Kankkunen drove his all-wheel drive, 6-litre, 12-cylinder Continental Supersports convertible, running on biofuel. The world's fastest soft top enabled him to shatter his own 2007 world ice speed record of 199.83 mph (321.6 km/h) set in the Continental GT at the same location.
The car was only minimally modified: a set of Pirelli SottoZero II tires, a roll cage for safety, front and rear spoilers for more grip and a bumper-mounted parachute to slow the car back down safely.
