After years of not participating in racing competitions, Bentley has officially reentered its racing heritage by unveiling a GT3 specced racer of their Continental GT Speed. And they're serious about it because this race car will be joining races starting late 2013.
No specifics have been revealed about the bespoke concept from Crewe but it is revealed that the Continental GT3 will be rear wheel drive to satisfy regulations and is equipped with state of the art motorsport hardware and a comprehensive aerodynamics package. As it will be FIA compliant, this racer will be eligible in a lot of competitions including 24-hour endurance races.
According to Bentley's CEO, Dr. Wolfgang Schreiber, 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. Glad to know they're back and with more variety on the race track, it's a win for everybody.
