Bentley Motors Korea has officially launched the ‘Styling Specification’, a dedicated body kit designed to enhance the style and performance of the Continental GT and Flying Spur.
The Styling Specification is a special design option that embodies the elegance and sportiness of Bentley, developed based on Bentley’s long history of motorsports expertise and advanced technology, and crafted with artisan precision.
The Styling Specification consists of a front bumper splitter, side skirts, a rear diffuser, and a spoiler attached to the top of the trunk. All parts are handmade by artisans, utilizing carbon fiber reinforced plastic that is lighter yet tougher than steel, ensuring both lightness and durability.
The carbon fiber used in the body kit is woven in a uniform twill pattern, providing consistent strength and visual appeal. The left and right sides are perfectly symmetrical around the center of the vehicle, enhancing the aesthetic quality and harmonizing with the beautiful design of Bentley cars.
The side skirts include a metallic Bentley badge, etched using 3D electroforming technology. Designed with a special shape to prevent bubble formation on the body kit’s surface, this badge adds a captivating focal point to the side of vehicles equipped with the Styling Specification.
The Styling Specification goes beyond mere accessories; it has been developed using processes akin to new car development. In this process, an engineering team that has developed Bentley’s high-performance models and racing cars directly participated in selecting the best carbon fiber materials and achieving ideal performance.
The engineering team optimized aerodynamic performance through computational fluid dynamics simulations, and further created physical prototypes, conducting wind tunnel experiments and over 100,000 km of test drives to verify performance and durability.
As a result, equipping the Styling Specification offers enhanced stability at high speeds, improved stability during acceleration and braking, as well as cornering performance. Additionally, it offers improvements in cooling performance of the engine and brakes, noise and vibration optimization, and overall performance enhancements.
Moreover, it is designed to prevent interference with various sensors attached to the vehicle body, such as parking sensors, radar, and antennas, ensuring that the vehicle’s operational features are not obstructed.
The Styling Specification is available for both the Continental GT and Flying Spur models. It can be chosen as an accessory option when purchasing a new car or installed later at Bentley official service centers for customers who already own the Continental GT and Flying Spur.
For more details about the Bentley Styling Specification, you can check through Bentley showrooms in Seoul, Busan, and Daegu.
