Geneva 2013: Aftermarket outfitter Mansory tunes Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 into 1250 hp monster

Lamborghini Mansory We always just assumed that Lamborghini engineers were the final word in Lambo performance. It stands to reason that with so much passion, knowledge, and outright craziness, the Lamborghini-designed offerings couldn’t get any faster or better looking. How wrong we were.

Aftermarket outfitter Mansory – a company that has tinkered with such vehicles as the Mercedes-Benz CLS 63 AMG and Aston Martin DBS in the past – has now turned its tuning mastery on the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4.

The result is something perfectly out of this world. Mansory took the stock 700 horsepower 6.5-liter V12 Aventador engine and virtually threw it all away. Engineers replaced the pistons, connecting rods, rod bearings, crankshaft, crank, cylinder head, and topped it all off with twin turbochargers. The Mansory Aventador now produces a staggering 1250 horsepower. That kind of power pushes the LP700-4 from 0-62 miles per hour in 2.6 seconds.

Mansory didn’t stop with the engine. The body, which now shows off its carbon fiber construction, is 40 millimeters wider in the front and 50 mm wider in the back. On the interior, Mansory has processed leather to the seats and dashboard as well as some non-slip pedals. The Mansory Aventador also brings carbon fiber touches around the doors and center console. Distinctively, Mansory moved the starter button to the roof, to give the special edition Aventador more of an aircraft feel.

While we don’t yet know how much it’ll cost, we presume it’d be near the $1-millon mark. Check back for more info as the 2013 Geneva Auto Show kicks into gear.

Top Tech of CES

Las Vegas is overrun. Every billboard in town is shouting about AI, hotel bar tops now sport a sea of laptops, and after hours The Strip is elbow to elbow with engineers toting yard-long beers.

That means CES, the year’s biggest tech bacchanalia, has come to town, and Digital Trends editors have spent the last four days frolicking among next year’s crop of incredible TVs, computers, tablets, and EVs. We’re in heaven.

Sony and Honda’s Afeela 1 EV makes more sense at CES than in the real world
Afeela 1 front quarter view.

The Sony car is almost here. After its creation via a joint venture with Honda in 2022 and two years’ worth of prototypes, the electronics giant’s Afeela brand is finally taking reservations for its first electric vehicle, with deliveries scheduled to start in 2026.

But will it be worth the wait? Coinciding with the opening of reservations, Sony Honda Mobility brought updated prototypes of the Afeela 1 (as it’s now officially known) to CES 2025, representing what California customers (Afeela is only taking reservations in that state) who put down a $200 refundable deposit can expect when they take delivery.

Bose wants to dominate car audio, and I heard its next-gen 3D automotive speakers

Bose’s automotive audio business is huge, and it’s set to get even bigger. The company has been making big plays in car audio for some time now. The audio company works with premium brands like Porsche, building high-end speakers that allow drivers to experience high-quality audio on the road, whether they’re carting the family around in an Escalade or weaving around the highway (don’t do that) in a Porsche Macan.

But while it has a solid selection of audio brands under its belt, the world of personal audio is also evolving. Mercedes-Benz showed off its Dolby Atmos system at CES last year, and now, a year later, plenty of other brands are joining the trend. At CES 2025, Bose walked me through its current lineup of automotive audio products, as well as a sneak peek of what’s to come.
Immersive audio
The big trend in all areas of personal audio right now essentially boils down to supporting 3D audio formats like Dolby Atmos. Consumer home theater products are increasingly offering up-firing and side-firing speakers that can bounce audio around the room to simulate height and surround effects, while headphone brands are increasingly developing spatialized audio tech that can convert stereo audio into simulated spatial audio.
