2013 BENTLEY CONTINENTAL GT3 2

Powered by a, dry-sumped aspirated 441kW version of the engine Cosworth 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 Continental GT, Bentley Continental GT3 outguns the 423kW twin-turbo V12-powered Continental GT and GT Speed falls just shy of 449kW.

Weighing less than 1300kg, however, the pilot GT3 is 1033kg lighter than a standard Continental GT.

Dictated to by paddles mounted on the steering wheel, an Xtrac six-speed sequential gearbox, carbon fiber drive shaft and a limited slip differential together to transmit power only to the rear wheels of the Continental GT3, rather than use the system all-wheel -drive employed by his street brothers -going.

ESTIMATED from concept car racing Bentley Continental GT3 unveiled at the 2012 Paris Motor Show, the pilot also gets a double wishbone suspension front and rear brake package, four-way adjustable race dampers, Brembo and by including a bias switch driver adjustable brake discs drilled and ventilated and six-piston calipers front and four-piston rear.

The exterior features a carbon fiber front splitter, rear wings and body, along with light, bumper, bonnet, sills and wheel arches and black 18-inch wheels wrapped in OZ RACING 310 mm wide rubber Pirelli PZero


Leather and wood trim Standard interior of the Continental GT has been stripped in favor of a FIA-specification roll steel, a race seat with safety harness Sparco six points, a EXTINGUISHER on board and a pneumatic jack on board. Maintaining the brand's reputation for luxury living, the steering wheel, door handles and seats are all hand cut and sewn by the team of Bentley in Crewe.

Bentley board member for engineering Rolf Frech says the brand has worked hard to ensure the CAR performs competitively.

"We have removed more than 1000kg of weight, reconfigured our 4.0-liter V8 producing 600bhp in the specific race, and developed a comprehensive aerodynamic package."
