About the Bentley Continental GT3-R
The Bentley Continental GT3-R is a track-inspired, limited-edition British luxury grand tourer coupe. It suits buyers who want a distinctive, high-performance machine that stands out on the road. While it is a grand tourer, its racing heritage means it is built for speed and handling, making it a statement piece for enthusiasts who enjoy driving dynamics as much as luxury. In Australia, these cars are often imported by collectors or driving enthusiasts looking for a unique alternative to standard supercars or luxury coupes.
We can search the Japanese auctions for you and work out a landed estimate for the exact car before you bid. If you are interested in a specific build year or colour, let us know and we will look for it on your behalf.
For compliance, a SEVS approval exists for all variants (Type 3W Variant FM2Z Version 1) built between January 2015 and December 2015. This approval allows these specific cars to be imported and registered in Australia. We confirm the exact car's SEVS eligibility before you bid to ensure it meets the requirements.
