Hi guys,I think from an aesthetic point of view the new brooklands is the most handsome
Coupe in the world.
Considering though it's a face lifted version Of the azure that's been with us for nearly 15 years,does
This mean it will drive like an old barge?

It isn't actually based on the Continental R/Azure, it's based on the Arnage.

Well remember that the Arnage was first introduced in 1998, but like all Crewe built cars it had many upgrades as the years rolled on. It's a fantastic sense of occasion to drive but obviously not at the cutting edge that I'm sure the new Mulsanne is, I've not had the pleasure yet to try one.

Get yourself a drive, the proof of the pudding........................

At first, i wanted the Azure, which i tested. It was literally like driving a boat! And i beleive the Brooklands is a similar ride, if not slightly more stable due to the hard top.

You are right the azure and the Brooklands are prob the best looking cars out there.

As a car you look at its great, i would love to look at it parked. But as a car you will drive, for me it was not what i wanted. it was fustrating as both are great looking cars. Some may say; "But that is the Bentley driving way", but not for me. in the end i bought a brand new GTC speed and the drive is modern and involving.
