MANSORY Carbonado X: When 1,120 hp isn't enough… and tastes becomes optional

There are cars that whisper. There are cars that speak. And then there is the MANSORY Carbonado X, which simply shouts.

Based on the Lamborghini Revuelto, Mansory has once again done what it has been doing for years: making everything bigger, louder and more extreme. And honestly? We are not equally fond of every Mansory creation. This one, unfortunately, falls into that category as well. But let’s start with what is genuinely impressive.

Carbon. Everywhere. Without shame.

Where Lamborghini itself blends tension, balance and Italian elegance, Mansory opts for maximum impact. Every single body panel of the Carbonado X is made from solid forged carbon fibre, cured in its own autoclaves. No subtle accents. No nuance. Just carbon overload.

The front end receives a completely new bumper with an aggressive splitter and a redesigned bonnet. The flanks become wider, sharper and more dramatic. A roof scoop feeds additional cooling air to the V12. At the rear, a massive diffuser dominates, combined with a deployable spoiler that promises downforce at speeds where most supercars already start to feel nervous.

1,120 horsepower: brute force, no debate

Beneath that visual excess sits a powertrain that is difficult to criticise. The 6.5 litre naturally aspirated V12 has been pushed to 930 horsepower and 765 newton metres of torque. Add the Revuelto’s three electric motors and total system output rises to 1,120 horsepower. That is firmly hypercar territory.

Zero to one hundred kilometres per hour takes 2.3 seconds. Top speed is 355 kilometres per hour. These are numbers that demand respect. But this is also where things start to feel slightly uncomfortable. The standard Revuelto is already a technological masterpiece. It is already absurdly fast. It already has visual presence. You almost start to wonder whether this level of excess is still necessary.

Dubai spec aesthetics

The Carbonado X was built for the Mansory showroom in Dubai. That explains a lot. Matte forged carbon with turquoise accents. Red brake calipers. Twenty one inch wheels at the front, twenty two inch at the rear. A stance that feels more concept car than road legal.

Inside, the theme continues with black Alcantara, turquoise highlights, illuminated logos and carbon panels as far as the eye can see.

The craftsmanship itself is beyond question. Mansory knows how to work materials. But design is not just about complexity. It is about balance. And that is where it loses us.

Are there better alternatives

If you feel a standard Revuelto is not exclusive enough, there are options that are less shouty yet just as impressive.

• A subtle factory Ad Personam configuration directly from Lamborghini

• A performance upgrade without visual overkill

• Or high end tuners that enhance the character of the car instead of overwriting it

The Carbonado X is not wrong because it is extreme. It is controversial because it makes the line between impressive and excessive uncomfortably thin.

AutoNext verdict

We like boldness. We like engineering. We like power. But we also value design that remains timeless once the hype fades. The MANSORY Carbonado X is technically phenomenal. 1,120 horsepower. 355 kilometres per hour. Fully carbon. Pure excess. For some clients, that is exactly the point.

For us, we appreciate the brutality.
But we would choose the standard Revuelto, or a more restrained interpretation, any day of the week.

Taste is personal. Fortunately.
