Bentley Brooklands destined to become collectors’ classic
Bentley Brooklands has been unveiled at the Geneva Salon in March and since then it has captured the hearts of customers across the globe, with the first year’s production of this hand-assembled, luxury coupe already sold out. Dr Franz-Josef Paefgen, Bentley’s Chairman and Chief Executive, said: "The interest in Brooklands since its unveiling in Geneva has exceeded our expectations. It is surely destined to become a collectors’ classic.
The Brooklands will be limited to 500 units and will be available for sale starting the first quarter of 2008.
Bentley Brooklands is powered by a 6 ¾-litre V8 engine with an output of 530bhp (395kW) at 4000 rev/min and an astonishing 1050Nm (774lb ft) of torque at 3250 rev/min – the highest-ever torque of any V8 automotive engine in the world.
The new engine endows the Brookland’s with true supercar performance, accelerating to 60mph in just 5.0 seconds (0-100km/h in 5.3 seconds) on its way to a top speed of 184mph ( 296 km/h). In-gear acceleration times are also greatly enhanced, with the coupe capable of accelerating from 50 to 70mph in 2.4 seconds (80-120km/h in 3.1 seconds).
The V8 engine is mated to a six-speed transmission with locking torque converter that provides an instantaneous response to the driver’s demands. A semi-automatic function allows manual gear selection for even greater driver control and, when driven to its potential, means stronger and faster acceleration in every gear.
