I’m a sucker for good car chase scenes.  The faster, the better.  The more violent, …  Well, not necessarily better, but if done right, then it is spectacular.  Right off the bat, the most memorable car chase scene I can think off and the most badass of them all is the big finale in The Road Warrior.  Mel Gibson in a rig getting chased by the Humungus and his gang of desert marauders.

That car chase has not been repeated in cinema until the movie Doomsday, starring Rona Mitra as the tough as nails heroine, Eden Sinclair.  To make her escape from the quarantined zone, Sinclair and two of her companions had to drive through a long stretch of Scottish highway back to Britain while being chased by homicidal post-punk maniacs.  This chase scene was reminiscent of The Road Warrior, complete with guys in leather and mohawks.  The car that Sinclair drove was a Bentley Continental GT Speed.

The Continental GT Speed is a remarkable car.  Sleek 2-door for 2+2 passengers.  Powered by a 6.0 L W12, it produces, it produces over 600hp and tops out at 202 mph.  It also goes from 0-60 mph in 4.3 seconds.  It’s an elegant car, yet powerful.  Kinda like Eden Sinclair.

It’s also a wonder how the bad guys caught up to her.  But hey it’s a movie and the car chase was fun.  The best part was when she rammed the Bentley headlong onto the side of a bus and decapitated the boss villain who was holding on at the roof of the car.  See the video.
