Rear performance wing Mansory Carbon for Lamborghini Aventador S

Mansory Carbon Rear Performance Wing for Lamborghini Aventador S

The Mansory Carbon Rear Performance Wing slots into the post-2017 Mansory Body Kit for Lamborghini Aventador S as the middle option in a four-step rear-element ladder. It sits above the rear ducktail spoiler and below the largest high-downforce wing, giving owners a single-plane element that adds genuine rear axle load without lifting the visual mass of the biplane variant. Because the LP740-4 S runs no central-channel active aero, the wing has full freedom across the rear deck — Mansory positions it on swan-neck stays, sweeps the trailing edge into the rear-screen line, and lets the naturally aspirated V12's intake roar travel cleanly through the engine cover behind it. Owners specify it when the ducktail feels too quiet and the largest plank feels too track-only.

Construction & Materials

The element is a one-piece prepreg lay-up cured under autoclave pressure, with a hollow core that keeps mass low while preserving torsional stiffness across the span. Mansory wraps the visible skin in 3K twill aligned to the chord line, then optionally offers a forged-look insert on the swan-neck stays or a 2K plain-weave centre-strake for buyers wanting a more graphic break. The aerofoil section is a custom Mansory profile — single-element, moderate camber, designed for road-biased downforce levels rather than the SVJ-class coefficient targets of the largest wing.

• Visible weave: 3K twill standard; 2K plain or forged-pattern accent on request
• Cure: autoclave prepreg, ~120 °C / 6 bar cycle
• Wall thickness: 1.6–2.2 mm depending on zone, with localised ply build-ups around the swan-neck mounting bosses
• Element weight: ~3.4 kg complete with stays and hardware
• Mounting hardware: stainless-steel cap-heads into bonded aluminium back-plates, captive on the engine-cover boundary
• Optional bolt-on gurney lip (Wickerbill-style strip) along the trailing edge for extra rear axle load
• Finish: high-build clear lacquer with UV stabiliser; raw matte and satin offered as alternatives
• Edge treatment: trimmed and post-cured, then hand-flatted before final lacquer to remove any pinholes

Design & Visual Function

Visually the single-plane element is the calmest of the proper wings in the Mansory line. The chord is moderate, the swan-neck stays grow up out of the rear deck instead of bolting onto pedestals, and the leading edge curves slightly to echo the hexagonal cues across the rear of the Aventador S. Light catches the upper surface like a long blade, and from three-quarter rear the wing reads as one continuous shape with the rear screen — far less industrial than the largest plank, far more present than the ducktail. The forged-look stay option breaks the carbon monotony for owners commissioning two-tone interiors.

Aerodynamically the brief is balance. Because the LP740-4 S is a road-driven supercar with rear-wheel steering doing a lot of the high-speed stability work, an oversized wing pushes the front end into understeer at autobahn pace. The single-plane element targets a measured rise in rear axle load that complements the rear-steer system rather than fighting it. Mansory tunes the angle of attack within a small mechanical range; for road use the shallower setting keeps drag in check while still producing meaningful press at sustained 250+ km/h cruise. Switch in the optional gurney lip and the element behaves more like a track tool — useful at private circuit days without committing to the largest variant.

The single plane also leaves the engine cover above the V12 visually unbroken. Owners who fit the engine bonnet often pair this wing precisely because it floats clear on swan-neck stays, letting the carbon weave of the cover read uninterrupted underneath. The biplane variant covers more of that surface from rear three-quarter angles; the largest wing dominates it. The mid-tier element is the visual compromise — and arguably the most photogenic of the four.

Compatibility & Fitment

Designed exclusively for the Lamborghini Aventador S (LP740-4 S), coupé and Roadster, model years 2017 through 2021. The wing locates on the rear-deck corners using bonded back-plates that respect the methacrylate-bonded panel chemistry of the Aventador's CFRP monocoque. Pre-SVJ rear bumper and rear-deck contour are required; the lower-side exhaust outlets remain entirely clear of the wing footprint. Because the Aventador S has no central-channel active-aero element, the wing footprint occupies a continuous span across the deck without any geometry constraint in the middle. OEM rear parking sensors, third brake light line of sight, and engine-cover hinge clearance are all preserved.

