  | Bentley drops new Brooklands coupe in Geneva  Bentley has revealed an all new model in the form of the Brooklands coupe at the Geneva Motor Show, and the industrious guys over at Autoblog managed to get their hands on the first images of it. Described as a “grand touring coupe with classic British proportions,” the new 2+2 coupe gets its name from the Brooklands circuit in Surrey, where Bentley used to race back in the 1920’s. The mega-coupe is powered by Bentley’s all-aluminum 6.75L turbocharged V8 developing 500hp and 775 ft-lbs of torque. Only 505 models are planned for production, with the first deliveries scheduled to start in the first half of next year. The Brooklands features a pillar-less profile, 20inch alloys with a mirror finish and acres of rear-legroom in the back.

| Re: Bentley drops new Brooklands coupe in Geneva I'm not sure I like it or not. It just looks funny seeing the front of the Arnage combined with low-slug roof and no rear doors! The rear window is funny looking too. The C-pillar looks kinda heavy handed in its design. Gotta ponder this one for a while....... Gotta see how Rolls' new Coupe is going to turn out. Bentley are Rolls are just leaving Maybach further and further behind with their ever expanding lineups. M

| Re: Bentley drops new Brooklands coupe in Geneva I know I'm going to get flamed...but I honestly like this more than the Continental. This car seems to have more character and class than the CGt.

| Re: Bentley drops new Brooklands coupe in Geneva Well, it came out just like it should. The design was classic & predictable and even it's a new car it doesn't look like one. Just like the Arnage, I love it!  |

| Re: Bentley drops new Brooklands coupe in Geneva It looks good and what the others say, better than the CGT! My only complain is that it looks like a mish-mash of old and new.
