Bentley Brooklands


Bentley Brooklands is a powerful and muscular luxury car inspired by the exploits of the 'Bentley Boys' at the famous Brooklands racetrack in the 1920s. The grand touring coupe captures all the panache, power and splendour of that era. Bentley Brooklands has a strictly limited lifetime production of 550 cars.

Brooklands is a perfect amalgam of Bentley's traditional coach-building skills, and state-of-the art design and engineering sophistication. The 'floating' rear screen with its lower edge sitting well above the upper edge of the boot lid provides a flowing, flawless line to the back of the car. Bentley's famed craftsmanship skills in wood veneers and leather hides are evident in Brooklands interiors.

Bentley Brooklands has distinctly sporting character, which is complemented by its interior design aspects such as aluminium foot pedals and footrest. The interior design enhances the sleek profile of the elegant exterior by offering a new, single-piece, hide-trimmed roof lining which flows uninterrupted from the front windscreen to the rear of the car.

Bentley Brooklands is equipped with a powerful crewe-built V8 engine which develops a peak power of 530bhp (395kW) and a maximum torque of 1050Nm.

Bentley Azure


Bentley Azure is a luxury car with exquisite design and cutting-edge technology. Bentley has employed traditional techniques of craftsmanship in the building of Azure. Individuality of finish and flexibility of design are the hallmark of Bentley's craftsmanship.

The veneer leaves used in Bentley Azure's interiors are just 0.6mm thick and are given five coats of lacquer and three days of curing time before being wax polished by hand. Bentley combines precision technology and traditional craft skills to produce a perfect finish. The luxurious leather surrounds used in Azure's interiors are made of more than dozen separate hides. To ensure that there is no variation in texture between the different hides, they are selected and cut at the same time after being minutely inspected for imperfections.

Bentley Azure is powered by the twin-turbocharged 6.75 litre V8 engine. It delivers a peak power of 450bhp (336kW) and a top speed of 171mph (274km/h). Bentley Azure is equipped with latest active and passive safety systems. It has a roll-over protection system installed behind the rear seats, which is activated automatically should the car detect the risk of a roll-over.

Bentley Arnage


Bentley Arnage is an exquisite combination of huge reserves of understated power and peerless elegance and styling. Bentley Arnage luxury cars are available in three variants: Arnage R, Arnage T, and Arnage RL.

Arnage R is an epitome of refinement, which is evident in its meticulously handcrafted interiors, sensuous leather hides, and above all in its performance on the road. Arnage R is equipped with 6.75 litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine that delivers a peak power of 450bhp (336kW) in a smooth and progressive manner.

Arnage T is one of the most powerful cars in the world. Its 6.75 litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine delivers 500bhp (373kW) of peak power and a maximum torque of 1,000Nm. It can attain a maximum speed of 179mph (288km/h).

Arnage RL is a grand touring limousine with a long wheelbase, which allows for additional space, comfort, and exquisite detailing. Arnage RL is equipped with the same engine as Arnage R.

Bentley Arnage comes with latest safety features. It has micro-alloy ventilated discs which are complemented by six additional braking and traction systems for supreme control under all conditions. Other safety features include ABS, hydraulic brake assist and the ASR traction control system, the Electronic Stability Programme (ESP), Electronic Brake Pressure Distribution, and an MSR engine drag torque control.
