This is one of those crazy car conversions
that you think exists only in posters, but it’s not. This is the Mansory
Cabrera, which is basically a fully converted Lamborghini Aventador SVJ. Only
three units conversions be produced for “willing” Aventador SVJ owners
worldwide, and it’s launched to celebrate Mansory’s 30th anniversary.
In typical Lamborghini tradition, Mansory
chose the name Cabrera, which is one of the best known and important breeding
lines in Spanish bull fighting history. Other prominent breeds were the
Gallardo and Miura, but those were obviously taken.
The Cabrera conversion includes an
extensive carbon-fibre makeover for the external bodywork, effectively making
the SVJ close to 41 mm wider. It’s finished in a special paint colour called
Vento Verde, and it also comes complete with newly-developed LED headlights and
separate LED DRLs.
Apparently, the air inlets in the front
apron helps optimise air flow to the radiator. The apron has also been designed
to increase downforce, which the company says improves overall road grip. The
sides get prominently sculpted skirts to go with the wider wheel arches (a
well-known Mansory trait), and the Cabrera also features a new underbody double
diffuser for better air flow.
At the back, the conversion brings a new
rear lip, quad exhaust exits, as well as a huge fixed spoiler. The engine
bonnet also appears to be bolder, featuring a cleverly designed roof scoop with
an attachment that connects to the spoiler. The wheels can also be swapped out
for Mansory’s more aero-inspired forged alloy wheels, if you so fancy.
The green exterior theme continues into
the cabin, featuring distinct arrow-shaped decorative seams with forged carbon
graphics. There’s ample use of Alcantara and carbon-fibre, while unique touches
include the Cabrera badging on the dashboard, new floor mats, and green leather
door pulls.
On the performance side of things, the
Cabrera remains powered by the Aventador SVJ’s roaring 6.5 litre naturally-aspirated
V12 engine, which makes 770 hp at 8,500 rpm and 720 Nm at 6,750 rpm in stock
tune. Mansory brought those figures up to 810 hp and 780 Nm, allowing it to
sprint from 0-100 km/h in 2.6 seconds (0.2 seconds quicker). The top speed is
rated at 355 km/h.
Other factory hardwares are reportedly
untouched, so it retains the same seven-speed Independent Shifting Road (ISR)
gearbox, rear-wheel steering (LRS) and four-wheel drive system. The Aventador
SVJ weighs about 1,525 kg, but it’s unclear how much the Mansory Cabrera
weighs.
