Caliper render for this kit:
The Continental GTC V8 MK2 is a convertible grand tourer that tips the scales at well over two tonnes in production trim, and the biturbo V8 applies that mass to the front braking circuit with considerable force under hard deceleration from motorway speed. The XYZ Racing Hollow front brake kit fits the 2012-2018 GTC’s front axle and raises the performance ceiling above what the factory hardware can comfortably manage under sustained hard use.
It is a single-axle front kit, supplying a matched pair of front calipers and front discs. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, are set at the point of order, so a single kit suits the owner using the Continental GTC V8 as a fast daily through to more deliberate driving.
What this brake kit does for your 2012-2018 Bentley CONTINENTAL GTC V8 MK2
The V8 MK2’s biturbo powerplant is the lighter Continental option, but the GTC convertible’s kerb weight remains formidable, and the front axle absorbs the majority of deceleration work from high speed. On the roads this car belongs on, fast A-roads, Alpine descents, sweeping Highland routes, the factory front hardware reaches its limits quickly when driven with intent. The XYZ Racing Hollow kit addresses braking force and fade resistance at the front, with hollow-vane two-piece floating discs that shed heat faster than a solid casting and keep pad contact even as the rotor expands.
Three pad compounds suit different use without requiring component swaps: Street is the quiet, low-dust road default, Sport adds bite and heat range for fast-road work, and Racing is the dedicated circuit compound. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price. Caliper finish runs from the included painted colours of Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, through Custom Color in any Pantone, to premium polished-forged and candy options, so the hardware complements the GTC’s large-diameter alloys, which on a car of this size frame the braking architecture directly in view.
About the Hollow front brake kit
The Hollow series from XYZ Racing is applied to GT and performance vehicles where the factory braking hardware and the demands of sustained hard use are not well matched. The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, paring mass from the corner while preserving clamping force, and the two-piece discs do the thermal work. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, are specified on the same kit at order, meaning the configuration suits the owner rather than a single use case.
Caliper finish covers the included painted colours of Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, alongside Custom Color in any Pantone and premium polished-forged or candy options for bespoke colour matching. Disc style is drilled or slotted at the same price, and centre bell upgrades in two-tone anodized colours or titanium are selectable at checkout, alongside braided lines. For serious track use, the optional Hollow Racing caliper upgrade runs without a dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. The kit addresses the front axle only, leaving the rear braking circuit unaltered and the GTC’s existing brake balance intact as a baseline.

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 286–380mm (front). 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.
