Mansory aren’t known for their subtle vehicle customisations, in fact, some projects have been rather eye-watering at times. The Mansory Carbonado Black Diamond isn’t one of them, however, and is a rather enticing version of the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4.

In standard form the Aventador LP700-4 already uses carbon fibre extensively, but Mansory has replaced almost every exterior panel with the strong composite material showcasing its natural carbon fibre weave pattern. The car sports a wider track too, growing by 40 mm in front and 50 mm in the rear. Mansory has put a lot of effort into the ultra-light forged rims with carbon-fibre inlays. The wheels measure 20-inch in front and 21-inch at the rear, with tyres sizes of 255/30 ZR20 and 345/25 ZR21 respectively.

Thanks to an optimised engine management system and an high performance exhaust system, both engine power and acceleration are improved. The Carbonado produces 548 kW at 8 300 r/min and 750 Nm at 6 000 r/min. Acceleration from 0 – 100 km/h takes the V12-powered supercar just 2.8 seconds and top speed is 355 km/h.

The interior has not gone untouched either, with new leather for the seats, dashboard and a newly designed steering wheel. Mansory have also installed non-slip aluminium pedals and carbon fibre inserts on the dashboard.

Mansory hasn’t offered any pricing, which is another way of saying it’s bloody expensive. Just 6 Mansory Carbonados will be built.

A dealer order guide has been uploaded, with no confirmation of the name, except for the code it will use – LP700-4.

Extensive use of carbon-fibre has seen the weight drop from the regular Murcielago’s 1 800 kg to 1 575 kg – with a stripped out version certain to come later on, but only time will tell how light it can go.

As previously reported, the new engine will be a 6.5-litre V12, redesigned from the ground up, making 515 kW at 8 250 r/min and 690 Nm at 5 500 r/min. The new ISR (Independent Shifting Rods) gearbox will be a 7-speed transmission, which will shift in 50 milliseconds. A Haldex all-wheel-drive system will be utilised. Fuel consumption, if you’re interested, is said to be 17.2 L/100km. Top speed will be 350 km/h and it will sprint from 0 – 100km/h in just 2.9 seconds. Fairly quick, it must be said.

Keeping the car on the road will be 19-inch 255/35 tyres on the front and 20-inch 335/30 tyres on the rear. Slowing things down will be 400 mm carbon-ceramic discs, clamped by six-piston calipers up front, and 380 mm carbon-ceramic discs with four-piston calipers at the back.

The car will be available in matt black, matt white, or even a matt maroon/brown Lamborghini calls Marrone Apus. Other finishes include pearl-effect yellow, orange or even dark orange. Metallic and solid blacks can be done as well as a few shades of metallic grey. Conspicuously absent from the colour chart is green.

An electronically controlled rear spoiler will feature, as well as electonically controlled side air intakes. A button will control three different driving modes, plus the car will include a 7-inch multimedia screen. iPod and USB interfaces are standard. And of course, rain-sensing wipers, auto bi-xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights, and a full TFT instrument panel will be included. If sir so requires, Lamborghini will also offer a transparent engine cover.

From what we’ve seen, this will live up to and exceed the infamous Murcielago’s imposing figure as well as redefine its performance focus. 2011?s reveal can’t come quick enough.
