Bentley has unveiled a new and enhanced Carbon Fibre Styling Specification for the latest generation Continental GT, GT Convertible (GTC), and Flying Spur models. Available to order through Bentley's global retailer network as a retrofit for existing fourth gen models, the specification can also be selected as a cost option when commissioning a new Bentley.
Crafted by hand, the specification comprises a carbon fibre front bumper splitter, more inclusive rear diffuser compared to previous generation, full-length side sills with metallic electroformed Bentley badges, and mirror caps. Like the veneer that adorns the cabin space, each carbon fibre component is mirror-matched across the centreline to ensure flawless symmetry and visual harmony.
The new Carbon Fibre Styling Specification adds a purposeful visual edge while remaining fully integrated with the latest Bentley design DNA. Designed from the ground up, each element has been developed alongside the vehicle’s latest model updates.
Beneath its striking gloss finish, the carbon fibre material offers the strength, rigidity, and weight-saving characteristics. The carbon weave is laid in multiple layers for optimal structural integrity, with the components undertaking rigorous validation testing and intensive laboratory stress cycles.
A highlight of the specification is the inclusion of uniquely developed three-dimensional Bentley badges, elegantly embedded within the side sills. Precision-engineered using a bespoke electroforming process, each badge features a jewel-like, faceted surface that catches the light and adds authentic visual detail. The profile was carefully designed to minimise lacquer imperfections, such as air bubbles.
Developed in tandem with the latest models, the components were subjected to over 100,000km of durability testing and refined through multiple manufacturing cycles to meet Bentley’s exacting standards.
