Mansory Carbon Fiber Body kit set for Bentley Continental GT/GTC 2016

MANSORY for the BENTLEY CONTINENTAL GT and GTC, 4ZA Generation (2011-2018) — the Programme That Spans Both the Original 2011 Body and the 2015 "2.5" Mid-Cycle Refresh

The second-generation Continental GT, internally 4ZA, ran from 2011 to 2018 and is the Bentley grand tourer that defined a long, profitable middle stretch for the model line. Crewe pivoted the 4ZA off the original 2003 platform, kept the same broad-shouldered silhouette, but tightened almost every surface — a 40 mm wider front track, a re-cut shoulder line above the rear wheel, and a more architectural front fascia with the matrix grille that Bentley still uses on the third-generation 3GT today. In 2015 came the so-called "GT 2.5" mid-cycle refresh — same skeleton, revised front bumper, new headlamp graphic, fresh interior leather and trim palette.

The Mansory programme catalogued here works across both phases of the 4ZA. It is one of the longer-running Mansory product lines on any single model, and the carbon parts are dimensioned for both pre-2015 and post-2015 4ZA cars, with bumper-mount geometry matched at order intake.

Why a 4ZA Continental still earns this

The 4ZA is not the current car — that is the 3GT on the Volkswagen Group MSB platform shared with the Porsche Panamera, in production since 2018. But the 4ZA holds a specific position in the Continental ownership market that the 3GT does not yet occupy. First, depreciation curve: a clean post-facelift 4ZA W12 Speed sits at roughly a third of new-3GT money, and that price gap reframes the carbon-and-forged budget. Mansory commissions on the 4ZA are running at higher take rates than ever, because the kit-on-donor cost ratio finally makes sense to a younger buyer cohort than the original 2011-2018 ownership generation.

Second, mechanical character. The 4ZA was the last Continental to run the 2003-era 6.0 W12 architecture before the 3GT moved to the revised crankshaft and cooling layout. Some W12 buyers — and the W12 Speed buyer in particular — prefer the 4ZA's engine character to the 3GT's. The 6.0 W12 in the 4ZA Speed produces 626 hp at the standard tune and 633 hp at the post-facelift Speed tune, with the bigger jump coming on the limited Speed B 2017 final-edition cars at 642 hp. Power is not the point with this engine, character is.

What the carbon programme actually does

The 4ZA programme is not a wide-body in the modern sense — the Continental's already-broad shoulders do not need an additional 30-50 mm of fender extension to read as serious, the way a coupe like a 911 does. The Mansory schedule is therefore weighted toward replacement bumpers and aero detail rather than fender-flare bonding:

ADAS sensors retain factory positions on post-facelift cars; pre-facelift cars (2011-2014) do not have lane-keep ADAS so the front bumper is supplied without those mounting holes. Both the 2-door GT and the 4-seat GTC are covered by the same kit specification.

Donor scope — what fits

• Continental GT V8 (4.0 TT, 500 hp / 660 Nm) — 2012 onwards
• Continental GT V8 S (4.0 TT, 521 hp / 680 Nm) — 2014 onwards, raised front spring rate, sport calibration
• Continental GT W12 (6.0 TT, 567 hp pre-facelift / 582 hp post-facelift / 626 hp Speed)
• Continental GT Speed (6.0 TT, 626 hp pre-facelift / 633 hp post-facelift / 642 hp Speed B 2017)
• Continental Supersports 2017 (6.0 TT, 710 hp) — final-edition 4ZA, supported with ECU and bumper-intake calibration matched to factory Supersports specification

All run an 8-speed ZF automatic and AWD with a rearward torque bias on V8 S and Speed cars.

22" forged options

Factory 4ZA wheel sizes range 20"-21". Mansory steps to 22" forged — the most-specified pattern on this platform is the FM.5 classic five-spoke (the period-correct choice that reads as a continuous evolution of the factory Speed wheel), with the FM.10 deep-multi-spoke as the alternate for clients who want the kit to read more aggressive. Tyre fitment 285/30 R22. Finishes most-ordered on the 4ZA: matte black with diamond-cut face, satin-anthracite, polished-face with dark inset, and the period-correct chrome-shadow finish that some pre-2015 commissions stay loyal to. Forged catalogue: hodoor.world/collection/forgedwheels.

Who orders these now

The 4ZA buyer cohort has shifted. In the 2011-2018 production years it was the same buyer who had bought 2003-era first-generation Continentals — Crewe-loyal, mid-fifties, multiple-car garage. Today, with the 4ZA five to fourteen years old and depreciated, the buyer is younger, more frequently first-time Bentley, and frequently coming from a Porsche or AMG background looking for grand-tourer character at a 100-200k EUR price point rather than a 250-300k 3GT.

Geographic spread is consequently broader than the 3GT — orders ship across Continental Europe, the UK, the Gulf, Eastern Europe and the post-Soviet states. There is no single delivery corridor; the kit ships where 4ZA ownership is densest at any given moment, which historically has tracked the second-hand-market pricing cycle.

Order intake

Required at quote: VIN, donor confirmation (V8 / V8 S / W12 / Speed / Speed B 2017 / Supersports 2017), pre-facelift or post-facelift body, current paint code, scope (full kit vs front-only or rear-only sub-builds, both supported on this platform), wheel pattern and finish, destination country.

Typical timelines: 10-12 weeks for the carbon set and 22" forged wheels. Installation 2 weeks at any Bentley-experienced workshop — the 4ZA programme has been in production long enough that most independent Bentley specialists are familiar with the carbon-bumper bonding sequence.

Common questions

Does the kit fit a pre-facelift 4ZA (2011-2014)? Yes. Mansory has supplied the 4ZA programme continuously since 2012; pre-facelift bumper-mount geometry is supported, with the front bumper supplied to match the original headlamp graphic rather than the 2015+ refresh. ADAS sensor mounting is omitted on pre-facelift bumpers because the donor cars do not carry that hardware.

Will the kit work on a Continental Supersports 2017? Yes — the 2017 Supersports is supported. The factory Supersports already runs an aggressive aero spec; the Mansory kit either replaces or supplements that spec depending on commission scope. The recommended build is to retain the factory active spoiler and replace front, side and lower-rear panels.

Is a power increase available? Mansory ECU programmes for the 6.0 W12 in the 4ZA are available separately — typical W12 standard tune to ~640 hp, Speed to ~700 hp, Supersports to ~750 hp. The body programme as catalogued here is body-and-wheels only; engine work is a parallel commission.

Can the kit be specified front-only or rear-only? Yes. The 4ZA programme is unusual in the Mansory catalogue for being structured as bolt-on subassemblies rather than a single integrated build — many commissions on the 4ZA are partial because the budget logic of buyers in the second-hand market favours selective spend.

Other Mansory programmes worth comparing

Hodoor.World runs the Body Kit for Bentley Continental GT/GTC Race alongside the Bentley Continental GT/GTC Sanguis on the same Mansory factory routing, with Carbon Fiber Body Kit Set for Bentley Continental GT sharing the same component-sourcing channel.

Worldwide order map for the Mansory Bentley Continental GT GTC 2016

Most Mansory Bentley Continental GT GTC 2016 commissions in 2026 originate from the same set of markets. Mediterranean demand — Turkey, Cyprus — clusters around coastal collector communities. Asia-Pacific volume runs through Thailand and Japan, where forged-wheel sets are usually configured alongside the body kit. In Western Europe, Luxembourg and Austria take the largest share, with several builds also crating to Monaco. Whichever route applies to your build, transit is insured and customs paperwork is shipped with the crate.
