Track Beckons For New Continental GT

Sub-1300kg, 550bhp, V8-powered racer revealed hot on the heels of new Bentley road car

- 

IT TOOK BENTLEY A DECADE TO GET its original Continental GT out of the paddock and onto the track, but a GT3 racing version of the new Conti GT (driven on page 28) will line up on the grid at Monza in 2018 within a couple of months of the first road cars being delivered. And it has a lot to live up to.

The original Continental GT3 race car racked up 528 races, 120 podiums and 45 wins during its short, four-year life. And with GT3 racing becoming evermore competitive, the new Bentley contender can’t afford the smallest confidence lift on its way into the first corner.
