Please Call Tom at 803-370-6354 email: Wheels@TheMotorClub21.com. In a limited
run, only 550 will be made in the three years Bentley will
manufacture this car. Please read the review from Car and Driver: "This
is no mere automobile, it is the 2008 Bentley Brooklands, an imposing,
mostly hand-built coupe. The Brooklands is an ultra-luxury four-passenger showpiece designed to
blend great performance and unbridled opulence. It's the coupe variant of the
Arnage sedan and the Azure convertible, which make up Bentley's older family
of cars, a range that predates its ownership by Volkswagen.
The Brooklands is larger than Bentley's Continental GT, and intented
to appeal to a more exclusive clientele. But in a calculated move,
the Brooklands takes its styling cues from the GT, which has become
Bentley's most recognized and successful car and a darling of sports
and show-biz trend-setters since its 2004 introduction. Unlike the
GT, which cribs its all-wheel-drive platform from VW's defunct Phaeton sedan and
has a 552-horsepower V-12, the heavier Brooklands has rear-wheel drive and a
530-horsepower V-8. The Brooklands shouldn't hurt for performance, though; Bently says its
twin-turbo 6.8-liter engine has 774 pound-feet of torque, the most ever developed
by a production V-8. The Brooklands puts this power to the road
via a six-speed automatic transmission and 20-inch tires. The
new coupe is hand assembled at Bentley's shop in Crewe, Cheshire, England.
Besides lording that over commoners who own such mass-produced items as the
$144,000 Mercedes-Benz CL600, the Brooklands owner can let it slip that Bentley
says the only way to accomplish the flowing line where the roof
sweeps into the rear fenders is by individual hand-welding.
This is a true hardtop -- no center window post -- and
its cabin brims with metal brightwork, polished wood, and soft leather. The
two rear bucket-type seats are power adjustable, of course, and the buyer
can customize the the interior trim, including the type of wood, even
the color of the carpets and seatbelt straps. The
Brooklands is named for a famous British race track where Bentley was
a victor in the 1920s, an era when it was an icon
of English motoring and a four-time winner of the 24 Hours of
LeMans. The marque came under the control of Rolls-Royce, and in
1998 was bought by Volkswagen, which has guided it back to renown
and sales health." And from Motor Trend magazine: "In the Brooklands,
the twin-turbocharged 6.75-liter V8 has been massaged to produce a whopping 530
horsepower and an even more impressive 774 lb-ft of torque. A six-speed
automatic transmission with manual shift mode and a locking torque converter send
the power to the wheels and allow for more of the driver's
input to shine through than a conventional autobox." Photos in this listing
