Bentley Brooklands Track Test

[jake1995ke]

love how they stayed imperial with engine size, 6 and 3/4 sounds much better than 6.6 recuring..

[ukmk3supra]

@jake1995ke 6 and 3/4 of a litre is 6.75 in metric - .66 would be 2/3rds...

[R2Magnum]

@jake1995ke hahahahaha:D:D:D LOL it's not imperial it's just in fractions!!!! has nothing to do with imperial. and 3/4 is 0.75 not 0.6 so 6 3/4 is 6.75...

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D weren't that good at maths then;)

[jake1995ke]

@R2Magnum ahahhaaha 6.6 recuring is 6 2/3 haahahahahaha my bad...jesus i took a level maths aswel :(

[flixbiz]

Where do you drive this beast?

[Roberto7474001]

This car is soooo gorgeous!!!! I love this car

[narusaku567]

Rolls Royce Drophead Coupe Is Far Better.

[vsboy25]

The car is a work of art and personifies luxury and wealth, people who have got it all can only afford Bentley and that is why they are the finest crafted and most powerful luxury cars on Earth.

[TheMVC007]

This will be my 2nd purchase next to the G650 lol

[s60evolve]

The music at 5:48 is from the movie "The Last Samurai"

[paesce78]

spiktan is exactly right!! all that continental stuff are just heavily modded VW's, they even have a VW engine! the only REAL remaining bentleys are the ones with the 6.75 liter V8. if you're rich, then consider nothing else but the real ones. thus being said, I'm not even sure if I could buy one....because I really hate VW, the most boring cars ever.

[WhoWantsSomePussy]

someone must have lost control of one of these in Japan

[leodevil240mph]

I live in india and that day i read in the magzine that bentley motors have a car named brooklands. I am not going to name the magzine but they said "It is just more special than any other two door couple on earth" Now i cant afford this car in near future but when i watched this video. I just fell in love with it. I never liked bentleys but the bulsanne and brooklands have stolen my heart.

[AwesomeAlvin]

If you are going to get a 5000lb Bentley why would you get a Continental. This is so much more badass.

[frank20091990]

4:27 I just cum in my pants........

[rosenthalmatthew]

this is right bentley

[vibhu007]

wtz the track at 5:48 ?!! 

[dnon75]

Ahhh so much British Humor, can't take it.

[MrThefodacce]

what is the name of this music? 5:46

[dongyongkim]

this car is for large coke dealers think about it inside you cant get a radio signal so u cant get bugged, its mad luxurious and a coupe, and its got 500+hp and a shit load of torque so you can load it up with bulletproofing lol dev one of the sickest British and euro car ive seen in a while

[sirbuck22]

6.75 or 6.8 litre , most torque ever produced from a production v8, car weighs 5,900, pounds, 17 feet long, this one as is costs 436,000 us dollars, my top pick

[denali22]

whoaaa. i live in san francisco and i wouldnt mind using this to cause an earthquake here.

[az015]

6:28 he looks sooo worried! lol

[EASTSIDERMAF]

looooooooooove this car, hold up... i mean I LOVE THIS Bentley Brooklands

[LuckyDT]

Nice to see a true Bentley coupe, not one with VW underpinnings and powertrain...

[bballromper]

How could he beat the snot out of a car like that?

[blinkboy911]

it will be in my garage when i win afford it:) btw.. it deserves a 720hd..at least:)

[ironworkerwella]

OK DEVIL YOU CON HAVE MY SOUL,THE BROOKLANDS HAS GOT TOO BE WHITE ON WHITE THO...LOL CAR IS INSAAAANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

[Kinneballer36]

HOLY SHITT!! This is INSANE!

[JasonB1969]

Spiktan I agree with you about the Continental GT in as much as I don't class that car as a proper Bentley.

That Brooklands is what a Bentley should be like.

I bought a 1:43 size model car of the Bentley Arnage T and I will get a Bentley Brooklands model car as well now.

