Continental gt3R

[jason61c]

Hi, any owners here of the gt3R? If so, how’s it been? Looks like a fun purchase for circa 90k.

Any previous owners with their thoughts?

I didnt realise the value had dropped to the extent. Going to have a brows on the internet.

Fantastic cars, wouldn’t sell mine for anywhere near £95k .

How long have you had it? What colour is it? Any issues?

[ted 191]

I’ve had it coming up-to two years, zero issues but I’ve not had time to use it much, only 4K miles in that time with a total of 7k miles.

They do drive different to the standard continentals, more urgent /sharper and the lower gearing is noticeable.

How would it compare it an 08/09 Super Sport ?

<pedant>Gen 1 Supersports were 09-12 and Gen 2 17-18</pedant>

I don't know about the GT3R but the Supersports drives completely differently from the normal Continentals. I swapped my Gen 1 Speed for a Gen 1 SS and couldn't believe the difference. Suspension, gearchange, throttle response and handling - miles better than the standard GT, even the Speed.

A test drive in a SS 1 is what got me started on Bentleys, think of the GT3 R as a bigger step up from Speed to SS.
