Bentley revealed their new race car, the Continental GT3, at the 2012 Paris auto show. Currently, the Bentley Continental GT3 is just a concept car, which announces the brand's return to motorsport at end of 2013. The Continental GT3 is based on Bentley's GT Speed, and it's meant to showcase the company's philosophy to develop racing cars from their road-going counterparts. The Continental GT3 is rear-wheel-drive, it comes with new aerodynamics and all the "goodies" you would expect to find in a professional race car. In comparison to the road going version, the Continental GT3 has a wider body, a new front bumper, new side skirts, and a new rear bumper with an integrated diffuser. Its exhaust pipes come out on the side of the vehicle, and not out of the rear as in the case of the production model. Bentley also gave the Continental GT3 a huge rear wing and a new bonnet with large air vents.
The Bentley Continental GT3 is probably stripped of the original interior, which is was probably replaced with a sport bucket seat, a full roll cage and an 8-point harness. Bentley did not disclose any other details regarding the Continental GT3, but we're confident they'll do so in the near future.
