Dancing on ice with Bentley GT3-R

Most focused Continental yet will be 'driven on ice'.


Bentley is taking its most focused Continental yet, the GT3-R, up to Finland in February, so guests of the company can slide it around on ice under the watchful tutelage of rally legend Juha Kankkunen.

In what sounds like a jolly of truly epic proportions, the Power on Ice 2015 event will see customers go on a four-day trip to the north of Finland, with two full days of extreme driving tuition delivered by both four-time WRC champion Kankkunen and Bentley's Ice Driving Team.

The GT3-R is joined by other Continental GTs and Flying Spurs in this escapade, with Kankunnen demonstrating aptly the skills that let him set two ice speed records - both in a Bentley.

Anything else?
Guests get to stay at a luxury Finnish hotel, the Chalet Ruka Peak, with evening meals, a traditional smoke sauna and even night-time Husky-sled safaris included in the price. Which is €11,340 per person, if you're interested - go to events.bentleymotors.com, or call the Bentley Driving Team on +44 (0)1675 445 945 for information or to book a place.
