The new Bentley Continental GT3-R has been revealed, the “fastest-ever accelerating” and “most dynamic road car” in its history, as the British marque seeks to refocus its brand image as offering “performance-focused luxury”.
Just 300 examples of the model - which, the company says, was directly inspired by the Bentley GT3 race car - will be built at a price yet to be announced. GT3-R deliveries start at the end of this year, with order books for the model opening today.
The new GT3-R is based on the Continental. It is a strict two-seater and powered by a newly retuned version of the familiar 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine. This now delivers 572bhp and 516lb ft of torque from just 1700rpm. The GT3-R also weighs 100kg less than a GT V8 S. Continental GT3-R Photo Gallery
