From press release
Bentley will make its racing return with the Continental GT3, developed for the competition with the FIA.
The car, which is based on the road model Speed GT, will be the first Bentley race car since the Speed 8 prototype, which claims victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2003.
The racing program of the Continental GT3 has been not precised yet.
“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," said Dr Wolfgang Schreiber, Bentley’s Chairman and Chief Executive.
"The new GT Speed is the perfect car for us to develop into a racer, and our work so far has shown huge potential. 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.”
