Currently being developed by a dedicated motorsport team at Bentley’s headquarters in Crewe, the GT3 concept will send Bentley back to Sportscar racing, reaffirming its philosophy of developing racing cars from the road-going counterparts.
Based on the new Continental GT Speed, the fastest road-going Bentley ever, the GT3 concept capitalises on the prodigious performance, outstanding high-speed stability and durability of Bentley’s coupe, while tailoring its specification for the racetrack.
Featuring a rear-wheel drive chassis, state-of-the-art motorsport hardware and a comprehensive aerodynamic package, the GT3 is targeted to return to the motorsport arena towards the end of 2013.
It will complete in the GT3 category against the likes of Mercedes’s-Benz’s SLS GT3, Audi R8 GT3, Aston’s Vantage GT3 and BMW’s Z4 GT3. Not to mention the raft of Ferrari’s and Porsche’s that inhabit the class.
