Business Operation

Competition / Market:

Brooke Cars aim is simple, to build beautiful and finely engineered sports cars with the potential to outperform the very latest supercars and reward the driver with a truly thrilling experience. The Brooke Double R is a modern thoroughbred, using state of the art components from such well known brands as Cosworth, AP Racing and Stack to keep at the cutting edge. Brooke Cars believe that the ultimate Sports Car should have a longitudinally mid-mounted engine, the fact that every Formula one car since the sixties has used this design surely confirms that this is the ultimate configuration. The Brooke Double R is also incredibly light, weighing in at around 510Kg depending on spec. These slender figures combined with engines ranging in power from 200-400bhp give the Brooke Double R acceleration to shock and awe.
