Luxury Coupe Shootout: Bentley Brooklands

    Bentley Brooklands-hybrids cars

    Although it was Rolls-Royce's underling for many years, Bentley is now manufacturing cars that rival their former parent company's. In the Luxury Coupe market, Bentley has two entrants, the Brooklands and the Continental GT. The Brooklands, a much lower volume auto than the GT, is akin to the Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe. The Continental GT, although lower priced, still has all the amenities and accoutrements one would associate with a Bentley. Without a doubt, they are both Luxury Coupes that will be at home in anyone's 10 car garage.

    Programming Note: Today on Saturday 15, 2008 we will cover the Brooklands and on Monday 17, 2008 we will cover the Continetal GT & the series will continue there after.

    The Brooklands
    The Brooklands is described by Bentley as "Exhilarating, effortless, accessible performance for those truly passionate about their driving. Beneath the muscular, coach-built body of the Bentley Brooklands lies the most powerful Crewe-built V8 ever produced, developing 530bhp (395kW) and a maximum torque of an astonishing 774lb ft (1050Nm), the highest ever torque output of any V8 automotive engine in the world.

    Performance figures capture supercar performance from a luxury four-seater coupé. The Bentley Brooklands is capable of reaching 60mph in just 5.0 seconds
    (0-100km/h in 5.3 seconds), has a top speed of 184mph (296km/h) and with an enhanced chassis and optional carbon carbide brakes, provides the handling to match the awesome power."

    Not coming in enough colors one that no one could charge the Bentley Brooklands with. On the exterior side of things, forty-two (42) exterior colors are available. In the Brooklands' interior, twenty-seven (27) "hides" are available. Not to mention a forest full of wood choices.
