Bentley does many things very well, but it hasn't done anything as enchanting as the Brooklands for far too long
Bentley does many things very well, but it hasn't done anything as enchanting as the Brooklands for far too long
It’s managed to do that all while under the ownership of Volkswagen which, as when the company took control of Lamborghini, we wondered might be the nail in the coffin for Bentley’s brawlers. Although, looking back, and short of the Continentals of the '90s, the company wasn’t exactly churning out torque monsters left, right and centre before it was taken over.
Now with twin MHI turbos bolted to it, Bentley was able to crank out 530hp from the near-60-year-old engine and, more impressively, 774lb ft of torque. The highest torque output of any production petrol V8 at the time, in fact. Further improvements would be made until the engine’s retirement in 2020, but the Brooklands marked one heck of a turnaround given the L-Series was at death’s door by the end of the '90s.
