The Lamborghini Cabrera made the world of tuning stand still back in 2020 when it first showed its ultra controversial face. But that is what Mansory does to cars. The tuning house doesn't roll them out as beauty pageant winners. They make them irresistably... ugly. The tuning house only built three such cars, and one of them has just come out of its hiding place.
Mansory did what they had to do. They turned the Lamborghini Aventador SVJ into the Cabrera and changed its looks and its name, but were loyal to the Lamborghini tradition, which spins around naming all cars in relation to Spanish fighting bulls. Therefore, the Cabrera is a historic Spanish bull breed.
The German tuning house built only three such cars, and this is 3 of 3. The last to drive out of the Mansory laboratory. It's extreme and extravagant and everything in between. One of the three ever built resides in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, and has just come out of its hiding place to be on camera.
The Cabrera is not just about taking a ton of carbon fiber and slapping it onto the standard car, if there is anything to be called 'standard' about the Aventador SVJ.
Mansory came up with a bold body kit, new wheels, and new LED headlights, building up quite a controversial design. It doesn't exactly look like the winner of a beauty pageant, but who are we to judge? That is what Mansory does anyway. Definitely not a people pleaser, but a head-turner.
The tuner also resuscitated Lamborghini's aging V12, now letting out all the drama of its 12 cylinders through a custom exhaust system that ends with four massive tips. When the engine starts, and the driver presses the accelerator pedal, it sounds like a plane ready for takeoff.
The car became 1.57 inches (4 centimeters) wider. However, to keep the weight under control, the tuner fitted every single panel made entirely out of carbon fiber. Vented front fenders, massive wheel arches that make room for bigger wheels, and a massive splitter are on the menu.
The Cabrera rides on 20-inch wheels at the rear and 21-inch units at the rear, with Pirelli P Zero tires measuring 255/30ZR20 on the front axle and 355/25ZR21 at the back.
Mansory painted the former Aventador SVJ/current Cabrera in Vento Verde (Green Wind). The team installed bucket seats in striking bright green and black in leather and Alcantara. There is an entirely redesigned steering wheel on board. The center console displays the "3 of 3" message, indicating the exclusivity of the model.
The standard Lamborghini Aventador SVJ rolled off the production line in Sant'Agata Bolognese with 758 horsepower and 531 pound-feet of torque. That was definitely not enough for Mansory. The tuning experts used their magic on the naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12, taking it all the way to 800 horsepower and 575 pound-feet of torque.
Performance figures changed as well as the Cabrera runs from 0 to 62 mph (0 to 100 kph) in 2.6 seconds, which is two-tenths of a second quicker than the stock version. The new top speed is now 221 mph (355 kph) instead of the standard 217 mph (350 kph).
Mansory never disclosed the price of their new "raging bull." But the video says it is a $5 million affair.
