Trunk mat Mansory for Ferrari 296 GTB
Trunk Mat Mansory for Ferrari 296 GTB
The Ferrari 296 GTB is a mid-rear engined car: the F163 twin-turbo V6 and the hybrid powertrain assembly occupy the space behind the occupants, leaving the front of the car — what would be the engine bay on a front-engined GT — as the primary luggage compartment. This front trunk, or frunk, is a defining convenience of the mid-engine layout: it provides fully enclosed, weatherproof luggage storage ahead of the front axle in a position that is easily accessible without raising the rear bonnet. The 296 GTB's frunk has a specific contoured geometry — shaped by the front suspension geometry, the front luggage compartment liner, and the bonnet inner structure — that defines the surface a trunk mat must follow. An incorrectly dimensioned mat will not lie flat in this contoured space, leaving exposed OEM carpet at the boundaries or creating raised edges that shift under luggage load. The Mansory Trunk Mat is produced to a precision template derived from the 296 GTB front luggage compartment geometry, ensuring that every edge and contour of the mat follows the OEM compartment profile accurately. As part of the Mansory Carbon Fiber Body kit set for Ferrari 296 GTB, this mat completes the interior material coverage programme by extending the premium surface finish from the cockpit to the storage compartment, ensuring that every interior surface the owner opens and looks into is finished at the same quality level as the cabin.
Construction & Materials
The Mansory Trunk Mat for the 296 GTB is produced in the same material options as the Mansory floor mats: a deep-pile premium tufted carpet as the standard option, or genuine Alcantara for the premium specification. The standard carpet version uses an 8 mm pile tufted polypropylene-nylon carpet in the owner's choice of colour from the Mansory palette, providing warm, luxurious surface coverage of the frunk floor and side walls with a pile character that distinguishes it from the thinner OEM-specification cargo liner material. The Alcantara option applies the same microfibre material used in Ferrari's own interior Alcantara trim applications, providing a surface that matches the cockpit Alcantara specification in texture and sheen. Both versions carry a Mansory logo embroidered at the centre of the mat face in a contrasting thread colour. The backing is compression-moulded to the 296 GTB frunk contour at 3.5 mm rubber-nitrile, providing anti-slip retention against the OEM compartment liner without adhesive or mechanical fasteners — the mat is held in position by the combination of contoured fit and rubber backing friction. The cut perimeter is finished with a leather or Alcantara edge binding to protect the cut edge and present a clean boundary where the mat transitions to the compartment walls.

Design & Visual Function
The front luggage compartment of the 296 GTB is one of the most frequently exposed interior surfaces of the car — every time the front bonnet is opened, whether at a fuel stop, at a valet service, or at a car meeting where enthusiasts gather to inspect the specification, the interior of the frunk is visible. The quality of the trunk mat is therefore a public-facing element of the interior programme, not merely a private utility. An owner who has invested in a comprehensive Mansory interior and exterior programme will not want the frunk to present OEM carpet quality when the bonnet is raised; the Mansory Trunk Mat ensures that the visual quality of the front compartment interior matches the ambition of the rest of the car's specification.
The Alcantara option is particularly effective in the frunk environment because the material's matte, low-sheen surface photographs well and presents a luxury aesthetic under all lighting conditions — from bright direct sunlight to the overhead lighting of a car show indoor venue. The Mansory logo embroidery at the centre of the mat provides programme identification in the frunk that mirrors the logo treatment in the cockpit floor mats, creating a consistent branding approach across every mat surface in the car. In monochrome Alcantara frunk mats, the embroidery thread colour provides the only tonal contrast in the compartment, making the logo placement both intentional and subtle — identifiable to those who know the programme, invisible to those who are simply seeing a luxury finish.