Installation & Reversibility

Installation runs four to six hours for a standalone wing fit on a clean engine cover. The workflow is template the back-plate locations, drill through the OEM cover into the captive bosses, abrade and prime the bond zones, apply Mansory-specified methacrylate adhesive on the bonded back-plates, then mechanically fasten the swan-neck stays. The wing element is then offered up to the stays and torqued in the supplied sequence. Sealing is done with a thin polyurethane bead around the back-plate perimeter to keep moisture off the bond line.

Reversibility is partial: the wing comes off easily, but the bonded back-plates leave footprint shadows on the engine cover that need refinishing if the car is returned to OEM. That's typical for swan-neck stay installations across all premium tuner wings — the trade-off for the cleaner aesthetic versus a pedestal-mount pillar bolted through the deck. We recommend a Lamborghini-certified body shop or a Mansory-trained installer for first fitment; subsequent removal for transport or paintwork is straightforward once the bond plates are calibrated.

Pairing within the Mansory Aventador S programme

The four rear-element options each have a clear personality. The rear spoiler ducktail is the OEM-look raise — visually subtle, light downforce, road-biased. This single-plane performance wing is the next step up: visible, swan-neck mounted, balanced for fast road plus occasional track use. The biplane performance wing stacks two tiers for stronger rear load and a more graphic silhouette without growing the footprint outboard. The rear high-performance wing is the largest plank — track-focused downforce numbers, tallest stays, most aggressive read. Owners commissioning the present wing are choosing the mid-tier deliberately: real measurable downforce, swan-neck elegance, and a profile that flatters the rear-screen line rather than overpowering it.

Maintenance & Durability

Lacquered carbon on the upper surface accumulates bug strike at speed; deal with it within hours rather than letting acidic residue soften the clear coat. Use a pH-neutral shampoo, soft microfibre, and rinse from front to rear so debris travels off the trailing edge rather than across the chord. Avoid alkaline traffic-film removers, ammonia glass cleaners, and any abrasive sponge — all three will haze the lacquer over a season. A ceramic coating rated to at least 9H gives roughly two to three years of UV protection on the upper surface and is the recommended treatment; carnauba wax is fine for show prep but offers shorter UV defence. Check the swan-neck stay torque every six months — sustained high-speed loading does walk fasteners over time. Stone chip on the leading edge is repairable: scuff, fill with optical-grade clear, polish back. Engine-bay heat off the dry-sump V12 is well below the wing zone, so thermal degradation isn't a meaningful concern at the trailing edge.

Lead Time & Warranty

Lead time is four to eight weeks from order, reflecting Mansory's bespoke prepreg lay-up workflow and the autoclave queue. Specifying a non-standard weave (forged-look, 2K plain) or a custom lacquer (raw matte, satin, tinted clear) sits at the upper end of that range. Warranty is twelve months against manufacturing defects — delamination, lacquer crazing not caused by impact, hardware corrosion. Stone-chip damage and over-torque damage on the stays sit outside warranty as standard.

FAQ

Q: How much downforce does the single-plane wing add versus the ducktail?
A: Mansory has not published comparative coefficients, but the practical step is meaningful — at sustained 250 km/h the single plane produces a measurable rear-axle load increase that owners report as steadier turn-in and reduced lift sensation, where the ducktail mainly trims wake.

Q: Single-plane versus biplane — which one for road use?
A: The single-plane element here. The biplane stacks more pressure for the same span and edges into track-bias territory; the single plane keeps drag and noise more livable for autobahn and long-distance road work.

Q: Can I add the gurney lip later?
A: Yes. The optional Wickerbill-style strip bolts onto pre-formed locating points along the trailing edge and is fully retrofittable without removing the main element.

Q: Does the wing fit Roadster as well as coupé?
A: Yes — the rear-deck geometry and engine-cover hinge line are common across coupé and Roadster, so the same wing and back-plates serve both bodies.

Q: Swan-neck stays versus pedestal mounts — what's the practical difference?
A: Swan-neck stays attach to the upper surface of the wing element, leaving the lower surface — where most of the aerodynamic work happens — uninterrupted. Pedestal mounts pierce the lower surface and trade some efficiency for simpler installation. Mansory standardises on swan-neck for this element specifically because it keeps the pressure surface clean.

Q: Will the wing clear the lower-side exhaust outlets and engine-cover hinge?
A: Yes. The element span sits well inboard of the lower-side exhaust outlets and the back-plates locate on rigid deck zones outside the hinge swept area, so engine-cover access for service is preserved.
