The first-generation Continental GT3 has proven to be a championship-winning endurance racer, scoring 120 podiums and 45 wins across 528 races around the world to date.<\/p>\n<p>Bentley\u2019s Director of Motorsport, Brian Gush comments: \u201cAfter four years of success with our Continental GT3, we\u2019re excited to reveal our second-generation car. The new car leaves no area or system untouched in the search for even better performance, and the early test results are promising. The new Continental GT road car has proved to be a great starting point for the development of a new racer, and the engineering development work is true to Bentley\u2019s impeccable standards.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">The New Continental GT3<\/h3>\n<p>Development of the new car has been led by the engineers of Bentley Motorsport\u2019s in-house team based in Crewe, together with designers and technicians at Bentley\u2019s motorsport technical partner, M-Sport. The new Continental GT3 has been designed from the all-new Continental GT road car, utilising it\u2019s mostly aluminium structure as the foundation to deliver a race-ready weight of significantly less than 1300 kg and helping to deliver an ideal weight distribution for racing.<\/p>\n<p>The engine is a new development of the renowned and race-proven 4.0-litre Bentley twin-turbo V8, with a totally redesigned dry sump system and all-new intake and exhaust systems. Unrestricted power is in excess of 550 bhp. Exterior aerodynamic surfaces have been crafted in the wind tunnel and are based on the shape of the road car, enhancing the muscular exterior panels with aerodynamic devices for additional downforce. Suspension and braking systems are new and bespoke to the Continental GT3. The all-new racecar has already started a six-month test programme to pick up the mantle from its championship-winning predecessor, completing test work in the UK, France and Portugal. Upcoming development work includes full 24 hour endurance race simulations.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Bentley Motorsport 2018<\/h3>\n<p>Bentley Motorsport is also announcing its plans for the 2018 season, after 2017 proved to be the most successful season for the team, capturing the Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup. Bentley Motorsport will run a pair of new Continental GT3 racers across Europe in the Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup again next year, and also compete around the world in the four-round Intercontinental GT Challenge. The new Continental GT3 will make its race debut at the opening round of the 2018 Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup at Monza. Updates from the development programme of the new racer, and confirmation of the 2018 driver line-up, will be issued by Bentley Motorsport in due course.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Continental GT3 Specifications<\/h3>\n<table>\n<colgroup>\n<col \/>\n<col \/><\/colgroup>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Engine<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>4.0 \u2013 litre direct injection twin \u2013 turbo V8, Cosworth engine management system<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Power<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Approx. 550 bhp derestricted<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Oil System<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Dry sump<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Transmission<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Rear wheel drive, Ricardo six \u2013 speed sequential transaxle gearbox, AP racing clutch, steering wheel mounted paddle \u2013 operated pneumatic gear shift<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Drivetrain<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Carbon fibre propshaft, limited slip differential<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Suspension<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Double wishbone suspension front and rear, four \u2013 way adjustable racing dampers<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Steering<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Electric power \u2013 assisted steering<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Brakes<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Alcon ventilated iron disc brakes front and rear, Alcon six \u2013 piston front calipers, four \u2013 piston rear calipers, driver \u2013 adjustable brake bias<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Safety<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>FIA \u2013 specification steel roll cage, six \u2013 point FIA safety harness, onboard fire extinguisher, onboard pneumatic jack system<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Fuel System<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>FIA \u2013 specification racing fuel cell<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Electronics<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>Race \u2013 specification Bosch ABS and traction control.
