Bentley unveils an updated Carbon Fibre Styling Specification for Continental GT, GTC and Flying Spur, including retailer retrofit—discover key details.

Bentley is widening the choice of factory carbon accents for the latest Continental GT, Continental GT Convertible and Flying Spur, unveiling an enhanced Carbon Fibre Styling Specification designed to sharpen the sporting character of its flagship Grand Tourers while staying true to the brand’s design language.

The package centres on meticulously crafted exterior components in carbon fibre. It includes a front splitter, side sills, mirror caps and a rear diffuser, with the new diffuser described as larger than the previous generation. Bentley highlights that the parts are hand-finished and mirror-matched across the vehicle’s centreline, aiming for precise symmetry and a clean, deliberate visual flow.

The update also reflects rising demand for bespoke personalisation. Bentley says the specification returns to Mulliner and is now available across all model variants of the latest Continental GT, GTC and Flying Spur, representing a significant expansion versus the prior generation. Customers can select it as an option when commissioning a new car, or arrange a retailer retrofit through Bentley’s global network for existing fourth-generation models.

The enhanced specification made its public debut at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed on a Continental GT Speed finished in Orange Flame. In the press material, Bentley positions it alongside other appearance and performance-focused choices such as the titanium Akrapovic exhaust and the Blackline Specification, presenting a darker, more assertive take on the daily Grand Tourer.

Bentley links the visual upgrade to the engineering story of its latest models, referencing new Performance Hybrid powertrains delivering up to 782 PS and 1,000 Nm, with acceleration from 0–62 mph in as little as 3.2 seconds—figures that are published for the Continental GT Speed. The company adds that the components were developed in tandem with the current model updates and validated through intensive testing, including over 100,000 km of durability work and repeated laboratory stress cycles, to ensure the result feels integrated rather than aftermarket.

For owners and prospective buyers, the message is twofold: Bentley is offering more factory-approved ways to make its Grand Tourers look sharper without drifting into tuning aesthetics, and the emphasis on retailer retrofit may lift the share of cars gaining carbon packages after purchase. Bentley notes that, for the previous generation, one in four Bentleys was ordered with a Styling Specification.
