A New Old Man Bentley Coupe: Bentley Brooklands World Debut
Bentley’s recent success has revolved around the new Continental GT and its Hollywood connection to Paris Hilton and other young celebs. Well, the old men in Palm Beach and the Hamptons now can ride in a Bentley two-door without fear of being mobbed by paparazzi. The new Brooklands four-seat coupe will also be a bit more exclusive than recent Bentleys. There will only be 550 built, with production starting in 2008.
Bentleys are all hand-made and can be custom ordered to meet almost any customer demand, but all Brooklands will feature the company’s most powerful engine, a 530 hp twin-turbo V-8, and standard 20-inch wheels. The design is a bit more old-fashioned than the Continental, but the sloping rear and pillar-less windows add a bit of flash to an otherwise elegant design.
There’s no price announced yet, but expect it to be much more than the Continental line. We’d guess upwards of $200,000. For those that like to window shop, there’s a full photo gallery below.
