Bentley to use V8 in new GT3 car
Not sure if this has been picked up elsewhere but Bentley have announced that they will use their V8 rather than W12 for their GT3 contender.

"We are well within out target weight, which is under 1300kg."
Well, that decreased quickly! |

Take out the 4WD and everything meant for luxury and you'd strip a literal ton from the car.

That is a good looking car! Interesting it is an 8.4L V10, even bigger than the 8.0L in the GTE version. Glad to see it is eligible for so many rule sets. That is a killer livery too, all for $459k USD.

I like the new Viper, and the racing versions even more
But I hope this one will be competitive enough to challenge for the wins, unlike the Viper Competition Coupe |

Wonderful to see the Viper back in FIA GT3!
I bet we'll see a few of these in the Blancpain series-at the moment Im trying to think of who though. Larbre springs to mind for one. Fingers crossed we see one down here in Australia in a year or two |

Went and had a look at the Viper it's very nice. Always good to get out of the blue announcements like that.
