It’s hard for someone to look at a Lamborghini Revuelto and think: this requires more attention. But Mansory, who has never been shy about unleashing his trademark cocktail of carbon fiber and mayhem on anything on wheels, has done just that. Meet the Mansory Initiate: The tuner’s first chance in the plug-in hybrid V12, with sharper lines, a touch of punch and enough carbon fiber to rival a Boeing factory.
Following the over-the-top Mansory Carbonado and Cabrera, The Initiate almost feels…restricted. For Mansory, at least. Its carbon fiber frame kit doesn’t stray far from the already competitive Lamborghini Revuelto, it simply exaggerates the sharp edges and dramatic angles, making sure it’s noticeable from infinity and beyond.

At the front, the Revuelto features a fully carbon-fibre ventilated bonnet, as well as a sharper splitter and bumper extensions. The redesigned side skirts feature built-in air vents and fins, and the Z-shaped cooling intakes feature new trim.
But the piece de resistance has to be the diffuser. This thing is so big and competitive that it looks stolen from a long-running Revolto SVJ prototype. And in case you don’t know who to thank for this madness, it’s emblazoned with a bright yellow Mansory emblem. Finally, a traditional spoiler extension and engine hood feature the same exposed carbon fiber finish.
The Mansory Initiate rides on a new set of FV.10 lightweight forged wheels with ten spokes and diameters of 21 inches at the front and 22 inches at the rear. The wheels are fitted with sticky tires measuring 265/30 ZR21 at the front and 355/25 ZR22 at the rear.
Inside, Mansory continues the same old theme: “if you can dream it, we’ll wallpaper it. “The show car is leather and suede with gold accents on the seats, stitching and emblems, just in case you want to remind you that this is expensive.
A slight increase in power
Moving on to the functionality improvements, the power of the 6. 5-liter V12 has increased from 54 PS (40 kW) to 868 PS (647 kW/880 PS), while torque increases by 35 Nm (26 lb-ft ) at 760 Nm. (561 foot-pounds). The two electric motors of the plug-in hybrid system remain unchanged, contributing to a combined output of 1,055 hp (787 kW/1,070 hp).
The performance innovations are minor but respectable: acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) is reduced to 2. 4 seconds (a huge 0. 1 second improvement), while the sensible top speed is reduced. estimated at 354 km/h (220 mph). Mansory insists that extra strength makes a difference; We think most buyers will be more interested in what the vehicle looks like parked outside Nobu.
There’s no telling how much those upgrades will cost, but with so much carbon fiber, you can bet it possibly won’t be cheap. Based on Mansory’s track record, it wouldn’t be unexpected if even more excessive variants of the Lamborghini Revuelto were released in the coming years.
