The Brooklands is powered by a 6.75 litre Rolls-Royce twin-turbocharged V8 engine, producing 530 horsepower (395 kW) and 1,050 newton metres (774 ft·lbf), the highest torque ever developed by a production V8 engine. It featured on Top Gear in series 11 by Jeremy Clarkson, but due to the car having so much torque, one of the car's tyres blew out during a powerslide. It can achieve 0 to 60 miles per hour (0 to 97 km/h) in around 5.0 seconds, and a top speed in the region of 296 kilometres per hour (183.9 mph). With an optional Carbon fibre-reinforced Silicon Carbide (C/SiC) ceramic composite braking system with 14 inches (355.6 mm) SGL Carbon brake discs (only with 20 inch roadwheels), the new Brooklands offers more stopping power than any passenger vehicle currently available for purchase.
