Idris Elba Hits 186.4mph And Breaks Speed Record In A Production Bentley

Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom actor Idris Elba has been rumored to be the next James Bond in the popular franchise, and he could well fill Daniel Craig's shoes with ease if his recent "flying mile" speed record is anything to go by.

On Sunday, May 3, Elba went for a spin in a two-door Bentley Continental GT Speed at a beach in Wales. While he was at it, he broke an 88-year-old UK "flying mile" record.
