What is the Bentley Brooklands?
Brooklands is a name Bentley used for two luxury cars: a four-door saloon in the 1990s and a two-door coupé in the late 2000s. Both belong to Bentley’s grand touring tradition. The name also recalls the Brooklands circuit, where a Bentley won its first race.
Generations and engines
The first Brooklands was a saloon produced from 1993 to 1998. The name returned for the Brooklands Coupé, produced from 2008 to 2011. It was a separate two-door model, rather than a continuation of the saloon.
The Brooklands used petrol engines. The UK VCA listing covers a 6.8 L version, while US EPA and Canadian NRCan listings span 6.7 L to 6.8 L.
How economical is the Bentley Brooklands?
The lowest listed UK consumption is 19.5 L/100 km on the NEDC test. The US EPA figure is 19.6 L/100 km, with a combined rating of 12 MPG. Canada’s NRCan five-cycle test gives 18.8 L/100 km. These results use different procedures: WLTP or NEDC in Europe, EPA in the USA and the five-cycle test in Canada, so they are not directly comparable.
EU registration figures record 44 Brooklands registrations in 2010, all in the 6.8 L petrol entry.

Official figures include the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada. They cover 2010 in the EU, 2008 to 2010 in the UK, 1998 to 2010 in the US and 1995 to 2009 in Canada.
