Bentley Brooklands






To put it in Bentley’s own words, the Bentley Brooklands is “the world’s most exclusive coupé” because there will only be 550 built! The name for the Brooklands comes from a racetrack in England that the “Bentley Boys” (a group of racers in the 1920s who drove Bentleys) would race on. One look at the Brooklands tells you that this is a powerful yet luxurious car.The power comes from Bentley’s strongest V8 ever, and the luxury comes from the industry’s finest wood and leather. One continuous piece of this leather makes up the entire roof! Another factor that makes the Brooklands stand apart is the fact that it has more leg and head room than any other luxury coupe. The four occupants will be housed in perfect comfort and serenity. The only downside to the Bentley Brooklands is that it is not scheduled to be delivered until early 2008, but it certain to be one of the most coveted Bentleys ever because of its small numbers and luxurious styling.
