| Bentley Brooklands |
The Bentley Brooklands is a stunning new model that marks the company's return to the luxury coupe market and reaffirms its reputation as creator of the world's most exclusive coupes. It is the ultimate Bentley: a stylish, four-seat, grand touring coupe with classic British proportions and muscular performance.
Bentley's chairman Dr Franz-Josef Paefgen describes the motivation behind the new coupe: "Bentley's proud sporting pedigree, forged by the exploits of the immortal ‘Bentley Boys' on the famous Brooklands racetrack, was the inspiration for our new coupe, capturing all the style, power and splendour of that era."
The new Brooklands possesses the most powerful V8 engine Bentley has ever produced with 395kW (530bhp) and a prodigious 1050Nm of torque. Complementing its formidable engine the Brooklands also provides dynamic handling combined with superb ride comfort thanks to a very stiff platform and uniquely engineered chassis.
Each Brooklands coupe will be hand-assembled, employing traditional coach-building techniques and the craftsmanship skills in wood veneer and leather hide for which Bentley is renowned. |
