Hot Wheels Race Day 2018 Bentley Continental GT3
Bentley’s bruiser built for endurance glory
A low rumble rolls across the paddock — not the sharp wail of a GT3 field, but something deeper, heavier, unmistakably Bentley. The Continental GT3 doesn’t shriek; it growls. As it creeps toward pit exit, its broad fenders, towering wing, and long bonnet make it look more like a grand tourer that wandered into a knife fight. But appearances deceive. Once unleashed, the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 punches the air with a sound that feels carved from granite. For collectors, this casting captures the presence and purpose that made Bentley’s GT3 racer a fan favourite wherever it raced.

Engineered for the World Stage
Developed by Bentley Motorsport and M-Sport, the 2018 Continental GT3 transformed Bentley’s luxurious grand tourer into a purpose-built endurance contender. The lightweight, aluminium-rich structure, massive rear wing, deep front splitter, and advanced suspension design allowed the GT3 to compete credibly across global GT3 championships.
Its 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 was tuned for relentless endurance performance, delivering huge torque and a broad powerband ideally suited to multi-class racing. The most distinctive feature, however, was its sound — a deep, thunderous growl that stood out in a field of high-pitched flat-sixes and V10s.
Proven in Endurance Combat
The Continental GT3 has campaigned with success on circuits around the world, including major GT championships and long-distance events. Its most iconic achievement came at the 2020 Bathurst 12 Hour, where a Bentley Continental GT3 claimed victory against some of the toughest competition in endurance racing.
The car’s combination of durability, aerodynamic stability, and that signature low-frequency exhaust note made it a favourite among fans who appreciated its unique approach to GT3 performance — powerful, confident, and unmistakably Bentley.
