Mansory Carbon Fiber Body kit set for Lamborghini Aventador Carbonado
The Original MANSORY Carbonado — the 2012 Founding Widebody Programme for the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, Predecessor to Every Subsequent Carbonado Derivative (Apertos, Evo, GT)
When Mansory lifted the silk sheet from the first Carbonado at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, it did not look like a tuning programme — it looked like an unreleased Lamborghini one-off. The Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4, launched in 2011 as the successor to the Murciélago, had barely reached its earliest owners; Mansory's response — the Carbonado — became the blueprint for every future Aventador widebody conversion the company would build for the next decade. This listing is that original programme: the founding Carbonado carbon fiber body kit for the LP700-4 coupé, the donor-agnostic base from which the Carbonado Apertos (roadster-specific derivative with softtop-tonneau carbon integration), the Carbonado Evo (intermediate facelift with Huracán-style LED signature), and the high-number-limited Carbonado GT subsequently evolved. Mechanically the donor remains the Aventador LP700-4's 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated V12 with ISR single-clutch transmission and push-rod rocker suspension; visually the car is rebodied head-to-toe in matte-exposed-weave pre-preg carbon fibre, the signature finish Mansory selected to distinguish Carbonado from the glossy-carbon LP640 Bikini-atelier and the later Carbonado Evo whose weave pattern was refined to a coarser hex-twill.
Why this original Carbonado matters
Three things set the original Carbonado apart from later Aventador programmes — Carbonado Evo, Apertos, or the limited-run Carbonado GT. First, donor specificity: this kit is engineered for the pre-facelift LP700-4 with the original front-fascia geometry (single-element DRL signature before the Y-signature LED cluster introduced on the LP750-4 SV), so the front-bumper overhang, headlight cut-out, and air-intake geometry target that donor and only that donor. Second, matte-weave finish: this was the finish Mansory chose to mark Carbonado as a distinct sub-brand — later Evo and GT editions used refined hex-twill, but the original is matte straight-weave, often described as the 'carbon-camouflage' finish. Third, historical value: the original Carbonado is the single conversion on which every subsequent Mansory Aventador widebody depends — owners who ordered original Carbonados in 2012-2014 are now finding the donor residual and the kit's scarcity working in their favour. This programme remains available to new-donor specification on current original LP700-4 chassis.
Carbon component schedule
Full specification of the original Carbonado bodywork: Carbonado widebody front bumper — full-replacement, sculpted nose with integrated carbon front lip, widened front-apron intakes with carbon-mesh inlet grilles and carbon canards; carbon bonnet — vented central heat-extractor over the radiator, side-intake air scoops; carbon widebody front fenders — bonded +40 mm arch extension per side with carbon-outlet air vents aft of the wheel-arch (to extract front-axle brake heat); carbon side skirts with integrated intake-strakes feeding the mid-engine side-radiators; carbon rear fenders — bonded +50 mm arch extension per side with rear-wheel-arch carbon outlet; carbon rear bumper — full replacement with integrated carbon rear diffuser and exposed exhaust-cutout layout for the Mansory twin-centre-exit or four-exit stainless valved exhaust; fixed carbon rear wing on carbon uprights (swan-neck mount optional on special order); carbon engine bonnet/glass engine-cover frame; carbon roof-scoop replacement (where donor has factory sunroof delete); carbon mirror-caps; carbon front-lip carbon add-on splitter; carbon winglet set. All components pre-preg autoclave-cured carbon fibre, supplied in matte-exposed-weave straight-weave finish as standard; glossy-clearcoat or forged-carbon finish available to order.
