Bentley Brooklands

[Mark JB]

I want you to get one just so we can have a "loaf on the bonnet" of a Bentley

I'd rather drive than be driven. The Phantom was nice at the Burj-Al-Arab though. Tricky choice

Heh, I guess if you have the 997 Turbo, the Brooklands would be a fine shopping trolley

I think these are awesome So much more rare and presence than the "new" style Bentleys. The Brooklands looks fantastic!

I was quite happy on first impressions to see the more classic front end, but it all goes quite wrong at the back. The CGT is a disgrace that doesn't deserve holding the badge, the only one I'd be tempted by is the Arnage and the older Continental SC/Azure

Now this looks nice.

Hi there

I say get one, about time you expanded your garage a bit.

Also first dibs on the M5 as company car please.

It's got so much presence. Love it.

Posting this much about a car can only mean one thing

 

[Vibez]

It looks very cumbersome and dated IMO, also for that type of luxury car I'm suprised it's a coupe'

 

[Duke]

Not my cup of tea, but certainly a head turner.

Spot the difference.

much more appealing than a 997 turbo...

or...

get a presidential-spec DS and a 993 turbo?

I think it looks fantastic, absolutely love the rims too. Reminds me of old american "gangster" type cars seen in films like Casino.

 

[cdcopyman]

thats what i call 'you got it made' car ! stunning! as you said spie , it has a wealth of pressence!

 

[Entai]

That is gorgeous.

Is that the same turbocharged engine as in the Continental? Surely it should be supercharged if it to truly hark back to the "Bentley Boys" Brooklands heritage.

If it is to be the next occupant of the Spie garage, does that mean we could soon see you 4 up with a car full of Dons, a boot full of golf clubs (more likely a few crates of Stella after a quick booze cruise) relaxing with the air con on full chat floating gently down the autobahns at over 200mph!! on your way to the ring to see what it can really do!!!

Bentley are also developing a Bio fuel engine, not sure what they are putting it in.

Spot the difference.

The rear quarter actually suits this car?

The Bentley looks 5* at the front, but the back end? It doesn't gel with the rest of the car to my eyes. It looks too hunched and short.

Willy waving tbh





















































































Someone buy me one please?

 

[penski]

the problem with bentley at the moment is that VWs attempts to keep the marque afloat have resulted in it being watered down.

every property developer and corner shop owner the length and breadth of the country has a skoda tudor (sorry - continental gt).

whilst vehicles such as the brooklands do maintain the bentley bloodline, should the name be kept to these and the rebadged phaetons and so forth be given another?

*looks at original concept sketches [linked by Spie, above]*

*looks at final build photographs*

*shudders*

The lesson here, car designer ladies and gentlemen, is: mess around with the height of the roofline at your peril.

What a shame.
