Paris 2012: Bentley Continental GT3 Racer

The return of the racing Bentley is upon us, dear gentlemen, and we say that not because they’ve managed to shed 2 kilos by making the seats thinner, but because a hardcore racing version of the Continental GT coupe has been unveiled in Paris.

The car is based on the GT Speed and will enter the FIA-governed GT3 class in late 2013. The guys at bentley have no revealed if they built the car themselves or what are the specs, however we do know it’s rear-wheel drive.

The clear message from our customers is that Bentley belongs on the racetrack, and the Continental GT3 is the realization of a dream we've had ever since the launch of the Continental GT. The Continental GT3 is set to show the world what the Continental GT is capable of in its most extreme form, and establishes a solid foundation for Bentley's long-term motorsport plans," said Bentley Chairman Dr Wolfgang Schreiber.
