounted parachute was also fitted to the car to bring it to a safe stop.
