Mansory Carbon Body Kit for Lamborghini Aventador Carbonado Apertos

MANSORY CARBONADO APERTOS — Full-Carbon Body Programme for the LAMBORGHINI AVENTADOR LP700-4 ROADSTER, the Open-Top Branch of the Carbonado Lineage

The Carbonado is Mansory's defining Aventador programme — a full-carbon-body re-clothing of the LP700-4 in visible-weave carbon, decoupled from the rest of the Mansory catalogue by being built around the idea that an Aventador should not have any painted body panels at all. The Apertos suffix marks the variant dimensioned for the Aventador LP700-4 Roadster, the targa-roof open-top sibling launched 2012 to the original 2011 coupé.

Apertos is the version of Carbonado that solves the problem of a removable carbon-panel roof system on a car that already runs carbon-and-aluminium monocoque construction. The body programme is engineered around the targa storage bay forward of the engine bay, and around the way the Aventador Roadster's two carbon roof panels (~6 kg each) integrate with the Mansory carbon decklid geometry without compromising the storage path.

Aventador Roadster donor — what Apertos is built around

The Aventador LP700-4 Roadster, launched 2012, is the open-top branch of the original Aventador. Two removable carbon-fibre roof panels store in a recess under the front bonnet. Engine: Lamborghini's L539 6.5 L naturally-aspirated V12, the last NA V12 in the Aventador production cycle before the SVJ and the Ultimae sent the platform out. Output: 700 hp / 690 Nm at the LP700-4 spec, rising to 750 hp on the LP750-4 SV Roadster (2015) and 770 hp on the SVJ Roadster (2018-2022). All run permanent AWD via Lamborghini's haldex-derived four-wheel-drive system, single-clutch ISR 7-speed automated gearbox (the same gearbox that gave the Aventador its idiosyncratic shift character right through to the Ultimae), and pushrod-actuated suspension.

• Engine — 6.5 L L539 NA V12 (LP700-4: 700 hp / 690 Nm, 0-100 km/h 3.0 s, top 350 km/h)
• Transmission — ISR (Independent Shifting Rod) single-clutch 7-speed automated
• Drivetrain — Permanent AWD with haldex-style centre coupling and limited-slip differentials
• Roof — Two removable carbon panels (~6 kg each), stored under front bonnet
• Dimensions — 4 780 × 2 030 × 1 136 mm — wheelbase 2 700 mm
• Kerb weight — 1 625 kg dry (Roadster: ~1 700 kg)

The L539 V12 is the focus of why Apertos exists at all. It is Lamborghini's last large-displacement, naturally-aspirated, single-clutch V12 — the engine the Revuelto's hybrid V12 replaces. Apertos as a programme is dimensioned to clothe the last NA-V12 Aventador in carbon as the platform sunsets.

Carbon kit components — Apertos schedule

• Replacement carbon front bumper with Mansory-spec splitter and enlarged radiator and oil-cooler intakes, sized for the L539 V12's thermal load
• Carbon front bonnet re-cut around the targa-roof storage bay; clearances retained so both roof panels stow without modification to factory hinges or seals
• Carbon front fender flares bonded to the factory fenders, +25 mm per side
• Carbon rocker / sill panels with deep ground-effect blade, integrated into the carbon side intakes that feed the rear engine bay
• Carbon side air-intake replacements — the Aventador's iconic side intake geometry rebuilt in carbon with deeper inlet capture for the V12's combustion-air path
• Carbon rear fender flares bonded to the factory rear fenders, +30 mm per side
• Replacement carbon rear bumper with full-width carbon diffuser and the Mansory three-stage exhaust outlet array
• Carbon engine cover and rear deck — re-cut around the open-top engine-bay glass aperture so the V12 remains visible from above
• Active carbon rear wing with three-position deployment angles, replacing or supplementing the factory active rear-wing aerofoil
• Carbon mirror housings and carbon door-handle inserts
• Optional full carbon roof panel set matched to the existing factory two-panel roof geometry for clients who want the visible-weave on the roof itself rather than the body-coloured factory panels

Optional Mansory L539 power programme

Apertos is body-and-wheels by default. The optional Mansory engine programme adds a separate stage of work to the V12: bored, big-bore throttle bodies, freer-flowing inlet, ECU recalibration, and the Mansory three-stage exhaust system. Output rises from 700 hp / 690 Nm to up to 1 600 hp / 1 200 Nm at the highest-tier Carbonado Apertos build — figures that put the package alongside Mansory's most extreme work on any platform, and require a full driveline review before commission.

