The Continental GT has been a wild success for Volkswagen-owned Bentley Motors. The combination of distinct styling, luxury and performance (and a slightly lower price tag) has kept Bentley busy. This year, however, Bentley releases a more traditional product, the Brooklands, a large luxury coupe intended to be more expensive and exclusive than the Continental line. The Brooklands features a 530-bhp V8 and Arnage-like proportions. With a total series production limited to just 550 units, the Brooklands will be one of the rarest Bentleys in recent years.

Performance

For many, the way a car performs is a key criterion for which car to purchase. Our Velocity Index helps determine which vehicles are the best all-around performers taking in to consideration a balance of factors such as acceleration and handling.

Fuel Economy

Fuel economy has long been a key decision factor when buying a new vehicle. While the EPA estimates may accurately predict your mileage with a given vehicle, they are useful for broad comparisons of vehicles. Note that many trucks and large SUVS are too heavy to be required to specify their fuel economy.
