Bentley Continental GT3 Race Car Unveiled at 2012 Paris Motor Show

The 2012 Paris International Auto Salon saw a range of Bentley cars including Continental GT3 race car concept, Mulsanne saloon, Continental GT Speed performance flagship, but the most special of them is Continental GT3 concept, which shows the company's intention to return to motorsport towards the end of 2013.

Commenting on Bentley’s stand at the Paris Salon, Dr.Wolfgang Schreiber, Chairman and Chief Executive, said “The Paris Salon is a particularly important date in Bentley’s automotive calendar. Exactly ten years ago, the unveiling of the Continental GT concept was a defining moment in Bentley’s history, marking the beginning of the company’s product-led renaissance. Ten years on, the breadth of our model range on display and our announcement to return to the racetrack clearly reflects the progress Bentley has made during that time and the strength of the brand today.”

Based on the new Continental GT Speed, the fastest road-going Bentley ever, the GT3 concept capitalises on the prodigious performance, outstanding high-speed stability and renowned durability of Bentley’s iconic coupe, while tailoring its specification for the racetrack. Featuring a rear-wheel drive chassis, state-of-the-art motorsport hardware and a comprehensive aerodynamic package, the GT3 is targeted to return to the motorsport arena towards the end of 2013.