Most commissions specify a more conservative tune in the 800-1 000 hp band as a balance between the visible-weave body programme and powertrain-warranty implications. The full 1 600 hp programme is reserved for collector commissions where the donor is built specifically as a Carbonado Apertos rather than retrofitted from an existing Aventador.

Wheels — 20" / 21" forged

Factory Aventador Roadster wheel sizes are 20" front / 21" rear. Mansory retains the staggered fitment but specifies 20" / 21" forged on the FM.10 deep-concave multi-spoke and FD.16 dual-spoke directional patterns most associated with Carbonado builds. Tyre fitment 255/35 R20 front, 335/30 R21 rear. Finishes include matte-black, satin-anthracite, polished-face with bronze lip, and the visible-weave forged carbon-face option that matches the body's exposed-weave palette.

Apertos collector context

Carbonado Apertos draws a tighter buyer pattern than the Carbonado coupé — the Roadster Aventador audience is concentrated, and the visible-weave commitment limits the audience further. The buyer is a collector for whom the Aventador is one of several Lamborghinis owned, and for whom the Roadster is preferred over the coupé for Mediterranean and Gulf summer use. Italy is the natural collector centre — Sant'Agata is forty kilometres from Bologna, the Lamborghini collector circle in Modena and Reggio Emilia is dense, and Carbonado Apertos commissions ship most often into the Italian Adriatic and Tuscan summer corridors. Italy country brief.

Commission

Order intake requires: Aventador Roadster VIN, donor confirmation (LP700-4 Roadster 2012-2017, LP750-4 SV Roadster 2015-2017, SVJ Roadster 2018-2022), exterior paint or carbon-weave preference, factory roof-panel specification, scope (body-only vs body + engine programme), engine programme target output if applicable, wheel pattern and finish, destination country.

Quote turnaround 72 hours given the scope of decisions involved. Production typically 14-16 weeks for the body programme and forged wheels alone; the engine programme adds 4-6 weeks. Installation 3-4 weeks at a Lamborghini-experienced workshop. Total order-to-road approximately 5-6 months.

FAQ — Carbonado Apertos

Why "Apertos" — does the kit fit only the Aventador Roadster? Yes. Apertos is the open-top branch of the Carbonado lineage, dimensioned around the Aventador Roadster's targa-roof geometry and the storage path forward of the engine bay. The coupé version is the standard Carbonado.

Will the kit work with the LP750-4 SV Roadster and SVJ Roadster? Yes — the carbon panels are dimensioned to fit LP700-4 / LP750-4 SV / SVJ Roadsters with bumper-mount geometry matched to the donor at order intake. SV and SVJ donors retain their factory aerodynamic identifiers; Apertos is the body programme on top of those, not in place of them.

Does the body programme require the engine programme? No. Carbonado Apertos is body-and-wheels by default. The engine programme is a separate option specifiable independently. Many commissions are body-only.

Is the 1 600 hp number realistic and warranty-compliant? The 1 600 hp number is the highest-tier Mansory L539 programme and requires a full driveline review including ISR gearbox clutch-pack assessment and AWD coupling capacity. It is not warranty-compliant against Lamborghini's factory warranty (which is in any case past expiry on most LP700-4 donors). Most commissions sit in the 800-1 000 hp band.

What about the SV / SVJ active aero? The SV and SVJ run factory active aero — the Mansory active rear wing replaces or supplements that system depending on commission scope. Confirm at order intake whether the factory active aero is to be retained or replaced.
