From our automotive and world records desk: Idris Elba can fly. “Driving a Bentley Continental GT Speed, Elba averaged 180.4 miles per hour over the full mile and hit a top speed of 186.4 miles per hour as he shot past the second marker,” breaking a ninety-year-old UK record for the “flying mile,” reports CNN Money. The drive was made as part of a feature on the actor for Discovery Channel. Commenters remain focused on Elba’s potential as 007.
