You wouldn"t normally think Lamborghini"s wonderful 6.5-litre V12 - the one you"ll find in the Aventador - needed rebuilding". But you are not Mansory. And it has rebuilt" it. Significantly.Meet the Carbonado Apertos", a carbonfibre clad, highly modified Lamborghini Aventador Roadster which is so extraordinarily fast, we"re not sure where to start.Perhaps the engine, then. The V12"s pistons, rods, bearings, crankshaft, cranks and entire cylinder head have been replaced with proper motorsport versions.On top of that, two Mansory turbochargers were bolted onto the flanks - because why the hell not, right? - along with a spangly new exhaust system built from stainless steel. We suspect you may need ear defenders."The result of this extensive rebuilding process is a boost in performance," explains Mansory, which now that we"re in December probably qualifies for Understatement Of The Year.The engine now produces 1,233bhp and 664lb ft of torque,you see, climbs of 543bhp and 155lb ft. That means a 0-62mph time of just 2.6secs.
