Mansory Carbon Fiber Body Kit for Bentley Continental GT

MANSORY Carbon Body Kit for the Bentley Continental GT / Continental GTC Third Generation BY627 — the MSB-Platform W12 and V8 Grand Tourer, Entry Programme Below the Le Mansory Speed Edition

The Bentley Continental GT third generation (internal code BY627) launched in 2018 as the most technically advanced Continental in the model's history, moving from the original PL71 platform (shared with the Phaeton) to the new MSB (Modular Sports Architecture) co-developed by Volkswagen Group and Porsche — the same architecture that underpins the Porsche Panamera 971. The shift delivered active rear-wheel steering, 48V active anti-roll bars, a new 48V-networked chassis with continuous adaptive damping, and a wholly redesigned interior. Powertrain options: the W12 6.0L twin-turbocharged 48V engine (6.0L W12 TSI, 635 hp / 900 Nm in standard Continental GT and GTC Speed variants) and — introduced later — the V8 4.0L biturbo (542 hp / 770 Nm, from the shared EA825 V8 family). The open-top Continental GTC (cabriolet) was added in 2019 on the same platform. The Continental GT Speed (2021, 659 hp W12) and the Mulliner bespoke-customer edition round out the third-generation range. Mansory covers the Continental GT across several programme tiers: the dedicated Le Mansory Speed Edition — the flagship full-widebody programme catalogued on its own page — and this Mansory Carbon Body Kit, the entry programme for third-generation BY627 donors where owners want precision carbon detailing without the full Le Mansory panel replacement. A separate V8 edition programme specifically targets the V8 Continental GT for owners who want a lighter, more sporting emphasis.

How the Carbon Body Kit relates to Le Mansory Speed Edition

The Le Mansory Speed Edition programme is Mansory's headline statement for the Continental GT — it replaces bumpers, fenders, bonnet, side skirts and arch-flares, adds Le Mansory-branded carbon aero, and produces the widened, overtly-transformed Continental. The Carbon Body Kit described here is a step below: it provides a curated set of bolt-on and bonded pre-preg carbon components that enhance the factory GT's lines without replacing major panels. The intention is a Continental GT that reads as a particularly well-specified Mulliner Styling Specification variant rather than an aggressively-transformed show car — the ideal choice for Mulliner-commission donors, for collectors managing resale value, or for owners who want to retain the third-generation GT's Crewe design intent while adding Mansory carbon accents. Components: carbon front splitter extending below the factory lower bumper; carbon side-vent blade inserts along the front-fender lateral-vent chrome; carbon side-skirt extensions (bolt-on, body-colour flanged); carbon rear diffuser insert (lower centre, quad-exit compatible); carbon tailgate spoiler (subtle integrated decklid lip); carbon mirror housings; and carbon bonnet insert strip (centre-line carbon inlay strip preserving factory bonnet geometry). Full bumper replacement and arch flaring are reserved for the Le Mansory programme.

Donor specification — BY627 variants covered

The Carbon Body Kit is correct for all third-generation BY627 variants: Continental GT W12 (2018-2023; 6.0L W12 TSI, 635 hp / 900 Nm, 8-speed DCT, rear-biased AWD, 0-100 km/h in 3.7 s, 333 km/h top speed); Continental GTC W12 (2019-2023; convertible, same mechanicals, marginal kerb-weight increase for soft-top mechanism); Continental GT V8 (2020-2023; 4.0L EA825 V8 biturbo, 542 hp / 770 Nm, 0-100 km/h in 4.0 s, 318 km/h); Continental GTC V8 (convertible V8 variant); Continental GT Speed (2021+; W12, 659 hp / 900 Nm, 0-100 km/h in 3.6 s, 335 km/h, firmer chassis tune); Continental GT Mulliner (bespoke programme, same mechanicals with extended Mulliner bespoke interior and exterior, Carbon Body Kit fitment assessed per Mulliner specification); Continental GT S (2023+; V8, 550 hp, sport-tuned, black-gloss detailing). The 2024 facelift (revised exterior lines, updated infotainment) is supported with year-specific front-splitter geometry. The Carbon Body Kit is not designed for the previous-generation third-gen predecessor (Continental GT W12 2011-2017 pre-MSB) — that generation is covered by the separate earlier-generation Bentley programme.

Mansory forged wheels for the Continental GT BY627

Factory Continental GT third-generation wheel sizes are 21"-22" depending on specification. Mansory Carbon Body Kit builds typically commission 22" front / 22" rear or 22" front / 23" rear staggered forged designs from the Mansory forged catalogue (Y.6, FD.16, FS.15, FM.5 patterns in gloss black, anthracite, polished bronze, brushed titanium, or paint-to-sample matching Bentley Colour Specification colours).

FAQ — Bentley Continental GT Carbon Body Kit (BY627)

How does this kit differ from the Le Mansory Speed Edition? The Le Mansory Speed Edition is the full widebody programme — it replaces bumpers, widens fenders, replaces the bonnet, and produces a dramatically transformed Continental. This Carbon Body Kit retains all factory panels and provides bolt-on/bonded carbon accents at a lower price point and lead time.

Does the quad-exit Mansory exhaust preserve the W12 engine's Bentley acoustic character? Yes — the exhaust integrates with Bentley Drive Dynamics Mode valve-flap logic, preserving the factory W12 burble in Comfort and Bentley modes and adding depth in Sport and Custom modes.

Is the kit compatible with the Continental GT Speed's 659 hp tune and sportier chassis calibration? Yes — the Speed's stiffer AMT and torque-vectoring rear differential are untouched. Carbon Body Kit dimensions are identical for Speed and standard W12 donors.

Can Mulliner bespoke colours be matched on the carbon-body-colour flanges? Yes — any Mulliner paint-to-sample code is cross-referenced at the Mansory atelier for body-colour-flange matching on the side-skirt extensions and carbon diffuser.

Does the Continental GTC convertible receive the same kit as the GT coupé? Yes — kit components are dimensionally compatible with both coupé and convertible bodystyles. The carbon tailgate spoiler is omitted on GTC donors (no rear hatch) and is replaced with an optional decklid-lip strip instead.

Will the carbon bonnet centre-strip affect the Continental GT's bonnet-release and flying-lady mechanism? No — the centre-line carbon inlay strip is an overlay that does not interfere with the bonnet-release mechanism or the Spirit of Speed flying-mascot retract motor.

Is TÜV certification included for EU-market donors? Yes — full TÜV documentation is provided for EU-registered Continental GT and GTC donors, covering body-modification, exhaust-noise and emissions, and wheel-fitment compliance.
