Pikes Peak isn"t until June, but Bentley is already gearing up for the 12.42-mile, 156-corner hillclimb. Why? Because it wants another record - this time for fastest production car. Last year Rhys Millen nabbed the record for fastest production SUV in a standard(ish) Bentayga, trimming two minutes from the existing record (a Range Rover Sport SVR) with a time of 10m 49.9s and average speed of 66.5mph. This year he"ll drive a Continental GT in an attempt to set the record for the fastest production car. Its twin-turbocharged W12 makes 626bhp and 664lb ft. 0-62mph takes 3.7 seconds and the top speed is 207mph - not that Mr Millen will get anywhere near that.
