Paging Yumcha
All hail the new Pagani Huayra Roadster Top Gear
Limited edition, 760bhp €2.28m convertible supercar revealed. And it’s sold out Sorry Yummy.....![Sad](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/sad.gif)
Pagani claims 1.8G, the highest lateral acceleration “ever seen on a car with road tyres”. Better strap in then, ladies and gentlemen: doff your caps to the new Pagani Huayra Roadster.
Actually, maybe just remove your caps entirely. Using lessons learned from the mad Pagani Huayra BC, the new Huayra Roadster gets Mercedes-AMG’s ‘M158’ V12 (it’s a unit specially built for Pagani), with a pair of turbos bolted on, producing 760bhp, and more than 737lb ft of torque.
Which, packed into Pagani’s carbo-titanium monocoque and allied to a seven speed X-Trac gearbox, means you can experience 1.8G of lateral acceleration and 760bhp to the fullest. Though no 0-62mph time has been given, expect it to hover at around three seconds.
The car comes with two roofs: a removable carbonfibre hard top comes with a central glass element, allowing you to get the looks of a coupe, and the freedom of a convertible. There’s a fabric roof which can be stored inside the Roadster for when needed, and installed in “just a few simple steps”. Given it’s probably raining when you rummage for it, simple is good.
Elsewhere, Pagani has installed active aero flaps – two up front, two at the back – that work together with the active suspension to ensure downforce is optimal both on and off track.
There’s also been work on the front section and extractors, along with a flat underbody, to help curtail turbulence and air flow. Functional yes, but it also looks cool.
Did we mention the suspension? Using lessons learned from the Huayra BC, Pagani forged the suspension components out of a lightweight aluminium alloy it calls ‘HiForg’, which, compared to the standard Huayra Coupe, lightens the car by 25 per cent. This means a total kerbweight of just 1,280kg (dry), unusually making it lighter than the Huayra Coupe. A full 80kg lighter than the Coupe, no less. A featherweight, packing a heavyweight punch, if you will.
There are brakes, too. Big ones. Namely 380mm carbon ceramic Brembos front and back (six-pot calipers on the fronts, four-pot at the rear), housed inside forged aluminium monolithic 20/21in wheels. Pirelli were tasked with building a specific tyre for the Huayra Roadster to allow much G force and grip.
Just 100 Huayra Roadsters will be built, with each one costing €2,280,000. Or a whisker short of £2m. Though it’s a moot point, because all 100 have already been sold.
“If we think of the Huayra Coupe as a personification of elegance and timeless lines,” explains Horacio Pagani, “the Huayra Roadster was to be the rebellious sister, shapely and beautiful, but with a sharp edge for those who are careless”.
Amazing, no?

Lewis Hamilton inspired ‘L’Ultimo’ is the final coupe from Italy’s artisan hypercar builder
Boo-hoo. Pagani’s 100 car build-run of the Huayra coupe has come to an end. But don’t worry, Italy’s famous artisan hypercar builder is bowing out in style with this: ‘L’Ultimo’.
It’s a Lewis Hamilton-inspired special that incorporates various elements of the Huayra evolution including the track-orientated BC and Wind God-orientated Tempesta.
So there’s the familiar AMG-sourced 6.0-litre V12 bi-turbo, turned to deliver 789bhp and 811ft lb of torque plus the Tempesta’s carbon front splitter, panels, downforce-inducing skirts and rear diffuser. A hood scoop similar to the BC and Cinque models sits atop as well as a full-length rear wing, all finished in exposed carbon fibre with Petronas green highlights, just like Hamilton’s Sunday driver.This colourway works its way inside with the leathers finished in the turquoise green, white leather seats and gold highlighting as well as the eye-wateringly expensive Sonus Faber 1200w sound system.
It’s been a good run for the Huayra. Introduced in 2012, it was the successor to the incredible Zonda. Quite the evolution, too. Made of 4,700 new parts, the Huayra is longer, wider, faster and produces quite the aural sensation, thanks to a turbocharged twelve-cylinder like we’d never heard before. Plus with gullwing doors, it automatically drains blood from our head in excitement. But in the same way that Horacio Pagani used ground-breaking techniques for that Countach Evoluzione back in the day, he did the same for the Huayra, taking the composite game to another level. See, it’s made entirely from carbotanium - where carbon-fibre and titanium strands are woven together - making standard carbon fibre seem both weak and heavy.
This insatiable love of detail is the key ingredient of the Huayra, and a good indicator of HP’s almost obsessive level of attention. Things like the 3,000 bolts that have each been individually branded, the key sculpted from a milled billet of aluminium into the shape of the car, and the glorious leather straps restraining the clamshell. There is apparently no “good enough” when it comes to a Pagani.
Appreciation of his work has grown exceptionally global over the years. Inflatingly the RRP quite significantly. Actually, stratospherically. Back when we crowned the Huayra TG’s Hypercar of the Year in 2013, it was around £800,000. Yes, at the time that was more than three times the price of a Lamborghini Aventador, but now, that looks like a steal. Prices for Huayras are now in the multi-millions. To the point where they’re now in ‘pluck-from-thin-air-territory’.
But as we’ve learned from the Zonda, Pagani has a habit of losing count of how many cars its actually made, and a tendency of producing stuff posthumously. So could this happen with the Huayra? Well, if the price is right, we’re sure Horacio could be tempted.

