The guys at Autocar have had their hands on Bentley’s new flagship coupe, the 530bhp Brooklands. 500 of the 550 models have already found homes, so if you’re interested, you’ll need £230,000.
“On a dual carriageway just outside Florence the Brooklands felt mind-bendingly rapid, despite the near-total absence of aural drama. Only the scenery rushing quietly past the window gave any clue that I was out accelerating a Porsche 911. In a car that’s 17ft long and which weighs not a lot less than three tons with two people on board.”
Check out the full review, here.
