The Bentley Continental GT3-R is a high-performance variant of the second-generation Continental GT, produced from 2014 to 2015.
Characterized by its aggressive stance and aerodynamic enhancements, the GT3-R boasts a more sinister design compared to standard Continental models. The exterior updates include a unique front bumper, side skirts, and a rear diffuser, all contributing to improved downforce.
Under the hood, the GT3-R features a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, similar to the standard Continental GT, but with some key modifications. This engine produces 580 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque, making it more potent than its predecessor. The powerplant is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
The GT3-R's W12-derived engine features a unique blend of performance upgrades, including reinforced pistons, connecting rods, and a high-performance exhaust system. These enhancements enable the vehicle to accelerate from 0-60 mph in approximately 4 seconds, with a top speed electronically limited to 198 mph.
Inside, the GT3-R presents a premium interior featuring Bentley's signature craftsmanship. The cabin boasts quilted, diamond-patterned leather seats, along with polished carbon fiber trim and an instrument panel featuring analog dials for revs and oil pressure.
Notably, production of the Continental GT3-R was limited to just 300 units worldwide.
