Bentley Continental R
I came up a bit quick one of the old-school Crewe Bentleys.
Guy decided to try to lose me on a roundabout (not a good idea!).
He then tried to lose me on a straight (not a good idea either!).
It was a bit like a car chase scene from (the original!) 'Starsky and Hutch.' Except the Ford Gran Torino had 1. More subtle wheelarch flares and 2. better handling.
What a strange vehicle!

Mercedes-Benz Actroses have huge engines in them too!
I think the mass and the frontal area x drag coefficient might come into play.
In certain parts of the country, I could buy property for that money, which would hardly go any slower!

Haven't those things got huge engines in them though? surely it would crucify an S2000 from 60 upwards? Not good for rbouts though 
For a car so vast the performance is amazing though. 550 ftlbs of torque too.
