== Overview ==
:Text originally from bentleymotors.com.
The world eagerly welcomed the extraordinary new Continental GT – and now ready for its second race season is the astonishing new Continental GT3 race car. The pedigree is world class, with the previous Continental GT3 being a proven championship-winning endurance racer, scoring over 120 podiums and 45 wins around the world to date.
W.O. Bentley promised always to build a “good car, fast car, best in its class” and this is no different with the race car. Development of the new Continental GT3 has been led with passion and innovation by the engineers of Bentley Motorsport’s in-house team based in Crewe, and supported across the car by designers and technicians at Bentley’s technical partner, M-Sport.
The new GT3 race car was developed in tandem with the recently launched Continental GT road car, and the performance learnings are many. It utilises a mostly aluminium structure to deliver a much lighter, race-ready weight of significantly less than 1300 kg together with more even weight distribution – ideal for racing. The engine is a new development of the race-proven 4.0-litre Bentley twin-turbo V8, with a redesigned dry sump system and all-new intake and exhaust systems. Unrestricted power is in excess of 550 bhp, fuel consumption is improved and despite reduced exhaust noise the sound is still unmistakably Bentley.
Highly optimised road car intercoolers are used in the Continental GT3 to provide optimum engine performance. Exterior aerodynamic surfaces, based on the sleekly refined lines of the road car, provide additional down force. New suspension and braking systems are also bespoke to the car.

The Bentley Continental GT3 was added in the British Season Update as a high Class D car with the following rank statistics:
*Stock rank: 1,139 ()
* rank: 1,500
* rank: 1,920 ()
* rank: 2,353 ()
* rank: 2,783 ()
=== Performance ===
At stock, the Continental GT3 has average top speed and handling, bad acceleration, atrocious nitro efficiency, and abysmal drifting capabilities - the latter being one of the worst in the game. At MAX, it has stellar top speed and handling, with acceleration being the only drawback. Its drifiting radius was hugely improved and the nitro duration was also buffed during the Italian Season Update, though the rank was also nerfed, making the Continental GT3 even powerful. It excels on all types of tracks but technical tracks are where it shines. It is a excellent choice for multiplayer at MAX due to well-rounded stats, but most players will only have the Continental GT3 at 1-2 star, where its performance is still mediocre. A small amount of blueprints can be obtained through the silver packs in Grand Prix(es), but it's insignificant.
=== Stats Glitch ===
When the Bring the Heat Update was released, a glitch occurred where the Continental GT3's stats got switched to the stats of the Bentley Continental GT Speed (2021), a Class A car, despite the Continental GT3 still being a Class D car. This enabled it to reach speeds of 360+ km/h with nitro activated, making it the new Class D king by far. On 7/26/2022, Gameloft released a statement saying that the car's stats will get fixed in a future update, and that all players are free to use the car at its current performance. The stats were later fixed in the Around the World Update.
=== Usage ===
The Continental GT3 served as starter car at the first stage of Volkswagen W12's Special Event. It is also used in the McLaren GT's Passport Event.
=== Availability ===
In The British Season Update, the blueprints and the key for this car were available by its Grand Prix. Later, in European Season Update and British Tour Season Update, the blueprints and the key were available again as Key Hunt along with Volkswagen W12 Special Event and McLaren GT Passport Event respectively.
