The Double R was always one of the maddest lightweights - then came the supercharged one.
Like so many low-volume British sports cars, the story of the Brooke Double R is an interesting tale. Back in the 1990s, a car called the Brooke Kensington ME190 was built, taking design inspiration from the Light Car Company Rocket but with occupants side-by-side instead of in tandem. That didn’t work out , but the Brooke name was resurrected in the early 2000s; the mid-engined concept was reworked and refined, presented to the world once more in 2006 as the Brooke Double R.
Things were looking good - as everything did in 2006 for anyone that wasn’t Michael Lewis - and plans were afoot for a broader range of Brookes. Here was another British sports car that was superb to drive, far rarer than a Caterham, more extreme than an Elise and faster than any Atom around at the time. Why wouldn’t they be ambitious? There was going to be a Double R racer, a track spec one, a 200hp model and a supercharged, madcap flagship.