I also have both a Bugatti Veyron and Ford Cortina Mark 3 GXL.

[MrBmwlover]

16 cows had to lay down their lives to produce enough leather for this car !!

[Horhayj]

Phenomenal use of some RATM in this clip.....I love top gear.

I also love this car, if I'm ever rich (lol) I'm totally going to get one.

[moe6951]

look at his face at 6:30 looooool

[muzikbiz001]

4:34 gave me goose bumps

[flixbiz]

All I can say is "WOW!"

[TrueMemory9]

WOOAAAHHH .. the sound of the engine .. exhaust .. what so ever ..

just drives me crazy .. makes me jump of the sofa and scream : DAAMMM..

the sound is extremely craaazy specially at 4:28 and 4:33 also 4:35 ...

OOOH god that car is crazzy .. cars are supposed to sound more like that .

just gives you a huge adrenaline rush ..

also .. who can give me the name of the tracks they played ??

specially the one that starts at 4:00 ??

I want the name of the track that starts at 4:00

Thanks

[drewerz01]

@TrueMemory9 It's called 'Wake up' by Rage Against The Machine !

[soldoutrules]

@TrueMemory9 are you having an orgasm?

[TrueMemory9]

@soldoutrules

you may call it whatever you want ...

I love the sound of that car ..

it's the best i've ever heared yet ..

[duartefh88]

one of the best reviews evah!!

[yourbestfriend6492]

Amazing that the brakes alone cost well over what you'd pay for that Toyota. Not that it matters to anyone that owns one. And since when is 185 mph not that fast?!?!? That's more than a Ferrari 360!!!! And about as fast as an Audi R8 4.2!!!!

[andrearyanto]

@yourbestfriend6492

I believe that's 5000 pounds for each brake. Makes perfect sense.

[trbossdoggy]

yeah this fool wasted tires i cant believe this

[JunkersGothic]

I think this guy is a little stupid...a Bentley is not made to make smoke with the wheels like a drunk teenager with his new Hyundai Coupé with flame stickers in the sides.

Some people it's not made to appreciate the elegance of the well made things. Probably this guy, if some day he go to a museum will enjoy scratching the paintings with the nails or peeing on the statues.

In Spain we used to say: "The honey was not made for the donkey mouth"

[thing503]

@JunkersGothic uhhh, then why is there a sport mode? Bentley gave him the car to test out, they knew perfectly well what he would be doing with the car.

[Taz1451]

@JunkersGothic "This guy" is a legend.. You ought to learn who he is..

[wreeek]

4:27-4:36 I could listen to that all damn day and it would still be just as good at the end, as it was at the beginning. This engine, the AMG 63 engine, and a large-bore Ford V8, orgasmic.

[yonextman007]

I would slam d's on it and drive it like pimp of the year. Most people that can afford these cars baby them. I would enjoy this motherfucka!

[sunnysang]

costs as much as a rolls royce phantom.... its hard, but id rather take a phatom, even if i didnt have a cheufer.

[cougarsstudios]

16 cows to make a backseat! If I was a vegan, i would be pissed. But im not so i just find it funny.

[Kinneballer36]

What does Jeremy say at the beginning ? For people who have .... ?

[trigliyo]

@Kinneballer36 gout: it is a medical condition: associated to kings (and nobles) in history .

[jetliigor]

This particular model bentley really is for the fortune 500, 80 year old billionaires. You'll see some old rich block blocker driving this car never a young self made millionaire internet entreprenuer in his 30's. That guy you'll see in a Bentley GT or a Ferrari.

