The Automobile Car Blog have published a review of the 2009 Bentley Brooklands supercar. 'All 18 feet of the Brooklands is a close cousin to the convertible Azure but with a hard roof hand-welded into place, a process requiring 110 hours of flying sparks. Both cars trace their Crewe-cut roots to the Arnage, launched in the ’90s, and all three are thus the old-style “true British” Bentleys, untainted by the Johnny-come-lately VW engineers who were responsible for the Continental Flying Spur, GTC, and GT. The latter drive like modern supercars.
The former drive like really, really fast Olds 98 Regencys. Well, that’s an exaggeration, but keep in mind that the twin-turbo, pushrod 6.75-liter V-8, a derivative of a Packard design, has been in constant use since 1959, a year when Warhol—known as the “white mole of Union Square”—was still churning out ink drawings of shoes for ads.'