Practically, the trunk mat protects the OEM front luggage compartment liner from the luggage, sports bags, or other items that accumulate in the frunk over the car's life. The OEM liner — typically a moulded plastic or thin carpet panel — cannot be replaced without a workshop operation; damage from sharp luggage hardware or chemical contamination from aerosol cans or liquids in bags would require a significant repair. The Mansory mat sits as a sacrificial protection layer over this liner, absorbing all contact and contamination, and can be removed for cleaning or replacement without any effect on the underlying OEM surface.
Compatibility & Fitment
The Mansory Trunk Mat fits the Ferrari 296 GTB coupé (2022+) and 296 Assetto Fiorano. The 296 GTS uses the same front luggage compartment geometry and is compatible with the same mat. Confirm at order stage if any factory-installed luggage system or front compartment organiser is fitted, as these may affect the mat coverage area. LHD and RHD configurations use the same frunk geometry; a single mat pattern serves both configurations.
Installation & Reversibility
Installation is straightforward: open the front bonnet, remove any OEM cargo liner or mat from the compartment, place the Mansory mat in the compartment with the rubber-nitrile backing face down, and press firmly to seat the contoured backing against the OEM liner profile. The mat locates by contoured fit and friction — no tools or fasteners required. Removal for cleaning is equally simple: lift the mat from the compartment. The OEM liner beneath is completely unaffected.
Pairing within the Mansory 296 GTB programme
The trunk mat pairs naturally with the Floor Mats Mansory for Ferrari 296 GTB to complete the mat programme across both the cockpit and the front storage compartment, and can be specified in matching colour and material options to create a unified interior mat scheme. For maximum interior coverage, add the Entrance Panels with Illuminated Mansory Logo for Ferrari 296 GTB, which extend the programme to the door aperture sill surfaces — the transition zone between the exterior and interior environments that every entry and exit highlights.
Maintenance & Durability
The frunk mat accumulates luggage contact marks, road grime from items placed directly from the ground, and occasional liquid contamination from bottles or containers. The rubber-nitrile backing is fully waterproof and wipeable; spills on the backing are contained without penetrating to the OEM liner. The carpet or Alcantara upper face should be maintained as described for the floor mats: vacuum for carpet, brush with Alcantara cleaner for the Alcantara version. The mat can be removed from the compartment for washing and returned once fully dry. Embroidery is colourfast under all recommended cleaning agents.
Lead Time & Warranty
Trunk mats carry a 2–3 week lead time from order confirmation with colour and material selection confirmed. The 12-month warranty covers cut accuracy, backing adhesion, and embroidery quality. Contact Hodoor with order reference for any quality queries. We recommend ordering the trunk mat simultaneously with the floor mats to ensure material and colour consistency across the complete mat programme.
FAQ
Q: Does the trunk mat cover only the floor of the frunk, or does it cover the sides as well?
A: The standard Mansory trunk mat covers the floor of the 296 GTB frunk compartment with edge binding to the compartment walls. Optional full-coverage variants that include side wall lining panels can be discussed at order stage — contact Hodoor to confirm the available coverage configurations for the current production programme.
Q: Can I order the trunk mat and floor mats in matching Alcantara with the same embroidery?
A: Yes — ordering both the trunk mat and floor mats simultaneously allows Hodoor to confirm that the Alcantara batch and embroidery thread are consistent across all mats in the order, ensuring a matched result across all mat surfaces in the car.
Q: Will the mat cover the front bonnet release mechanism area inside the frunk?
A: The mat template is designed to clear the OEM bonnet release mechanism and any drainage grommets in the frunk floor. If you have any aftermarket modification to the frunk interior, confirm compatibility at order stage.
Q: Is the Alcantara trunk mat easy to maintain if a luggage item spills liquid onto it?
A: Alcantara is a microfibre material that has low liquid absorption compared to tufted carpet but is not waterproof — absorb spills immediately with a clean dry cloth, then clean the affected area with Alcantara specialist cleaner per the manufacturer's guidance. The rubber-nitrile backing prevents any liquid that soaks through the Alcantara from reaching the OEM liner.