[van4ooo]

@jetliigor If i had the money, I'd buy the brooklands it's much grater than the GT or a Ferrari ;)

[yoGOES]

tired of these old brits talking so great about there cars and talk so bad about a mercedes. they hardly said anything positive about the sl 65 amg black series and they talk about this like god himself designed it. fuck this show

[van4ooo]

@yoGOES I'd say fuck you! Mercedes make only cars, not real MERCEDES (except for the SLS, which was made actually by the AMG company and not Mercedes)

[Riles07]

1000 ft/lbs of tourque?????? More than a fucking dump-truck...Jesus Christ

[rayrehem]

@Riles07 1000 Newton meters

[soldoutrules]

I'd drive a Bentley like that ;) (obviously not on the road), but they didn't but the massive breaks and 6,3/4 litre engine in their for nothing you know lolz

[lipos77]

@soldoutrules i would in the road... :P

[hellomellop]

Very un-practical luxury beauty.

[AFW8484]

6:31 look at that face

[Soprano313]

My all time favorite Luxury Coupe!

[Thedeoradude]

this is beautyful

[goingtothechapel916]

i like the continental and the flying spur but i love the brooklands/azure looks like a old school british luxury car

[xellos26]

Wake Up, By Rage Against The Machine, Nice. On the Bentley, Holy Shit! what a car. You think with all the Money you spend on the Car it would have better tires.

Xellos26

[endze]

Or a driver that ain't gonna shred 'em...

[xellos26]

True, You are not Going to Drive a Bentley Like that, in fact if you evan caught your driver doing that you would shitcan him. Right???

[endze]

@xellos26 Yeah, without thinking time

[Molo9000]

Same size as an Arnage but only 2 doors.

ROFL

These monsters have incredible road presence.

[endze]

Exactly, you're not gonna overlook that when it wofts around you...

[AlexanderLindell]

That engine is amazing!

[hadabenz]

even Clarkson wears a suit for this test.... what an exquisite hand-built motoring...

[key2010]

that engine is the most beautiful engine ever .... and it sounds better even than an slr mclaren

[Maxobillion]

Is the quality of Brooklands superior to the Arnage or are they comparable?

[mitch1100xx]

i think i this can be considered the flag ship car.... it is a derivative of the arnage series of vehicles

[Maxobillion]

It's too bad they have discontinued the Arnage though.

[mitch1100xx]

I am sure the Arnage series will return. I think it is safe to say Bentley is the premiere luxury car in the world. I like the continental series quite a bit, but lets face it the Arnage series will never die. i guess that is why i love the Brooklands, it big business, but does not ever for a second neglect its true roots in racing history. no Rolls or Maybach can or will ever be able boast that.

May Bentley continue its legacy and continue to set an unreachable standard in the auto industry.

[mts2hn]

wats the song at 5:30 right before the tyres blow, i know its from a movie i've seen, cant put my finger on it

[valenzuelatomas1989]

Wake up by Rage against the machine....

[waynejingo]

I'm not really into flash cars and I'm not really interested how powerful an engine is or how many torques it has or even the history and "Pedigree" of the manufacturer, I find it all a bit boring really...

But if I had this car I would call it Wooster, keep it in an air conditioned garage and lick it clean every weekend. It is magnificent. oops ! I think I just had a crisis !!

[bmw77777771]

What's the name of song at 4:23 ?

[mitch1100xx]

4:23 rage against the machine- wake up/ i think it was in one of the matrix movies

[IAAFBOM]

i thinck one of the most beautiful car !!!

[JasonB1969]

That Bentley Brooklands is what a car should be. Exclusive, expensive, very quick and hand built.

[spiktan]

Epic !What a Beauty .Saw one at the Motorshow in Toronto and have to say I love these Arnage-derived Bentleys. they are the real deal Bentley(not those other VWs),top notch craftsmenship and no funny playstation gizmos (you get in CLs) to distract you from appreciating the quality finishing. Only the Rollo Phantom Coupe is its equal.

[aymthebest]

5:21 AWESOME!

[roryforham]

whats the song in this

[mitch1100xx]

there are about a dozen songs in this segment.

[keptnplanet]

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful car, and of course vintage top gear!!!

[scubasteve9454]

best sound ever 4:26

[skoutroumanidis]

and at 4:34...crazy...

