Fits Bentley CONTINENTAL GTC V8 MK2 (2012-2018)

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.

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.

XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Bentley CONTINENTAL GTC V8 MK2 (2012-2018) — 380 mm
380 mm

The second-generation Continental GTC V8 carries well over two tonnes on a convertible structure, and most of that mass wants to keep moving long after you have lifted off. The XYZ Racing rear brake kit works the back axle of that problem, the end of the car that has to settle the chassis and balance the system when a heavy grand tourer is hauled down from a sustained cruise.

This is a rear-axle kit built for fast-road and high-speed touring use rather than circuit work, which is exactly where a GTC earns its keep. The two-piece floating disc cuts rotating mass at the rear corners, and a choice of Street, Sport or Racing pad compounds lets you match the bite to how hard you actually drive the car.

What this brake kit does for your 2012-2018 Bentley Continental GTC V8 MK2

On the road you feel the difference first as consistency. A car this heavy loads its brakes hard on motorway slip roads and long descents, and the two-piece floating rear discs use hollow-vane construction to shed heat faster than a solid casting, so pedal feel holds up where a tired OEM setup starts to go soft. Trimming rotating and unsprung mass at the rear axle also sharpens how the back of the car responds over surface changes mid-corner. With Street pads the GTC stays quiet and clean for daily use; step up through the Sport compound to Racing and the rear axle contributes more bite under repeated hard stops without throwing the balance forward. A broad caliper colour range lets the hardware suit the car behind the wheels.

About the Rear Brake Kit

The rear brake kit is XYZ Racing’s rear-axle braking package for heavy performance and grand-touring platforms, supplied as a matched pair of left and right rear calipers and discs. Its defining feature is the two-piece floating disc, which removes material from the disc body to lower rotating mass and improve thermal behaviour while keeping the swept area a two-tonne car genuinely needs; it comes drilled or slotted at the same price. The forged caliper clamps a larger, better-ventilated rear rotor than the standard arrangement, holding more consistent torque as temperatures climb, and is hollow-body as standard. An optional Hollow Racing upgrade (no dust cover, 1000C rated, two-year warranty) is there for drivers who push harder. Three pad compounds are offered: Street for owners who want a quieter daily bias, Sport for a firmer fast-road bite, and Racing for drivers who lean on the car hard. Each compound trades initial bite, noise and high-temperature stability differently, so the same hardware sets up either as a refined touring brake or a harder-edged performance one. 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. Two-tone centre bells in five anodized colours, or titanium, and braided lines round out the spec.

Fitment for the Bentley Continental GTC V8 (2012-2018)

This kit is built specifically for the second-generation Bentley Continental GTC V8 MK2, covering the 2012 to 2018 model years. It fits the rear axle and is supplied as a rear kit, so pair it with a matching front setup if you intend to upgrade the whole system. Confirm your build year falls inside the 2012-2018 span before configuring.

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.
