Fans of Captain America can expect to see Chevrolet's seventh-generation Corvette Stingray when the superhero's latest flick, <i>Captain America: The Winter Soldier</i>,
 hits theaters on April 4. But it won't be Cap driving the Stingray on 
the big screen, it'll be the beautiful and deadly Black Widow, played by
 Scarlett Johansson.<br />

ScarJo's Stingray has made its official debut at the 2014 Chicago Auto Show,
 and while the actress herself wasn't onstage when it rolled out, sadly,
 we were able to get a close look at her car. From what we can tell, 
this is nothing more than a black-on-black Stingray. That may not ring 
true in the film, though, so keep an eye open for Black Widow's Chevy when the new Captain America movie hits theaters.<br />

Scroll up for our batch of live photos from Chicago.

Mansory have been on a role of late. Their workshop has been pumping out
 highly engineered, top quality tuning works for some of the most 
extreme supercars on the market. Perhaps the biggest of these projects 
was the Mansory Carbonado – based on the Lamborghini Aventador. When 
Mansory offered us an exclusive first look at this monster supercar, we 
jumped at the opportunity!<br />

Unlike the Mansory F12 Stallone
 we tested previously, we weren’t allowed to drive the Mansory 
Carbonado. So instead of offering you a driving experience, we have a 
set of awesome photos and a first impression on the package as a whole. 
After our experience, the car was shipped from the factory to its new 
owner.<br />
Kourosh Mansory’s company is based in Brand, Germany which was the 
destination for our short experience. The car itself was unveiled at the
 Geneva Motor Show 2013 and took centre stage on the Mansory stand. It 
attracted more attention than any other tuning car on display, we were 
about to find out why!<br />

Carbon fibre is a Mansory speciality. The Mansory Carbonado is a 
moving display room in that respect. The Carbonado uses a world-first 
Stealth effect carbon fibre weave. The weaves actually resemble the 
shape of the Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk which creates this fantastic and 
very unique effect. We have no idea how Mansory have managed to do this 
although it is mighty impressive. The Stealth Fighter weaves are 
complemented on this particular car by a matte finish, similar in colour
 to the real F-117. <br />
As with every Mansory project, the design of the Mansory Carbonado is
 the most interesting aspect. In fact, we’d go as far as saying that it 
takes tuning to the another level! Every single element of the Mansory 
bodykit is bespoke and constructed from carbon fibre.Mansory makes its 
own carbon fibre from an on-site autoclave. Up close, the quality is 
perfect and the surfaces are very smooth.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-90520" height="426" src="http://www.gtspirit.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Mansory-Carbonado-Doors-Up-640x426.jpg" title="Mansory Carbonado Doors Up" width="640" /><br />
<br />
The panels include a striking new front skirt. The front vents are 
deeper than on the standard version. Carbon fibre side flicks rise from 
the side and a front splitter. The stealth shaped daytime running lights
 complement the theme. <br />
The bonnet receives a complete redesigned with different contour 
lines and two sets of aggressive air vents on either side. The new side 
panels add 40 millimetres of width at the front and 50 millimetres at 
the rear axle. The side skirts have a bespoke Mansory design and the 
doors get new contours.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-90521" height="357" src="http://www.gtspirit.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Mansory-Carbonado-Rear-640x357.jpg" title="Mansory Carbonado Rear" width="640" /><br />
<br />
The rear looks similar to the Mansory Aventador kit we previously 
tested. It gets a huge rear diffuser, a slatted rear vent with stealth 
fighter shaped mesh and a rear spoiler. The roof and engine cover are 
also bespoke. Finally, the exhaust is now separated into three distinct 
exits. <br />
To look at, the quality of the Mansory Carbonado is something quite 
special. The panels fit as though they came from Lamborghini’s own 
production line. The carbon weaves between body panels line up as best 
as can be expected. Every part fits the expectation Mansory’s insane 
price tags demands.<br />
Okay, so we’ve established that the bodywork is pretty special. So 
what of the engine and mechanicals? Mansory have given the Aventador’s 
6.5 litre Lamborghini V12 a thorough workout. In short, the power now 
matches the insane body.<br />
<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-90522" height="426" src="http://www.gtspirit.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Mansory-Carbonado-Aventador-640x426.jpg" title="Mansory Carbonado Aventador" width="640" /><br />
<br />
Mansory fitted twin turbochargers together with new pistons, 
connecting rods, rod bearings, crankshaft, crank and cylinder head. 
Mansory claims the power raised from 700 hp to a staggering 1,250 hp. 
Torque has improved too although to protect components this figure has 
been limited to just 900 Nm. Performance from zero to 100 km/h is just 
2.6 seconds. Top speed now stands at 380 km/h. From what we gather, none
 of these figures have been real-world tested, but instead estimated 
using mathematics and taking into account the various tolerances of each
 individual part.<br />
<br />
The most impressive thing about the entire performance package though
 is undoubtedly the brand new exhaust system. It is a complete system 
from manifold to tailpipes. Constructed from stainless steel, it gives a
 monster soundtrack! Running at the airstrip, the car sounded like no 
other Lamborghini Aventador we had ever heard and comes closer to the 
sound of a F1 car than any road car. It has a brutal rasp to it, even 
moreso than the Mansory Aventador we tested on a previous visit to Brand. Also evident is the turbo whistle.<br />

The Mansory Carbonado gets a set of Mansory ultralight forged wheels.
 They feature carbon inlays to match the rest of the car. The sizing is 
9.0 x 20 inches and 13.0 x 21 inches with Pirelli P Zero tyres in VA 
255/30 ZR20 and HA 345/25 ZR21 sizes.<br />
Mansory are also has a reputation to maintain for their special 
interiors. This car is no different. The Carbonado interior features a 
complete redesign with black processed leather and white leather 
accents. Stitching is white contrast and parts of the dash have been 
replaced with a stealth carbon fibre. Incase you forget where you are, 
there are plenty of Carbonado and Mansory badges!<br />
<img alt="Mansory Carbonado GTspirit First Impression" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-90442" height="422" src="http://www.gtspirit.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/gtspirit-mansory-carbonado-0032-640x422.jpg" title="Mansory Carbonado GTspirit First Impression" width="640" /><br />
<br />
The Carbonado actually feels much more modern than the standard 
Aventador. Lamborghini Aventadors generally leave the factory with 
sedate interiors, yet the Carbonado has a variety of different surfaces.
 It is more interesting as a result. The carbon fibre weave is 
impressive and works well with the colour scheme. The quality is very 
impressive too. Evidently, a lot of work has gone in to making this car 
very special! <br />
Mansory have developed a trademark modification for the Lamborghini 
Aventador as we found out with the previous Mansory Aventador. They 
mount the starter button to the headliner! Whilst that felt unnecessary 
in the earlier car, in this stealth jet themed monster, it just feels 
right. It makes you feel as though you should be asking permission from 
the control tower for take-off!<br />
<br />

<br />
The Mansory Carbonado really has done something quite special for the
 German brand. We’ve seen their unique take on these bespoke cars in the
 past with various Aston Martin and Ferrari 458 Italia based projects. 
The Mansory Carbonado raises the bar even further. <br />
Since this car was first unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show last year,
 Mansory have already built two further cars. The first is a Coupé with 
glossy carbon fibre coachwork, the second is a Roadster, converted just 
after the first cars were delivered. For Mansory to find further 
trusting customers for their bonkers million Euro tuned Lamborghini is 
testament to the product itself. We were thoroughly impressed!
