Lamborghini
Aventador LP1600-4 Mansory Carbonado GT
Carbon
fibre everywhere the eye can see: The ultralight and high-strength material of
carbon fibre finds ample uses even in the series version of the Lamborghini
Aventador LP700-4. Mansory purposefully continued to use it in the completely
reworked Mansory Carbonado GT as the main component of all its bodywork
components. Every single element of the Mansory aerodynamic design is made in
prepreg autoclave process in perfect surface quality and precision-built into
the vehicle. A carbon fibre weave with a stealth-look is being used, which is
being exclusively deployed by Mansory in vehicle construction.
An
eye-catching new feature of the newly styled Aventador front is the striking
skirt with the optimised air intakes for improved ventilation of the front
radiator. In combination with the new front lip spoiler and the proprietary
developed daytime running lights Mansory has not only achieved an aggressive
appearance but also generated additional drive. Also the front wing, as well as
the bonnet will be exchanged and replaced by proprietary developments. The
sides have grown by 40 millimetres on the front and by a remarkable 50
millimetres on the rear axle in width. Newly designed side skirts are also
fitted. These steady the air flow between the axles and feed additional cooling
air into the drive unit and the rear braking system through integrated routing
channels. The diffuser built into the new rear spoiler stabilises the rear at
high speeds and creates surface contact pressure together with the enlarged
rear wing on the rear axle.The body styling kit is completed by thereplacement
of the roof and engine compartment cover by all-carbon elements.
But
the Mansory customized Aventador impresses not only with its fascinating
design. Mansory has completely reworked the 6.5 litre V12 cylinder and fitted
it with two Mansory turbochargers. Furthermore the pistons, connecting rods,
rod bearings, crankshaft, crank and cylinder head have been replaced by motor
racing parts and now meet the high demands of Kourosh Mansory. Together with
the newly designed exhaust system from the manifold right up to the stainless
steel tailpipes, which give superior performance characteristics. Instead of 700
hp (515 kW) the Carbonado GT achieves an impressive 1600 hp (1176 kW), while
the maximum electronically-limited torque increases to 1200 Nm. This
accelerates the bi-turbo twelve-cylinder from zero to one hundred (km/h) in a
breathtaking 2.1 seconds. The top speed is faster than 370 km/h which is also
significantly higher than with the base vehicle.
Of course, only the best components are worth
considering for the conversion of engine power into propulsion: As the perfect
wheel-tyre combination Mansory has built ultralight striking forged rims with
carbon fibre inlays with 9.0 x 20 and 13.0 x 21 dimensions with Pirelli P ZERO
tyres in VA 255/30 ZR20 and HA 355/25 ZR21 sizes.
The
Lamborghini refinement program finds a perfect fulfilment in the extensive
interior applications. Naturally only the finest of materials are used. The
processed leather used for the seats as well as the dashboard is particularly
durable yet still extraordinarily soft. This characteristic natural product
with its individual graining and the perfect hand stitching conveys an air of
extravagant flair around the newly designed sports steering wheel with airbag.
In order to accent the character of the Carbonado Gt interior even more
non-slip aluminium pedals as well as genuine carbon fibre components are used
on the doors, the fittings and the centre console.
The
newly positioned starter button presents one of the technical highlights of the
interior. In the style of an aircraft cockpit switch Mansory has relocated this
red switch from the centre console to the roof lining.