[aymthebest]

It's funny how the breaks alone cost twice as much as the whole hatchback!

[aymthebest]

What's the music on 1:00 please!

[mitch1100xx]

philip glass- the secret plot

[aymthebest]

I knew it'd be from the illusionist! Thank's alot!

[franzferninlanddd]

The B stands for (Ballin)

[soldoutrules]

i'm pretty sure it stands for Bentley

[NosloTC]

He has THE BEST job in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Roberto7474001]

@NosloTC God yes!!! If he was paid like 10k USD a year, id say it was shitty, but hes frickin rich! :P

[spiktan]

Now this is a proper Bentley Coupe, none of that Continental crap !

[Corbon440]

Heh, but also twice as expensive.

Wonder when a Mulsanne Coupé version is coming out.

[mareks123]

I love these classicaly styled british cars.. Old XJs, Bentleys, Rollses... The attention to detail.. The perfect forms.. there is just something mythical about these cars...

[mondeost2202008]

There is something about Clarkson and the Arnage lineup that always end up in burnouts. I'm pretty sure he'd do the same if he's reviewing the mulsanne -_-

I always loved that V8. It's no wonder why Bentley kept making it.

[caroletv31]

Which is why the Clarkson oaf shouldn't be allowed to get his infantile mits on it !!

[mondeost2202008]

Well think about it. He's pushing the car to its limits =)

Plus he only does this to bentleys or cars that were meant to be driven not driven in. I've never seen him do this to a Rolls Royce.

[caroletv31]

Well he HAS done it to a Rolls Royce!! A Phantom, some time after the first TG test of that car (the video of this vandalism was on You-Tube at 1 time). Clarkson is a hooray-henry yobbo of the worst kind. We should have been able to see the Brooklands driven on ordinary roads where its performance could just as well have been evaluated and other people's reaction to it viewed - After all it is a RARE car, a work of Art that deserves to be seen whenever possible. It deserves better than this.

[ScottTheTallOne]

Depends very much on how the view the car. I view the Brooklands as a proper Bentley - W.O Bentley did after all start by making cars to go racing in. Prehaps you would have preferred to have seen the car road-tested by Chris Goffey?

Whats wrong with being infantile when given a large area of tarmac and one of the world's great cars? Sorry, but i'd be the same - six and three quarter litres of twin turbo V8, and a competition to see who could write the biggest number 11.

Works for me....

[woodc91]

Art on wheels simply gorgeous

[pianoplayeruk]

That's it -  I cant stand the torment any longer. I'm buying one.

[caroletv31]

Clarkson says he's passionate about engineering. But he can't get basic figures right. Fact: it takes 660 man-hours to make a Broollands (Bentley say). >9-10 robot-hours to produce a £10k hatchback (Clarkson). So the Brooklands takes 66 times longer to produce, NOT, as Clarkson claims, 14 times longer. According to his basis of calculation the Brooklands SHOULD, then, cost £660k. It costs >£240k (basic), >£300k with options - The error? That Clarkson exists and wrecks beautiful cars!!!

[soldoutrules]

i understand your argument, but wouldn't think one of the most famous car shows in the world would get it wrong

[caroletv31]

Bentley know better than Clarkson how long it takes to make a Brooklands - Being "famous" doesn't mean that he gets it "right" - He's too much of a buffoon to be taken seriously !!

[Noireglace]

Who cares if he's shouty, and loud and boyish as hell... Enjoy the wonderful pictures and the dazzling curves of this piece of enginering masterpiece...

[LostChildOfTime]

If it was James, he would've gotten the math right.

This car - ok, I've probably found a car i would give up both my nuts for.

[caroletv31]

You're quite right - and we would have had a nice presentation of the car where it should be : On the road and not on some infantile boy-racer track that buffoon Clarkson seems to think only matters - I'd give my nuts up for it too... "Art on wheels...." as woodc91 says....

