BENTLEY TRAVEL IN ANOTHER WORLD YOUR BENTLEY. SHAPED BY YOU IN EVERY SENSE. Imagination.The power or process of producing mental images and ideas. Most definitions talk about the ability to create ideas in the mind, especially of things never seen or experienced before. It’s why man can create breathtaking works of art. Or write a novel that moves generations. Or build a bridge that is a statement of vision, not just a requirement of geography. It is a word that takes on a whole new meaning when you enter the world of Mulliner. But what is it that will define your Bentley? Naturally, it must be able to devour long journeys whilst cosseting its occupants in absolute comfort. The interior must be beautiful but functional at the same time. It should look elegant, yet exude a certain effortless power. Above all it must give its occupants a real sense of freedom, the sense that anything is possible.With a Bentley this feeling doesn’t simply arrive along with a finished car. It begins much earlier, when you first start to form an idea of a Bentley in your mind.Your Bentley.With over two billion potential configurations, the possibilities are whatever you make them.You’ve already started your first Bentley journey. Only you know where it will end. BENTLEY BROOKLANDS. A RARE PHENOMENON. THE WORLD’S MOST EXCLUSIVE COUPÉ. The Bentley Brooklands. A triumphant return to Bentley’s heartland. Descended from an incomparable bloodline of truly potent coupés. Taking power to new realms. Elegant. Rakish. Formidably muscular. Design language that prepares you for the experience of the most powerful V8 engine Bentley has ever created. An indescribable journey towards a top speed of 184mph (296km/h). Performance that feels like nothing else. A car that combines unrivalled sportiness with sublime comfort, never compromising either for a moment. Its desire to be driven undeniable.The classic two-door that opens up a world of space and refinement for four adults to travel with effortless grace.With unprecedented levels of leg and headroom and luxury for your fellow travellers behind you. A fitting way to complete the finest stable of sporting Grand Tourers imaginable. Unique. Individual. Welcome to the world’s most exclusive coupé. Welcome to Bentley Brooklands. A THOROUGHBRED BENTLEY. A DRIVER’S CAR THROUGH AND THROUGH. Handsome. Undeniably masculine. And exuding a hypnotic presence.With its brooding stance, long, fast roofline and steeply raked windows, the Bentley Brooklands’ sporting pedigree is unquestionable. You will be left in no doubt that this is a driver’s car in the purest sense from the moment you feel the firm, body hugging driver’s seat around you. The potential of 530bhp (395kW). Ready to be translated by the computer controlled, six-speed gearbox and the 20-inch wheels into astonishing levels of performance and refinement. Fly from 0–60mph in a mere 5.0 seconds (0-100km/h 5.3 seconds). A jaw-dropping 1050Nm (774 Ib-ft) of torque ready to conquer the road ahead with a seemingly endless hunger. Whilst highly responsive, intuitive steering and assured body control ensure an overwhelming feeling of confidence and stability. In this scarcest of Bentleys you and your fellow travellers can savour the view in an impeccably handcrafted interior, gazing through the beautifully sleek pillarless sideglass. A car with its own space, its own personality. Its own style signature. Following its own road. The Bentley Brooklands. A rare sight. A unique experience. At Bentley Mulliner there is a simple philosophy – if it can be done, it will be.
