A standard Lamborghini Revuelto has 1,015 hp. At some point, you’d imagine a tuner would look at that number and decide the engine probably isn’t the part requiring urgent attention.
MANSORY is not that tuner.
The Carbonado X takes Lamborghini’s hybrid V12 supercar to 1,120 hp, wraps it in completely redesigned carbon-fiber bodywork and turns the whole thing into a one-off machine for MANSORY’s Atelier showroom in Dubai.
“One of One” is often abused in the tuning world. Change the paint and stitching on a car and suddenly somebody wants to describe it as unique.
Carbonado X makes a considerably stronger argument.
MANSORY says every body component was redesigned and individually manufactured for this car, rather than simply selecting parts from its existing Revuelto catalogue. The pieces are made from solid carbon fiber in the company’s own autoclaves.
The front bumper is new. So is the hood.
New side skirts incorporate air deflectors and additional cooling intakes, while a roof scoop feeds more air toward the naturally aspirated V12. At the back there’s another redesigned diffuser, an extendable rear wing and a new exhaust ending in three triangular outlets.
Subtle it isn’t. But underneath all that carbon, MANSORY has also done something unusual with the drivetrain. Lamborghini’s three electric motors remain unchanged.
Instead, all of the additional performance comes from modifications to the 6.5-liter naturally aspirated V12. MANSORY increases the combustion engine from 825 to 930 hp, with torque rising from 725 to 765 Nm. Combined with the stock electric hardware, total system output reaches 1,120 hp.
The result is predictably quick. MANSORY claims 0–100 km/h in 2.3 seconds and a top speed of 355 km/h.
Putting 1,120 hp into perspective is almost pointless at that stage. Whether the car reaches 100 km/h in 2.3 or 2.5 seconds isn’t likely to transform anybody’s commute.
The engineering is more interesting than the stopwatch.
MANSORY deliberately left the complicated electric side of Lamborghini’s hybrid system untouched while extracting another 105 hp from an already highly stressed naturally aspirated V12. That’s a very different challenge from simply increasing boost pressure on a turbocharged engine.
The wheels are equally theatrical: 21 inches at the front and 22 at the rear, with forged centers and external carbon rings. Inside, dark Alcantara is contrasted with turquoise details, illuminated logos and backlit door panels.
There is absolutely nothing restrained about Carbonado X. That’s also why pretending to judge it like a normal tuned Revuelto misses the point.
MANSORY built one and it’s going into its Dubai showroom.
And in a world where even a 1,015-hp Lamborghini can become familiar after enough Instagram scrolling, the Carbonado X exists to make familiar impossible.
