Fits Bentley CONTINENTAL GT V8 MK2 (6 points 8.0 MM) (2011-2018)

Brake pad compound

Street: quiet, low-dust, strong cold bite for road driving. Sport: higher temperature range and more bite for fast road and occasional track. Racing: maximum fade resistance for sustained track use (noisier and dustier cold). Match the pad to how hard you actually brake.

Disc size

Caliper grade

Hollow is the standard caliper: a lighter hollow-body forged caliper with a dust cover and a 5-year warranty. Hollow Racing drops the dust cover for sustained high-temperature use (rated to 1000°C, 2-year warranty) — the track-grade choice.

Caliper colour

Painted colours are included. Polished-forged finishes are mirror-polished forged calipers (Titanium, Gold, Silver); candy colours are a deep, mirror-reflection paint. Both are premium upgrades — fuller detail further down the page.

Painted — includedTell us the exact Pantone (PMS) code you want the calipers painted.Polished forgedCandy
Disc style

Drilled discs (cross-drilled holes) vent gas and water and look aggressive; slotted discs (surface grooves) wipe the pad face clean and resist fade under sustained hard use. Same price — choose on looks or how you drive.

Centre bell

The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. Standard anodized is included; a two-tone bell adds an anodized accent ring in your choice of colour; titanium is the lightest, forged option.

Carbon-ceramic rotor

Carbon-ceramic rotors are a special-order track upgrade: far lighter than steel, fade-resistant at extreme temperatures and extremely long-lived. The price follows the disc size you choose above. The standard two-piece steel rotor is included.

380 mm

The Continental GT V8 MK2 hides its mass well until you ask the brakes to do real work. At well over two tonnes, with the 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 sitting over the nose and four-wheel drive putting all of it down, the standard rear discs run short of thermal headroom long before the chassis runs short of grip. This XYZ Racing rear big brake kit for the Bentley Continental GT V8 MK2 tackles that head-on, pairing a forged rear caliper with a hollow-vane two-piece floating disc that sheds heat faster between heavy stops.

It is a rear-axle kit, so it works as a balance partner to the front rather than a standalone cure. On a heavy all-wheel-drive GT that translates to a firmer, more repeatable pedal on a long alpine descent and a rear end that stays composed when you brake deep into a downhill bend or a fast roundabout.

What this brake kit does for your 2011-2018 Bentley Continental GT V8 MK2

The two-piece floating disc trims rotating and unsprung mass at the rear axle, which sharpens how quickly the back of the car responds and helps the brakes recover temperature between applications. The forged caliper spreads clamping load across a larger pad footprint, so retardation stays linear instead of going soft as the pads heat. Three pad compounds (Street, Sport and Racing) let you match the rear bias to how the car is used, from refined road touring to repeated hard stops on a circuit or autobahn blast. The result is a Bentley Continental GT V8 MK2 that pulls up straighter and feels more honest through the middle of the pedal.

About the Rear Brake Kit

The rear brake kit is a matched pair of left and right rear calipers and discs, built around a hollow-vane two-piece floating disc and a fixed forged caliper, machined to the "6 points 8.0 MM" fitment designation specific to this Continental GT V8 MK2 application. The disc design removes material to reduce mass while keeping the swept face needed to absorb the energy a two-tonne GT generates under braking, and it is offered drilled or slotted at the same price. The caliper body is hollow as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade (no dust cover, 1000C rated, two-year warranty) for harder driving. Braided lines keep the pedal firm. Included painted finishes are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone for a small upcharge, plus premium polished-forged (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver) and candy (Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, Candy Orange) finishes. Pad selection runs across Street, Sport and Racing compounds, letting the kit scale from a comfort-led road setup to a harder track-focused bite. Two-tone centre bells in five anodized colours, or titanium, are selectable at checkout. It is engineered as a rear big brake upgrade rather than a cosmetic swap, with the caliper and disc specified together to keep the axle balance correct.

Fitment for the Bentley Continental GT V8 MK2 (2011-2018)

Choosing your spec

Every kit is built to order around the choices you make above. Here is what each option actually changes, so you can spec yours with confidence.

Brake pads — Street, Sport or Racing

Every kit ships with a full set of high-performance pads; the compound is your call.

Street is the right default for fast-road driving — a strong, progressive cold bite with low noise, low dust and long disc life. Sport raises the working temperature and adds bite and fade resistance for hard road use and the occasional track day, while still behaving on a cold morning. Racing is a track compound built for sustained abuse: huge fade resistance and bite once heat is in it, at the cost of more noise and dust when cold. Match the pad to how hard you actually use the brakes — there is no benefit to a race pad that never gets up to temperature.

Caliper grade — Hollow vs Hollow Racing

Hollow is the standard caliper on every kit: a hollow-body forged caliper, lighter than a solid one, fitted with a dust cover and backed by a 5-year oil-leak warranty. For most fast-road and spirited track use it is all the caliper you need.

Hollow Racing is the track-grade upgrade. It runs the same hollow body but without a dust cover (so there is nothing to melt at sustained high temperature), uses a twin-metal piston that isolates heat travelling from the disc to the oil seal, and is rated to 1000°C. Available 330–356mm (rear). Warranty is 2 years on oil leaks and 10 years on appearance. Built for professional racing and repeated track days.

Caliper colour & finish

Painted colours (Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, Anodized Black) are included at no cost. Want an exact match to your car? Custom Color (+£150) paints the calipers to any Pantone code you supply (15–20 day lead time).

Polished Forged finishes are the flagship: a forged caliper given a mirror-polished surface treatment that shifts colour with the viewing angle. Beyond the looks, the polished surface dissipates heat better, resists rust and stands up to the weather. Choose Titanium (neochrome, +£350), Polished Gold (+£300) or Polished Silver (+£250). They look their best paired with a titanium centre bell. Care: clean only with a dilute neutral cleaner or water.

Candy colours (+£200) use a deep candy-paint and polishing process for a mirror-reflection, boutique finish — pick Teal, Blue, Red or Orange (shown below right).

Centre bells

The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. The standard anodized centre bell is included. The Two-tone bell (+£200) adds an anodized accent ring — choose Red, Yellow, Orange, Purple or Silver right here at checkout. The Titanium centre bell (+£500) is a forged titanium bell (bolts not included) that finishes off the polished-forged look.
