Carbonado GT is the build the rest of the Aventador Mansory catalogue points up to. Where the Carbonado Original in 2012 founded the lineage at 1 250 hp, where the Carbonado Apertos drew an open-top variant for Roadster donors, and where the Carbonado EVO rebuilt the second-generation stealth schedule, the GT does what the others stop short of: it takes the L539 6.5-litre V12 to roughly 1600 hp through a twin-turbocharger conversion, redraws every body panel in forged carbon, and lifts aerodynamic loading to the most aggressive geometry in the lineage. The parallel SVJ-donor programme is the Carbonado GTS; the aero-only Aventador S brief sits one tier down at the Aventador S Mansory page. The GT is a halo commission — built to order, configured per car, with no two identical.
Three things. Power: the Original launched at 1 250 hp, the EVO sits between 1 200 and 1 400 hp, and the Carbonado GT runs at ~1600 hp through twin-turbocharging the L539 V12 — the largest delta over factory LP700-4 (~900 hp) any Mansory road-car programme delivers on a single donor. Body geometry: deeper front splitter than the Original or EVO, dive planes at +25 mm protrusion, deeper rear diffuser with six fence elements (vs four on the Original), and a fixed swan-neck rear wing on the rear deck rather than a deck-integrated lip. Finish library: forged-carbon flake by default rather than twill weave, with dry-carbon upgrade available on every panel that the Original and EVO offer only on bumpers and bonnet.
Built around the Lamborghini L539 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated 60-degree V12 in LP700-4 base trim: 700 PS at 8 250 rpm, 690 Nm at 5 500 rpm, paired with the ISR (Independent Shifting Rod) single-clutch 7-speed automated manual (50 ms shifts) and Lamborghini's Haldex AWD. 0-100 km/h: 2.9 seconds. Top speed: 350 km/h. Wheelbase: 2 700 mm. Length: 4 780 mm. Dry weight: 1 575 kg. The carbon-fibre monocoque is what makes Carbonado possible without structural reinforcement — the chassis is already a single-piece carbon tub, and the wide-body work bonds against existing carbon hardpoints.
The conversion replaces the L539's catalytic-converter section with a pair of compact-housing turbochargers mounted in the engine bay's rear quarters. The factory NA intake plenum is retained; the calibration is rewritten from scratch by the workshop's powertrain partner against a turbocharged combustion cycle. Headline output: ~1600 hp at 8 200 rpm with peak torque ~1 350 Nm at 5 500 rpm. The intercooler stack mounts behind the rear-quarter intake apertures, so the kit re-cuts the rear air-intake covers around enlarged duct openings. The ISR transmission is reinforced with an upgraded clutch pack rated to the new torque envelope; the Haldex differential is recalibrated. The conversion is reversible at the workshop's powertrain-partner level. Operating fuel: 98+ RON unleaded mandatory.
Forged-carbon flake is the default visible finish across every panel; the marbled-flake surface is what visually distinguishes a Carbonado GT from the twill weave on the Original and EVO. Hidden mounting flanges are reinforced FRP for daily-driver durability rather than show-only carbon. Painted-carbon, twill alternative and matte-clear finishes are available on commission.
Workshop fitment time: 20 to 25 working days for a complete commission including paint-prep, twin-turbo install and ISR clutch-pack upgrade. Once bonded, the rear flares are not field-removable without workshop tools.
The GT is specified around the Mansory CV7 Air fully-forged wheel in 9x20" front and 13x21" rear with the OEM Aventador centre-lock pattern (or 5-lug bolt pattern depending on chassis generation). Tyre fitment: 255/30 ZR20 front, 355/25 ZR21 rear, with Pirelli P Zero or Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S the recommended compounds. Standard finishes: gloss black, matte black, anthracite, gun-metal with diamond-cut accents, paint-to-Lamborghini-Ad-Personam. The forging clears the OEM Lamborghini carbon-ceramic brake package without spacers.

Carbonado GT volume is intentionally low — a halo commission concentrated in collector-corridor markets that hold low-mileage Aventador donors in long-hold:
Carbonado GT commissions open via [email protected] with the donor VIN, the Aventador variant declaration (LP700-4 / LP720-4 Anniversario / LP740-4 S / LP780-4 Ultimae), the build year, the OEM Lamborghini Ad Personam paint code, the desired output specification (1 400 hp / 1 500 hp / ~1 600 hp), and the destination country. WhatsApp +44 7488 818747 handles the fastest turnaround on landed-quote calculations. Lead times: full carbon panel set 14 to 18 weeks; twin-turbo system manufacture and bench-calibration 10 to 12 weeks in parallel; body-shop install 20 to 25 working days; CV7 Air forged wheel set 4-5 weeks; cabin retrim 4-6 weeks in parallel. Total commission lead time from deposit to driveable car: 20 to 24 weeks. Hodoor coordinates door-to-door international logistics across all listed corridors.
How does the Carbonado GT compare with the Carbonado EVO at the body level?
The GT carries deeper aero geometry (deeper splitter, dive planes, deeper rear diffuser with six fence elements vs four on the EVO, fixed swan-neck rear wing rather than the EVO's deck-integrated lip). The GT defaults to forged-carbon flake where the EVO defaults to twill weave. Mechanically, the GT's twin-turbo conversion sits at the apex; the EVO is configured per order between ~1 200 and 1 400 hp on naturally-aspirated calibration evolutions.
Can the GT body schedule be commissioned without the twin-turbo conversion?
Yes. Owners can commission the body schedule on a stock-engine donor (700 PS LP700-4 or 740 PS LP740-4 S) without the twin-turbocharger conversion. Commission accordingly with the "body-only" flag at order intake.
Will a Carbonado GT build affect collector-trajectory value?
The body work bonds rear fender flares to the OEM monocoque hardpoints; once bonded, the flares are not field-removable without workshop tools. Owners with a long-hold collector use case should weigh the irreversible nature of the bonding. The twin-turbo conversion is reversible at the powertrain-partner level. Body-only specifications (no fender bonding) preserve a higher reversibility envelope at the cost of less aggressive wheel fitment.
Does the Carbonado GT panel set transfer to a Lamborghini Revuelto?
No. The Revuelto runs an entirely different platform, a different L545 V12 engine code, a different transmission and a different bodyshell architecture. Revuelto commissions route to the dedicated Revuelto Mansory page.
What is the operating fuel requirement after the twin-turbocharger conversion?
The calibration runs on 98 RON unleaded as minimum; 100 RON is recommended for sustained high-output operation. The factory Aventador-spec 95 RON map is not supported on the GT calibration. Owners commissioning into markets with limited 98+ RON availability should declare destination fuel grade at order so the calibration is adjusted within the workshop's safe envelope.
