Bentley GT3-R awarded ‘Best Bespoke Limited Edition’ at Gulf Concours
[/caption] Limited to just 300 examples globally upon its launch and highly regarded in the Middle East amongst collectors, the GT3-R is as breathtaking in its approach to interior design as to its dynamic ability. Judges at the Gulf Concours recognized the bespoke model, awarding the luxury manufacturer for Bentley’s rarest and most performance-focused interpretation of luxury. Accepting the award on behalf of Bentley Motors, Robin Peel, Head of Marketing and Communications – International said, “The GT3-R is truly a statement in quintessential British luxury combined with a level of performance borne out of Bentley’s long racing heritage. We are very pleased to see that the GT3-R has been recognised by automotive experts at the Gulf Concours for its very special characteristics.” “The Bentley GT3-R was awarded the ‘Best Bespoke Limited Edition’ award to celebrate true automotive excellence - a standout winner with race car performance and an elegant design that doesn’t compromise on luxury,” said Rory Heron, Managing Director of Thorough Events Singapore, the event owners and organizers. Inspired by the Continental GT3 racecar, the GT3-R blends proven track and road credentials. The marque’s racing roots are unashamedly brought to the fore through a high performance retuned version of the Bentley 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8. Developing an astounding 580 PS (572 bhp / 426 kW) and 700 Nm of torque, together with a 100 kg weight reduction and shorter gearing, the GT3-R is the fastest-accelerating Bentley ever. Capable of reaching 60 mph from a standstill in just 3.6 seconds, the GT3-R is a Grand Tourer with performance that truly echoes Bentley’s impressive racing pedigree. — SG
