MODIFIED: Bentley Continental GT W12 (Downpipe & ECU Tune)
The Bentley Continental GT W12 is a marvel of engineering straight from the factory. One of the best in its class, a blend of luxury & performance, but our client wanted a little more punch, a little more edge to it. That's why we went all out with modifications to bring it up to speed: exhaust, body kit, wheels, lowering & protection services. Let's get into it.
Here’s what we installed through ABE Customize & ABE Protect Plus:
1. Custom Downpipe + ECU Tune
Revving (Valves Closed/Open), Drive-By’s, Interior, etc.
The 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged W12 engine isn’t exactly the star of the show in a stock Bentley Continental GT, at least not audibly. From the factory, it’s heavily sound-dampened and conservatively under-tuned. We changed that. By installing a set of custom downpipes and performing a bespoke ECU tune, we unleashed its full potential, taking it from 626 hp to a staggering 760 hp, unlocking an impressive 134 hp gain. The new downpipes not only allow the engine to breathe and perform more freely, but they also make the W12 engine sound incredible with a deep, thunderous 12-cylinder soundtrack. We retained the stock exhaust valves, allowing the client to adjust the volume as desired.

2. Carbon Fiber Body Kit
This carbon fiber body kit was the perfect aesthetic upgrade, bold enough for the build but not over the top. No oversized wings or exaggerated splitters, just a clean, subtle design upgrade that adds depth to the overall look.
The kit includes a front lip, side skirts, rear diffuser, and a rear spoiler.
3. Lowering Links + Wheels
Going OEM+ means perfecting the fitment of your wheels. We always encourage this as the first modification to adjust a "stock-looking" car. Here are several other blog posts where you can see the difference:
1. Why Wheels & Suspension Come First
2. The #1 Modification For Your Car
and countless others on our Blog.
For this Bentley Continental GT W12, we installed lowering links to perfect the fitment and Origin wheels which resemble original Bentley wheels as our client was going for an OEM+ look. Nothing too aftermarket, subtle but dialed in.
4. Ceramic Coating & All-Around Tint + Windshield
The final step for this build: we sealed the whole car from top to bottom in ceramic coating for both ease of maintenance and to give the paint that extra level of gloss. We then installed ceramic tint all around at 20% and 50% on the front windshield for privacy & heat rejection.
If you've got ideas to bring your new supercar that much closer to perfection, get in touch! We would love to help out.
Have a great weekend.
