Bentley Reveals Stunning New Continental GT3 RS Hybrid Prototype Ahead of Pebble Beach 'prototype 1 hybrid'

The wait is finally over, folks! Just days before its highly anticipated debut at this year's Monterey Car Week in California, Bentley has pulled the covers off a mouth-watering new addition to their iconic Continental range - meet the all-new Continental GT3 RS. And what a ripper it looks like!

Based on the successful and critically acclaimed current-gen continental gt coupe model line-up (which incidentally won numerous awards including our own 2022 Best Luxury Car Over £150,000 award), this latest hyper-focused GT3 RS variant promises to deliver nothing but raw speed, agile handling dynamics, and all-out performance prowess.

Underneath its swooping lines lies a brand-new hybrid powertrain setup. Dubbed the 'W12 TSI Hybrid', it combines Bentley's proven 4-liter twin-turbo V8 engine (developing an impressive 750 horsepower) with three electric motors - one for each wheel, no less! This cutting-edge technology enables seamless torque delivery and near-immediate acceleration from standstill to a blistering top speed of 200 mph+.

In addition to its incredible performance credentials, the Continental GT3 RS also features several significant updates inside. These include exclusive sport-tuned suspension settings, lightweight carbon fiber interior trim pieces (optional), Alcantara-trimmed steering wheel grips and shift paddles finished in gloss black finisher trimmings throughout.

The new Bentley Continental GT3 RS will make its public debut alongside other exciting models from the brand's lineup at this year's Monterey Car Week taking place between August 12th -15th. With production limited to just a mere handful of units worldwide, prospective buyers better act fast if they want one on their driveway soon!