[mondeost2202008]

You got that right but you're quite missing his point. He stated:

"You've always wanted a sports car when you were a kid but now that you're old enough (specifically around 50+) you're too old to have one"

and at the start of this video:

"And theoretically, It's the perfect super coupe for someone who has gout"

As said by LostChildOfTime, if it was James, he would've gotten the math right but it would then be his own point of view. That's why there are many reviews of a certain car.

[acorntechnique]

You may be pleased to learn that your nuts are safe, at least for time being.

Looks like the recession is hitting some people a bit hard. Considering that only 550 units will ever be built, and that because of this car's exceptional lines, they will certainly become very collectable in years to come, I'm amazed that you can choose from 4 of them second hand for sale in Autotrader UK.

If you want a bargain you get an 08 model with 30,000 miles for only £140,000 (about $230,000 US)

[mondeost2202008]

Wow! you must've thought of that for a long time =D

[ilia93]

want one, want one badly fantastic car

[dehartfan13]

i would imagine that the apocalypse would sound like the noise at 4:35

[OpreaMD]

Notice how the steering wheel lifts up so he can get out of the car with no problem at all. Amazing details...

[acorntechnique]

You know I didnt notice that. Well spotted.

[jetpack1986]

OK here's a question because I'm really confused!!

why did the tyre Hove up instead of loosing air?

[amesguy515]

Hove up?

[jetpack1986]

sorry I mean like rising the tyre's air pressure instead of loosing it! look cerfully when the tire blows!

[leabuelo]

because the heat in the air inside the tyre, makes more pressure

[MyMuggetyCheese]

for some reason i reeeaaally like this car,

so much in fact that i would prefer this over an murcielago for instance

[OpreaMD]

Me too! Theres something about the luxury and the fact how it makes you feel. It makes you feel confident. IMHO

[dehartfan13]

i would be terrified to ever ride shotgun on a normal everyday drive but i have to say i still want one

[yonextman007]

Can you imagine one of these with a custom paint job and color matched dubs. This would be one hard motherfucka!

[DjMoTowNakaMikey]

just laughin at kids like you

[1973MaseratiBora]

Just pulled up next to one of these after surfing today.

It was really huge and intimidating.

[soldoutrules]

A lot of my friends say that the bentleyb is too chunky and ott. But i just love big ungreen powerful coupes, so i dont care. It is just SO cool.

[janis1328]

This car is the single most awesome thing I've seen in so long. My DTS was great but it was a Yugo when you put it beside this incredible machine. I'm just a powerball jackpot away from having one in my driveway.

[in2mobile]

That is real nice. Imagine having the two cars that were at the begging of the clip when jermy was introducing the car. The yellow Lambo, and a brooklands.

[MadnBad87]

He Got scared very bad look at his face @ 6:31 LoL

[dantedshaw1996]

this car got more hp and torque then a gallardo superleggera

[khaninator]

5880 lbs vs 3434 though.

[dantedshaw1996]

so the superleggera is 2454 lb lighter then the bentley

[massivessound]

GREAT. the CAR, the REVIEW, the VIDEO QUALITY.. thank you! :D

[osamaFXX]

I love this car .

[R3V0carlos]

i love that car and i wanted

[lawrencetimmons94]

...and he couldn't do 185.....HAHAHA!!!!!!!

[roberthisanoobagain]

the runway on the top gear test track isnt long enough 2 test top speed-watch the one for the kouningzeggerviking cc, not the ccx

[nobletank]

I want one, badly.

[HenryGarnon]

The most beautiful car in the world... wonderful....

[Aled29]

what a sound.

epic.

[Sensekhmet]

Epic.

[orochimaruisugly]

Originated in Britain, perfected by Germany.

[skinboy8]

I think you'll find that whilst Bentley is owned by VW, the Brooklands/Arnage/Azure models are built entirely in the UK.

[tealightcandles]

Fail!

[shepzki]

An excellent car, love the interior, great sound.
