Bentley Continental GT3-R Joins 'Power on Ice'
The Bentley Power on Ice driving experience is about to get a whole lot hotter.
The British automaker has announced the winter ice-driving event will return for 2015 with the Continental GT3-R making its dynamic debut on the ice. Hosted in the icy north of Finland, the Power on Ice 2015 will be a four-day event with two full days of extreme driving delivered by World Rally Champion Juha Kankkunen. Each ice track during the driving experience is personally designed by Kankkunen before being “shaved” into the six-foot thick frozen surface using special equipment.

Guests will also be able to go on snowmobile rides and ice-karting throughout the event. Pricing will start at $14,460 (€11,340) per person with a wide range of accommodations to select from if you have deeper pockets.
