Mansory program modifies Lamborghini Aventador sports car
In honor of the super sports car, the “one-of-one” converted Mansory Carbonado GTS combines visual aesthetics and technical functionality, complete with a full carbon fiber body and exterior composite components.
After more than 12 years of production and about 11,500 cars in total —though it was originally strictly limited by the manufacturer to 800 units — 2022 was the end for the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ Roadster super sports car. To pay tribute to this key model of the Italian luxury brand, Mansory Design & Holding GmbH (Brand, Germany) pays tribute to the end of its production with a “one-of-one” complete conversion. The result is the Mansory Carbonado GTS.
The completely redesigned carbon fiber body alone is said to be reminiscent of a fighting bull in attack posture. Even the allusion to the shape of stealth aircraft gives the Carbonado GTS a thoroughly desirable, attack-minded look. In addition to the looks, however, the technology has also undergone numerous improvements.
For example, the air intakes in the front apron optimize the flow of fresh air into the radiator. Together with the specially developed front lip, this also results in improved downforce for greater overall grip. On the side, visual aesthetics and technical functionality work together — side skirts and the grown wheel arches show the Mansory signature, while new carbon fiber components supply large amounts of fresh air to the power unit under the new full-carbon engine cover and the rear braking system. A newly developed double diffuser is also responsible for improving airflow underneath the vehicle, and a large rear spoiler in cooperation with the rear apron, which also generates additional downforce, is responsible for downforce on the rear axle.
All of these aerodynamic improvements support the vehicle’s V12 engine with its 6.5 liters of displacement and its peak output of 820 horsepower for maximum performance in all areas. This enables the Mansory Carbonado GTS to travel from zero to 100 kilometers/hour in exactly 2.8 seconds.
To transfer the power of the twelve-cylinder without slippage, Mansory relies on “CV.7 Air” forged alloy wheels in conjunction with high-performance tires. Carbonado GTS is standard all-wheel drive.
As seen on the exterior, the vehicle’s “Cupreus” color (copper/black) was also brought into the interior. The interior is decorated with arrow-shaped decorative stitching and upgraded with Forged Carbon applications to captivate the car’s numerous details and gives the Carbonado GTS a sporty touch with technical appeal.
