Bentley Brooklands Coupe:
The Bentley Brooklands Coupé will be hand-assembled, employing traditional coach-building techniques and craftsmanship skills in wood veneer and leather hide. Lifetime production is planned for 550 cars, with deliveries expected to start in the first half of 2008.
The Brooklands is powered by a twin-turbocharged 6 ¾-litre V8 engine producing 530 bhp (395 kW) and 1050 Nm (774 ft·lbf), the highest torque ever developed by a production V8 engine. It can achieve 0-60 mph in around 5 seconds, and a top speed in the region of 296 km/h (184 mph). With an optional ceramic braking system and 14 inch rotors the new Brooklands offers more stopping power than any passenger vehicle currently available for purchase.
Specification:
Max Power: 530 bhp (395 kW) @ 4000 rpm
Peak Torque: 1,050 N·m (774 lb·ft) @ 3250 rpm
0-60 mph: 5.0s
0-100 km/h: 5.3s
Top speed: 296 km/h (184 mph)
Its price range is about 156,500$......So what are you thinking!just get started...
Bentley Continental GT :
The Bentley Continental GT is a grand tourer coupé with two doors and a 2+2 seating arrangement, released in 2003, replacing the previous Rolls-Royce-based Continental R and T.
It is equipped with a 6.0L, twin-turbocharged W12 engine, producing 552 hp (412 kW), with a top speed of 198 mph (319 km/h). The car is designed by Belgian designer, Dirk van Braeckel. The Continental GT is built on the Volkswagen Group D1 platform. Largely, it could be considered a rebadged Volkswagen Phaeton, with a different styling and a more powerful engine, most of the technical components being identical to those on the Phaeton.

World Speed Record On Ice:
In early 2007, a Bentley Continental GT Speed driven by four-time World Rally Champion Juha Kankkunen broke the world speed record on ice on the frozen Baltic sea near Oulu, Finland. It averaged 321.6km/h (199.86 mph) in both directions on the "flying kilometer", reaching a maximum speed of 331 km/h (207 mph). The previous record was 296 km/h (184 mph), achieved with a Bugatti EB110 Supersport.
The record-breaking Bentley was largely standard except for a roll-cage, aerodynamic improvements, and low-temperature fuel and calibration.

Bentley Continental Flying Spur :(upper right corner)
The Bentley Continental Flying Spur is a four-door variant of the Bentley Continental GT coupe. The Flying Spur was introduced in 2005, and is presently Bentley's fastest four-door sedan.The Flying Spur is equipped with a 6.0 L, twin-turbocharged W12 engine producing 552 hp (412 kW), with a top speed of 195 mph (314 km/h). Permanent four-wheel drive is standard. As with the Continental GT, the Flying Spur is built on the Volkswagen Group D platform. Largely, it could be considered a rebadged Volkswagen Phaeton with a different styling, and a more powerful engine, most of the technical components being identical to those on the Phaeton. The car was designed by the same team that produced the Continental GT.
The Flying Spur is currently built at Bentley's factory in Crewe, England. Due to a lack of capacity at the Crewe factory upon the car's introduction, Flying Spurs destined for markets other than the USA and UK were built at Volkswagen's Transparent Factory in Dresden, Germany. This arrangement ended in 2006 when all assembly work reverted to Crewe.
For 2009, Bentley will introduce a Flying Spur Speed model. Similar to the Continental GT Speed, engine output will be increased to 600 hp (450 kW), with a top speed of 200 mph (320 km/h).
