Now, ten years on, Bentley is repeating the same feat with a Continental-based GT3 race car currently being developed by a dedicated motorsport team at the company\u2019s factory in Crewe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Signalling Bentley\u2019s return to the racetrack for the first time since its historic sixth Le Mans victory in 2003, Continental GT3 remains faithful to the company\u2019s founding motorsport philosophy of developing racing cars from their road-going counterparts.<\/p>\n<p>Dr Wolfgang Schreiber, Bentley\u2019s Chairman and Chief Executive, comments: \u201cThe clear message from our customers is that Bentley belongs on the racetrack, and the Continental GT3 is the realisation of a dream we\u2019ve had ever since the launch of the Continental GT. The new GT Speed is the perfect car for us to develop into a racer, and our work so far has shown huge potential. The Continental GT3 is set to show the world what the Continental GT is capable of in its most extreme form, and establishes a solid foundation for Bentley\u2019s long-term motorsport plans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The new Continental GT Speed is a refined, luxury grand tourer but which, if the driver demands, has a distinctly hard-edged sporting character. With exceptional levels of instantly accessible performance, the GT Speed, the fastest road-going Bentley ever, is a supercar that can be used every day, whatever the weather and road conditions. The Continental GT3 concept capitalises on the prodigious performance, outstanding high-speed stability and renowned durability of Bentley\u2019s iconic coupe, while tailoring its specification for the track with the adoption of a rear-wheel drive chassis in accordance with the regulations, state-of-the-art motorsport hardware and a comprehensive aerodynamic package. The dramatic livery of the car enhances the muscular, sculpted form of the Continental GT Speed while remaining proudly patriotic with the inclusion of Union flags.<\/p>\n<p>With the Continental GT3 concept receiving the full support of the FIA, Bentley is returning to the motorsport arena towards the end of 2013 with a GT race car capable of competing with the very best, in the true Bentley tradition.<\/p>\n<p>Equipped for endurance as well as outright speed, the new Bentley competitor will be eligible to race in a range of race series and events, up to and including 24-hour marathons.<\/p>\n<p>Heading the development of the Continental GT3 is Bentley\u2019s Director of Chassis, Powertrain and Motorsport, Brian Gush. Having led the programme that famously saw a brace of Bentley Speed 8 prototype racers take a dominant and dramatic one\/two at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2003, Brian is well placed to lead Bentley\u2019s return to competitive racing.<\/p>\n<p>Development of the Continental GT3 will continue over the coming months in the build-up to the start of a test programme in 2013. More information and details about Bentley\u2019s return to motorsport will be released in the near future.<\/p>\n<h3><a
