2015 Bentley Continental GT3-R heading to Goodwood Festival of Speed

Bentley has declared plans to showcase the new Continental GT3-R in the 2014 Goodwood festival of Speed.

“The most dynamic and fastest-accelerating Bentley ever produced” relies on the Continental GT3 racing car and is high-powered by a 580 ps (426 kW) and 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) dual-turbo V8 4.0-liter unit. A weightreduction of 100 kg (220 lbs) is combined with an eight-speed ZF transmission with shorter gearing to deliver “a exciting driving experience”.

The GT3-R is restricted to just 300 examples, all hand inbuilt Crewe, United Kingdom and finished by Bentley’s motorsport department. All of the created examples can wear a glacier White paint with two-tone green graphics on the aspect profile.

The track-only Continental GT3 also will be appearing at Goodwood. The automotive are piloted up the Hill by David Brabham, who drove a Bentley Speed 8 to second place at the 24 Hours of le Mans in 2003.
