Since its global debut, the Continental GT3 has been undergoing a series of rigorous performance, setup and durability tests at tracks across Europe. Bentley says the Continental GT3 passed all tests with flying colors and is officially ready for its first competition.
“The car has performed extremely well so far, and has matched or exceeded our simulations in every respect,” said Brian Gush, Bentley’s Director of Motorsport. “With 3,000 km of testing completed already, the team is very pleased with progress and we’re gaining confidence in our package. We’re all looking forward to the Gulf 12 Hours in December and can’t wait to run the car against the competition for the first time in its first test race.”
Wearing a body similar to that of the road-going Continental GT, the GT3′s 4.0L twin-turbocharged engine is also related to the mill used in the production car. However, the GT3 is rated at 600 horsepower and makes use of a six-speed sequential gearbox.
Bentley hasn’t campaigned a factory-backed racecar since it won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2003.
