In terms of exclusivity Bentley is a master.
Bentley Brooklands coupe has already filled its first-year quota after being shown at the Geneva show in March.
Named after the famous Brooklands banked oval at Weybridge in Surrey, England, which has just celebrated its centenary, the Bentley will be restricted to a lifetime build of 550.
It runs a twin-turbocharged 6.75litre V8, the most powerful to come from the hallowed halls of the Crewe factory.
Translated to numbers the Brooklands motor develops 395kW, about 80kW less than a V8 Supercar, and creates 1050Nm of torque which is claimed to be the highest from any bent eight in the world.
The interior is covered exclusively in cow hide as standard, it can sprint from 0-100km in 5.3secs and has a top speed of 296km/h which is a purely academic number of course when you are talking about Australia.
The engine features a free-flowing air induction system and sports exhaust with a recalibrated valve timing and engine management system. It develops full power from 4000rpm and maximum torque at 3250rpm.
The two-door is shod with 20-inch wheels with 255/40 ZR20 Pirelli P Zero rubber as standard.
It runs spring rates lower than the Arnage T, giving it similar ride quality to the Arnage R.
New carbon/silicon carbide, cross drilled brakes can be added as an option.
