British
art dealer and billionaire James Stunt fancied a bespoke super car the
other day and, not willing to wait for any of the car makers to get
around building one for him, he placed the order with tuner and
coachbuilder, Mansory. The result is a one-off Lamborghini called
Mansory Aventador J.S.1 Edition.
To be shown-off at the Geneva Motor Show this March, Mansory Aventador J.S.1 Edition is based on a SuperVeloce (SV) model but draws inspirations in its design from the Veneno
hyper car. The car has a custom carbon fiber body with a unique aero
kit consisting of new bumpers, sills, spoilers, and splitters, as well
as widened wheel arches and sizable roof scoop. A set of custom Mansory
wheels complete the look.
Apart from the amazing appearance,
Mansory Aventador J.S.1 Edition also features a tricked out powertrain
which turns the car from a super into a hyper car. Starting with the 750
horsepower engine of the SuperVeloce, Mansory has installed a
power-box, as well as a complete new exhaust system including manifold,
muffler and tailpipes, plus sport air filters. These changes have
boosted the power to 830 horsepower and 750 Nm, which translates into a 0
to 100 km/h time of 2.7 seconds.
It is interesting that a London art
dealer, a man who must have a brilliant and refined taste on account of
his job, should order a full carbon Lamborghini by Mansory. Not that
there’s anything wrong with it. It’s just a tad too vulgar, as a Brit
would say.