The LP700-4 donor — technical specification
The programme targets the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 (2011-2016, pre-facelift chassis before Aventador S / LP740-4 introduction). Powertrain: L539 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated 60° V12, 700 hp (515 kW) at 8 250 rpm, 690 Nm at 5 500 rpm — Lamborghini's first all-new V12 since 1963, dry-sump, direct injection. Transmission: ISR (Independent Shifting Rods) single-clutch automated manual, seven-speed, rear-mounted transaxle. AWD: Haldex-sourced permanent all-wheel drive with torque split biased to rear. Chassis: carbon fibre monocoque tub (Mitsubishi Rayon RTM technology), aluminium front and rear sub-frames. Suspension: pushrod rocker-arm at all four corners — the first Lamborghini with pushrod geometry since the Countach's factory race cars. 0-100 km/h: 2.9 s. Top speed: 350 km/h. Kerb weight: 1 575 kg dry. The original Carbonado programme is specifically engineered for this pre-facelift LP700-4 fascia; post-facelift Aventador S and Aventador SV donors are served by separate Mansory programmes (Carbonado Evo / Carbonado Apertos).
Forged wheel specification
Factory LP700-4 wheels: 20" front / 21" rear staggered. The original Carbonado programme retains this 20"/21" staggered setup — staying true to the period-correct 2012-era specification rather than stepping to 21"/22" as later Evo programmes did. Mansory original Carbonado forged wheels (designs FS.11, FD.5, FM.3, CRS.1 retro-styled) in matte carbon-matching, satin black, brushed titanium, or body-colour with diamond-cut rim lips. Tyre fitment: 255/30 R20 front / 335/25 R21 rear on Pirelli P Zero Corsa or Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2. For owners who want a contemporary larger-wheel look, the 21"/22" staggered setup from the later Evo is retrofittable with pad-clearance checks.

Worldwide delivery — where the original Carbonado lives
The original Carbonado's buyer demographic is different from the later Evo: these are first-generation Aventador LP700-4 owners who have held their car since 2012-2014 and want the period-correct, matte-weave, founding-edition Mansory signature rather than the contemporary Evo with its glossy hex-twill. Shipping destinations include Switzerland (Geneva, Zürich — multiple original Carbonado examples served since 2013), Germany, United Kingdom, Italy, France, Monaco, Austria, Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Spain, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia (Riyadh, Jeddah), Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, United States (California, Florida, New York — where collector-demographic LP700-4 donors concentrate), Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Japan (particularly Tokyo — the original Carbonado has a strong Japanese collector following), Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Australia, China, Kazakhstan (Almaty), Russia (permitted), Turkey, South Africa. Country-specific shipping and installer guides: Switzerland, Italy, Japan, Brazil, South Africa.

FAQ — Original Carbonado for LP700-4
Is the original Carbonado still produced, or only historically available? Produced to order on LP700-4 donors — Mansory maintains the original moulds and autoclave tooling, and current owners of period-correct LP700-4 chassis still commission new original Carbonados.
What distinguishes the original from Carbonado Evo visually? The original uses matte-exposed straight-weave pre-preg carbon with a finer twill; the Evo uses a coarser hex-twill, plus revised front-fascia geometry tracking the LP750-4 SV headlight signature.
Does the kit require engine-ECU work or remain mechanically stock? The bodywork is non-invasive to the drivetrain. Optional Mansory stainless-steel exhaust and dyno remap (up to 800 hp on the 6.5 V12) are sold separately.
Can the original Carbonado be fitted to a post-facelift Aventador S? Not directly — the front-fascia geometry differs. S-chassis owners should look at the Carbonado Evo programme, which is engineered for post-facelift LED signature donors.
Does the softtop (roadster) LP700-4 fit this coupé kit? No — the roadster (LP700-4 Roadster) has distinct rear-quarter geometry around the softtop tonneau. The dedicated roadster derivative is the Carbonado Apertos, sold as a separate listing.
Is the original Carbonado certifiable for EU / TÜV registration? Yes — full TÜV-documented installation for body kit, wheel fitment, and exhaust emissions is issued for EU LP700-4 chassis on request.
What is typical lead time for a complete build-ready kit? Approximately 2.5 to 3.5 months from confirmed VIN-specific order to crated delivery, plus 2-3 weeks local installation and paintwork.
