Bentley has revealed an all new model in the form of the Brooklands coupe at the Geneva Motor Show, and the industrious guys over at Autoblog managed to get their hands on the first images of it. Described as a “grand touring coupe with classic British proportions,” the new 2+2 coupe gets its name from the Brooklands circuit in Surrey, where Bentley used to race back in the 1920’s.

The mega-coupe is powered by Bentley’s all-aluminum 6.75L turbocharged V8 developing 500hp and 775 ft-lbs of torque. Only 505 models are planned for production, with the first deliveries scheduled to start in the first half of next year. The Brooklands features a pillar-less profile, 20inch alloys with a mirror finish and acres of rear-legroom in the back.
