Bentley to use V8 in new GT3 car

Not sure if this has been picked up elsewhere but Bentley have announced that they will use their V8 rather than W12 for their GT3 contender.

Better choice, lighter engine, can generate enough power.

Take out the 4WD and everything meant for luxury and you'd strip a literal ton from the car.

I find it quite funny, seems that the Z4 will have the same engine than the Bentley continental GT, quite realistic.

That is a good looking car! Interesting it is an 8.4L V10, even bigger than the 8.0L in the GTE version. Glad to see it is eligible for so many rule sets. That is a killer livery too, all for $459k USD.

I like the new Viper, and the racing versions even more
But I hope this one will be competitive enough to challenge for the wins, unlike the Viper Competition Coupe

The Viper CC was actually not a bad car in its first couple of years...

Not a new livery. Just a picture of the old GT40 flowing over into the 'new' Lambda Ford GT.

Orders are now being taken for late 2013 delivery. The price of the new SRT Viper GT3-R is estimated at $459,000 USD. So 347.385 €

The Lambda logo reminds me a little of the Usines Vaillant one. Nice

Wonderful to see the Viper back in FIA GT3!

I bet we'll see a few of these in the Blancpain series-at the moment Im trying to think of who though. Larbre springs to mind for one.

Fingers crossed we see one down here in Australia in a year or two

Went and had a look at the Viper it's very nice. Always good to get out of the blue announcements like that.
