What's in our Car Town garage today? (December 10, 2013)

What's in our Car Town garage today?

2000 Dodge Viper GTS-R Concept

Designed by a Japanese, this race-spec Viper concept is designed to be more track focused in mind but surprisingly, this concept racer served as the foundation for the Viper's 2003 full model change. Osamu Shikado, the man responsible for this concept, told that the GTS-R Concept's profile is provided by a higher belt line, dramatic side gill, 'bump-up' rear fender shape and a more defined side crease. Quite a satisfying eye-candy for the enthusiasts, though.

1999 Lamborghini Diablo GTR

As the the 21st century drawn near, the Lamborghini Diablo, the V12 flagship Lambo of the 90's, reaches its fond farewell and what's better for the Diablo's swan song is a more track-focused racecar called the Diablo GTR. Based from the GT model, the GTR is the hardcore Diablo that has all of its concessions of luxury removed to make it driver-focused on the track. Only 30 of these were made, making this one of the rare breed in the Lamborghini legacy.

2013 Bentley Continental GT3 Racecar

Having made its world premiere at the 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed, the race-spec version of the uber-luxurious Continental GT coupe signals the Crewe-based carmaker's return to motorsports and it should be ready for its maiden voyage at the FIA Blancpain Series next year. The GT3 Racecar weighs 2,200 less than the normal CGT and the V8 engine that powers it is a real monster of a magnitude. It produces about 600HP, 0-60mph below three seconds, and top speed above 200mph. Not your father's Bentley anymore!
