Mansory Carbon Fiber Body kit set for Bentley Continental GT GTC V8

MANSORY refines the Bentley Continental GT / GTC V8 (3rd generation) in carbon

The third-generation Bentley Continental GT (2018+, on the Porsche Panamera-derived MSB platform) is the most aerodynamically resolved Continental ever to leave Crewe. Mansory's job here is not to widen it or to disguise it, but to translate that resolved factory shape into Brand-Erbisdorf's carbon-first language. The result is an aero programme — front bumper, rear diffuser, side skirts, mirror covers, carbon bonnet — that pulls the GT/GTC V8 closer to a purpose-built grand tourer without compromising the factory lines that make the third-generation car so good in the first place.

This page covers the 3rd-generation V8 programme. For other Continental bodies see the 2nd-generation 2016 facelift kit, the Race Edition, the Sanguis and the open-top GTC programme.

What's included in the Mansory Continental GT V8 body kit

The kit is supplied as a coordinated aero programme rather than a loose set of parts. Every panel is engineered against the third-generation body so the seams sit flush and the factory lighting and sensor cut-outs stay intact.

Front:

• Front bumper in forged carbon, available as a full replacement or as a soft add-on half-spoiler over the OEM bumper
• Front splitter / lip in forged carbon, tuned for front-axle downforce on long-range cruising speeds
• Optional carbon engine bonnet replacing the OEM hood

Sides:

• Side skirts continuing the lower-body line into the rear diffuser
• Mirror covers in forged carbon

Rear:

• Rear bumper with integrated diffuser (Design I or Design II), with split oval carbon exhaust blinds
• Trunk-lid (rear) spoiler in forged carbon

Materials & construction

Every visible-fibre component is autoclave-cured forged carbon, primed without clear coat in the signature Mansory raw-weave finish — glossy as standard, matte on request. The 3rd-generation programme is positioned as an aero kit rather than a widebody build: the goal is a more aggressive lower body with continuous carbon panels, not a wider footprint. Hidden mounting flanges are reinforced FRP for daily-driver durability. If you prefer body-colour paint over visible weave, the same panels are available in primed FRP at a meaningful cost saving — ask for the FRP variant when configuring the order.

Wheels & performance options

Mansory specifies the GT/GTC V8 programme around forged wheels in 21" and 22", available in three Mansory designs and in Black Glossy or Black Diamond finishes as standard. The 22" set is the daily-cruising default; 21" keeps tyre sidewall taller for harsher European city roads. The Hodoor forged wheels collection lists current finishes and can be configured to the Continental's bolt pattern with the correct offset to clear the new diffuser geometry.

Bentley's own 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 in the 3rd-generation GT delivers 550 PS (542 hp) and 568 lb-ft from the factory. Mansory offers ECU and sport-exhaust packages on top of that at order stage; discuss the exact spec at order time.

Fitment & installation

The 3rd-generation programme is engineered as a direct bolt-on for the Continental GT V8 (2018+) and Continental GTC V8 convertible. It does not interchange with the 2nd-generation (2011–2017) body — bumper geometry and lighting cut-outs all moved at the platform change, which is why Mansory published a separate programme for each generation. Installation time at a trained body shop is under 8 hours for the core kit, plus paint-prep on the panels you choose to colour-match. No permanent cuts, no welding — the kit can be removed and the original Continental body restored if the car is ever moved on.

How this kit compares to other Mansory Bentley programmes

Mansory has built carbon programmes for almost every modern Bentley. The Continental V8 3rd-gen kit sits at the centre of the current GT lineage:

• Earlier Continentals: the 2016 facelift programme for the 2nd-generation GT, plus the standalone GTC kit and the Continental GT Race.
• This kit (3rd-gen V8, 2018+): aero-focused, carbon-first, designed for the new lighting and bumper geometry.
• Race Edition: the Race Edition programme takes the same body language further with track-spec aero.
• Limited series: the Sanguis programme and the flagship Le Mansory II GT/GTC.
• Other Bentleys: the Bentayga V8 2020 widebody, the matching Bentayga W12 2020, and the New Flying Spur programme.

Background and visual references for every Mansory Continental build sit on the Mansory Continental GT blog and the parent Hodoor Mansory blog.

Why upgrade your Continental GT/GTC V8

Three things change when the Mansory programme goes on a 3rd-generation Continental V8. First, visual identity: a stock 3rd-gen GT is one of the most beautifully resolved factory bodies of the decade, but it is also a quiet car at speed. The Mansory front bumper, side skirts and rear diffuser turn that quiet shape into something with intent at a glance. Second, real downforce: the front splitter, side skirts and rear diffuser were tuned together rather than as standalone panels — high-speed rear stability is measurably better. Third, rarity. The 3rd-generation GT is itself a low-volume car; a Mansory-built Continental GT V8 is a tiny fraction of those, and reads as a one-off at any international event.

FAQ

Will this kit fit my 2nd-generation Continental GT (2011–2017)?
No. The 3rd-generation programme is built for the redesigned 2018+ bumpers and headlights. For the 2nd-gen body the correct page is the 2016 facelift programme.

Does this kit fit the W12 Continental GT?
Most exterior panels carry over between V8 and W12 cars in the 3rd-generation, but exhaust outlets and rear diffuser cut-outs differ. We confirm the right SKUs against your VIN before shipping.

Is this a widebody kit?
No — it is an aero programme. The 3rd-generation Continental keeps its factory track. For Mansory's truly widebody Bentleys see the Bentayga V8 2020 widebody.

Forged carbon vs FRP — what is the difference?
Forged carbon costs more, shows the signature Mansory raw-weave look under primer, and is the iconic Mansory finish. FRP is paint-only, lighter on the wallet, and the right choice if you are colour-matching every panel anyway.

Can I order single parts (front splitter only, diffuser only)?
Yes. Front bumper, splitter, side skirts, rear diffuser (Design I or II), mirror covers and engine bonnet are all available as standalone SKUs. The soft add-on half-spoiler front bumper is the easiest entry point if you want the Mansory look without committing to a full bumper swap.

What wheel options work with the new diffuser geometry?
Mansory forged wheels in 21" or 22" — Black Glossy or Black Diamond — are the reference fitment. Most forged wheels in the Hodoor forged wheels collection can be configured for the Continental's bolt pattern and the 3rd-generation rear-end clearances.
