Bentley Continental GT upgraded by Mansory

In the past few years, we have seen several projects by German tuning company Mansory based on the Bentley Continental GT model. Now, Mansory offers all GT/GTC model owners a complete body kit and new designed Carbon applications.

Every Mansory work is a unique expression of the car owner’s vision. Such is the case here, where the body kit brings a multitude of forged carbon fiber parts such as the hood, radiator grille, splitter or air intakes. There are also side mirror housings, sills, fender and door strip with illuminated logo, roof spoiler made of visible carbon, rear decklid spoiler, new rear diffuser with additional brake light, C-Pillar panel with logo, and aftermarket exhaust tips. The car is mounted on glossy black 22-inch wheels, which complete the luxurious look of the car.

The interior of the cabin has also undergone some changes. Light brown leather covers the seats, door panels, lower dashboard and steering wheel, while forged carbon fiber accents adorn the door panels and dashboard. There are also Mansory seat belts and floor mats.

When it comes to the powertrain, Mansory hasn’t changed a thing. The Bentley Continental GT is powered by a 4.0-liter V8 engine combined with an electric motor for a total of 771 hp and 738 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque. That’s enough to propel the car from 0-62 mph in 3.2 seconds with a top speed of 208 mph.
