2009 Bentley Brooklands Coupe - MotorWeek Retro

The Brooklands is powered by a 6.75-litre Rolls-Royce twin-turbocharged OHV V8 engine,[3] producing 530 hp (395 kW)[3] and 1,050 N⋅m (774 lbf⋅ft), the highest torque ever developed by a production V8 engine using petrol (there are diesel V8s producing more). It was featured on Top Gear in series 11 by Jeremy Clarkson, and due to the car having so much torque, one of the car's tires blew out during a powerslide after prolonged aggressive driving with its traction control off. It can achieve 0 to 60 mph (0 to 97 km/h) in around 5.0 seconds,[3] and a top speed in the region of 296 km/h (183.9 mph).[3] With an optional Carbon fibre-reinforced Silicon Carbide (C/SiC) ceramic composite braking system with 14-inch SGL Carbon brake discs (only with 20-inch wheels),[3] the new Brooklands offers more stopping power than any other passenger vehicle currently available for purchase. This coupé lacks a "B" pillar
The Bentley Brooklands Coupé is a two-door hardtop coupé version of the Bentley Azure convertible (itself related to the Bentley Arnage). As a hand-assembled car made in very small numbers, employing traditional coach-building techniques and craftsmanship skills in wood and leather, the Brooklands Coupé is the true successor to the discontinued Bentley Continental R and T.[citation needed] Lifetime production is planned for 550 cars, and deliveries started in the first half of 2008

O-M-F-G WHAT IS THAT THING? i like it. im just in shock bcuz i have never seen or heard of this car til just now...and im like an uberenthusiast so i thought i knew about just about every car. whoa! Introduced in 2008-2009? Haha that was the wrong time for Bentley to introduce a new car, let alone a coupe.

Last of the classic looking Bentley coupes. If I ever win in the lottery, I'm buying one. Or two. Doug DeMuro did a review of the Brooklands couple of years ago.

This just goes to show how insanely timeless that first gen Bentley Continental GT introduced in 2003 as a 2004 model year is.

Your title is wrong. It should be 2009 not 2000. John Davis says 2009

2009 video, quality from 1978

122.1 inches wheelbase...about as long as a Chevy Surburban. For a two door coupe.🤯

[@jonathansmith1590]

The taillamps remind me of a Rolls-Royce Ghost or Phantom 🤔
