We'd like to think no car enthusiast would ever go wild on the looks of a Bentley, regardless of the model and specification. But there are several wealthy people out there willing to pay a small fortune to make their luxury cruiser (and not only) stand out more, often with a face-palm twist.
And there are a few tuners that would gladly take their money in exchange for something that often looks ridiculous. Is there a name that comes to mind? Don't be afraid to say Mansory, as they are responsible for maiming countless high-end machines over the years, including the Bugatti Chiron.
One of their latest projects, which was shared on social media not long ago, revolves around a particular Bentley Continental GTC. Right off the bat, we can tell you it's not as bold as some of their previous (present and future) creations, and it is probably due to the rather restrained paint finish and no visible forged carbon bits and pieces – from what we can see, at least.
Nonetheless, that doesn't mean that it is stock. Quite the opposite, as there are a few add-ons all over that contribute to the more muscular styling of the luxury open-top grand tourer. You can see them up front in the form of the side vent surrounds and fat apron, at the sides where it has new skirts, and at the rear, where it features additional bits, including a diffuser and a large wing.
In the Instagram post embedded below, Mansory mentions carbon fiber, stating at the same time that this Continental GTC has "an ultra-luxurious exterior." It's clear that their definition of luxury is different from ours, but at least we don't hate this project – and we're not fans of it either. Thus, it kind of falls in the Autoevolution purgatory. The same goes for the wheels, which were also added post-production.
Do you know how this tuner tends to go even crazier on the interior of the cars it modifies, often with a flashy hue? Well, it's not the case here, as this Bentley has black leather upholstery that looks good. Mansory's logo was embossed into the headrests and can be seen on other components, like the treadplates and floor mats.
The tuner hasn't ignored the engine either, which is now said to produce 750 ps (739 hp/552 kW) and 1,020 Nm (752 lb-ft) of torque. As a result of the extra oomph, the 0-100 kph (0 to 62 mph) acceleration has dropped to 3.3 seconds.
That means that it is exactly half a second faster than the stock Continental GTC, according to Mansory. Without any outside intervention, the 6.0-liter W12 makes 635 ps (626 hp/467 kW) and 900 Nm (664 lb-ft). At 333 kph (207 mph), the top speed has remained the same.
