Upgraded Bentley Continental GT3

The upgraded Bentley Continental GT3 is ready for mountain racing, to achieve the fastest time in the modified car category.

The most powerful Bentley ever produced is equipped with a large rear spoiler and other accessories created for this type of mountain race at over 4,000 meters above sea level.

The current record is held by David Donner in a Porsche 911 GT2 RS Clubsport with a time of 9: 36.559. In the 99th annual Pikes Peak race, which will take place in June, the Continental GT3 will be driven by Rhys Millen.

Matthias Rabe said: “We are delighted to be returning to Pikes Peak for the third time – now powered by renewable fuel, as the launch project for another new element of our Beyond100 program.”

The Continental GT3 has a 4.0-liter turbo V8 engine and will use biofuel. “Our powertrain engineers are already researching both biofuels and e-fuels for use by our customers alongside our electrification program – with intermediate steps of adopting renewable fuels at the factory in Crewe and for our company fleet,” Bentley said.

Hybrid versions of all Bentley models will be offered from 2023, and from 2030 the company’s focus will be on electric models.

Porsche 911 GT3

Porsche has tested the durability and reliability of the recently unveiled new 911 GT3 model.

Porsche has always been committed to the durability and reliability of its cars. On the Italian Nardò track, Porsche tested the new GT3 model by driving it at full speed. During testing, the car covered 3,100 miles (5,000 kilometers) in less than 17 hours at a speed of 186 mph (300 km / h).

After 22,000 hours of testing, the 4-liter six-cylinder Porsche 911 GT3 engine proved to be durable, which was the goal of Porsche engineers. To achieve these results, the new 911 GT3 uses an oil system similar to race cars, as confirmed by Thomas Mader, a specialist in GT road engine engines at Porsche.

Although it is not more powerful than its predecessor, it is much faster and more durable. The top speed that this car can reach is 197 mph (317 km / h). The new GT3 showed its capabilities at the Nürburgring where it was 12 seconds faster than its predecessor.

New Porsche 911 GT3

On February 16, Porsche will present its new 992 Series car. It is a Porsche 911 GT3 model.

The new model will have a 4.0-liter straight-six engine with rear-wheel drive as well as the 911 Speedster model, which completed production of the 911 series. The engine will deliver 510 hp at 9,000 rpm. It will accelerate from 0-60 mph in less than 4 seconds. Customers can choose between a manual and an automatic seven-speed transmission (PDK). A six-speed manual transmission for the regular GT3 and GT3 Touring will also be available.

The car got a new braking system with 408 mm front discs and 20 and 21-inch wheels. A few carbon accessories, as well as a large rear spoiler, separate this car from the rest of the 992 Series.

Porsche engineers have focused most of their efforts on strict emissions regulations. The rest of the effort is focused on improving the GT3 model, which has been achieved by improving aerodynamics. The result is a 50 percent increase in downforce without affecting drag.
