Well well well, I didnt think such a big car like the Continental could be made into a GT racing machine but it would be great to see the car out there and racing if the step was made from concept to actual racecar. Im quite intrigued now.

In the end it will be real, i don't see competing with the 458 tough and i don't know what may Ferrari think of seing their 458 competing with this "trailer" xD. But anyway seems the family is growing.

On closer inspection on a bigger screen ( only looked on the phone earlier), that is not my creation. But very, very similar.

I´m happy for this piece of news though. I have always seen GT3 as "the more the merrier", and really welcome any competitors. Heck, I even like the GT3 Camaros!

Wow, they'll have to shed a good 1000kg from the street car. I'm betting it'll be just a shell of it's former self (of course). The lightest version on the street is still 5000lbs! Must be from that super luxury interior.

I seem to remeber saying on here that taking the leather and walnut out should be close to half a tonne!
Add some carbon bits, as AMG do with the SLS, and you'd be surprised.

There was a thread JUST for Bentley in GT3, that I raised, about 6 months back...

I just look forward to welcoming The World's Fastest Lorry back into competition!

This is when I wonder, why even the Bentley continental will have a GT3 version and the LFA doesn't. Pathetic.

Hey, but they can afford a LFA Nurburgring package..... Ignoring racing?

The big boy it's here!!!

I don't like the exhaust pipe on car sides, it doesn't make the car seem to the road version, and will never be brought to road cars in terms of I+D unless you wanted to burn an unexpected pedestrian crossing the street, anyway i doubt that exhausts are road legal. I remember seeing those exhausts also in the Nigel Stepney's GT-R GT1.

Morgan Aeros use side exit exhausts, so they should be legal.

Indeed, Beautiful car, but i think is little bigger than the road version (Maybe it's my imagination cause the road car is far away), like the GT1 GT-R also, to enhance even more, the enourmous road car.

Seems to be getting a good response in social media and on forums. I like it. I agree with you on the R35 GT-R, it is an ogre.
