The Paris Motor Show 2012, Bentley announced the racing version of continental GT3 concept. The release of the vehicle indicates that Bentley’s determination to return to the race track.
The GT3 concept is based on the the Continental GT speed, the fastest road going car that the English luxury brand has ever churned out. To meet race specifications, the GT3 sits on a rear-drive chassis, and receives state of the art motor sports hardware and aerodynamics package according to the company.
The car has passed the audit of the FIA, Bentley newly appointed CEO and Chairman Wolfgang Schreiber said:" The clear message from our customers is that Bentley belongs on the racetrack, and the Continental GT3 is the realisation of a dream we’ve had ever since the launch of the Continental GT."
The car is still a concept for the moment as Bentley has to decide which motor to drop in the nose depending on which race series it intends to enter – the 4.0 liter V8 or the 6.0 liter W12. Either way, one can only imagine the eventual noise erupting from the side-mounted exhausts as the car barrels down a straight.
