Bentley has revealed these images of the company’s Continental GT3 concept racer ahead of its début in Paris.

Based on the current GT Speed model, no technical specifications have been released, but we do know that the car’s test program will begin in 2013 – exactly ten years since Bentley completed a one-two finish at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with a pair of Speed 8 prototype racers. Once again, Brian Gush, Bentley’s Director of Chassis, Powertrain and Motorsport, is in charge of the Continental’s development.

“The clear message from our customers is that Bentley belongs on the racetrack. The Continental GT3 is set to show the world what the Continental GT is capable of in its most extreme form, and establishes a solid foundation for Bentley’s long-term motorsport plans,” said Bentley’s Dr Wolfgang Schreiber.
