Vince McMahon Crashes Bentley Continental GT Speed Into BMW, Cited for Reckless Driving originally appeared on Autoblog.
According to police, McMahon was behind the wheel of a 2024 Bentley Continental GT Speed on July 24 when he collided with a BMW 430 on the Merritt Parkway in Westport, Connecticut. State troopers claim they were trying to stop McMahon for speeding when he rear-ended the BMW at reportedly 80–90 mph, sending debris across the median and damaging a third vehicle — a Ford Fusion — in the process.
The crash resulted in no serious injuries, though all three vehicles were towed. McMahon was cited for reckless driving and following too closely, and is scheduled to appear in court on August 26.
Dangerous Driving, High Speeds, And A $275,000 Bentley
According to Connecticut State Police, the 79-year-old was cited for reckless driving and following too closely after he rear-ended a BMW 430i on the Merritt Parkway in Westport on July 24. Witnesses say McMahon was traveling between 80 and 90 mph in a 2024 Bentley when he struck the BMW, sending both cars careening off the road and damaging a third vehicle, a Ford Fusion, in the opposite lane.
Nobody was seriously injured, though all three vehicles were towed. McMahon is due to appear in court on August 26.
A Collision Fit for WWE Storylines
McMahon, driving solo in his Bentley — a car that starts at around $274,000 — reportedly made no attempt to brake. Barbara Doran, the 72-year-old driver of the BMW, claimed in a Facebook post that the impact sent her car nearly 100 yards off the road and that she was left “shaken” but unharmed. Airbags deployed in the Bentley and both vehicles sustained heavy damage.
The irony? Just last week, Tesla and Volvo were lauded for their safety performance in new IIHS crash tests. But when human behavior trumps engineering, even a $270K luxury GT won’t save you from being a headline. Especially not in a country where drivers in some cities crash every three years, on average.
Legal Luggage McMahon Didn’t Need
McMahon stepped down from TKO Group (the parent company of WWE and UFC) earlier this year following a sexual assault lawsuit — which he denies. The crash comes as another black mark on a public profile already under heavy scrutiny.
Meanwhile, high-profile car crashes continue to spark lawsuits elsewhere. Tesla is being sued after three family members were killed in a 2024 Model S accident in New Jersey, putting its “Autopilot” system back in the firing line. In that case, like McMahon’s, the question is whether the driver — or the car — was ultimately to blame.
Brakes, Brawn, and Bad Luck
The Bentley Continental GT Speed isn’t just fast — it’s a missile. With a 6.0-liter W12 engine, 650 horsepower, and a 0–60 time of 3.5 seconds, this isn’t a car built for poking around Connecticut backroads. It’s built for Autobahns — and attention.
Unfortunately for McMahon, he got plenty of the latter.
The crash took place just hours before the death of WWE legend Hulk Hogan was confirmed — a man who shared decades of televised brawls and legal fights with McMahon himself. While the WWE veteran did post a tribute to Hogan shortly afterward, he has yet to comment publicly on the crash.
As of now, McMahon hasn’t been charged with any additional offenses, and no civil suits have been filed.might’ve blamed the brakes. But with a Bentley? It’s just an old billionaire in a hurry.