Renderings from a few months ago revealed that the car would wear a host of custom components to distinguish it from all other Huayras to come before it. These images offer an even better look at these unique touches and are sure to leave your jaw on the floor.
For starters, Huayra L’Ultimo has been inspired by the livery used on Lewis Hamilton’s Mercedes-AMG Formula One car. Consequently, the hypercar features turquoise accents across the exterior, including on the front splitter, wing mirrors, hood, wheels, roof, and rear diffuser.
The rest of the exterior is a mix of silver paint and exposed gloss carbon fiber, weaved to the most remarkable standards. Elsewhere, the L’Ultimo incorporates a Zonda Cinque-inspired roof scoop with yellow and turquoise accents, a custom fixed carbon fiber rear wing, black wheels, and yellow brake calipers.
The exterior design won’t be to everyone’s taste but it is undeniably unique.
With production of the Huayra coupe completed, Pagani can focus its energy on building 100 units of the Huayra Roadster which will soon be available in hardcore BC specification. Additionally, the Italian marque will continue to build one-off Zondas for the uber-wealthy.
Pagani is also developing at least two other all-new models. The first will be a successor to the Huayra complete with the same 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 from Mercedes-AMG. An all-electric hypercar will also be produced by 2025.

Pagani Huayra L’Ultimo Delivered In The U.S. As The Final Coupe
The Pagani Huayra Coupe was introduced in 2011 but only now has the 100th and final unit been delivered.

A mysterious Pagani Huayra prototype has been spied testing around Italy in recent months. Its identity has remained unknown but we now know what Pagani is up to.
Images obtained by GTspirit reveal that Pagani is working on a new model dubbed the ‘Dragon’. It is reported that the first Huayra Dragon has been commissioned by tuning company TopCar Design and that another 4 examples will be built.
It is believed that Pagani will start building the Dragon once production of the Huayra Roadster is finished. The vehicle spied is likely to be a prototype and not one of the five customer cars.
Design images of the car ordered by TopCar Design show that it is adorned with all the same aerodynamic add-ons as the Huayra prototype spied in recent months.
Consequently, there’s a bespoke carbon fiber rear wing, an aggressive roof scoop feeding the twin-turbo 6.0-liter AMG V12 engine, and a distinctive rear diffuser. In addition, the Huayra Dragon pictured includes louvers over the front wheel arches, special wheels, and unique side skirts.
The Huayra Dragon from TopCar also includes a number of bright orange accents. It remains to be seen if all Huayra Dragon models will look like this or if customers will have the option to customize the vehicle’s exterior and interior designs.
In Huayra BC guise, the V12 of the Italian supercar delivers 745 hp and 811 lb-ft (1100 Nm) of torque. In all likelihood, Pagani will sprinkle some magic over the Dragon’s powertrain to make it a little more powerful.
Pagani is already planning a successor to the Huayra and with Roadster, BC Roadster, and now Dragon models to build, there’s a chance this could be the final Huayra variant.

Pagani has been slowly refining the Huayra since its debut back in 2012, and now, seven years later, it’s on the cusp of revealing what will be a roadster version of the hardcore BC. The Huayra BC was named after Benny Caiola, personal friend of Pagani boss Horatio Pagani and the firm’s very first customer, and featured a new aero package and an uprated powertrain with 744bhp.
This incoming Roadster version, if it does in-fact use this nomenclature, will probably pick up those same basic elements, but being some three years after the initial BC’s launch, could feature further revisions, and an even bigger power figure.
The BC currently features a 6-litre twin-turbocharged V12 engine built by Mercedes-AMG in Affalterbach. We suspect the 744bhp power figure might grow, as seemingly ‘normal’ sports GT models like the Aston Martin DBS Volante have been quickly closing the gap. Connected to the V12 engine is expected to be the same single-clutch semi-automatic transmission from X-Trac, making this one of the few models still on sale with this somewhat antiquated transmission type.
What hasn’t dated is the exquisite build quality from Pagani’s Modenese facility, which is famous for its highly-wrought carbonfibre work. The BC Roadster is expected to feature, at least as an option, a full carbonfibre body. The tub will be of Pagani’s carbo-titanium composite too, while the roof is likely to be made up of a removable carbonfibre panel, with a rising glass panel for the rear screen.
As with the Zonda that came before it, the Huayra seems to be following a path of gentle evolution from the pure execution of a core idea into highly personalised, and highly expensive, commissions. The car’s public debut expected at the Pebble Beach Concours of Elegance, says a lot about the buyers this new Pagani variant is aimed at.

A spontaneous, unstoppable emotion. A burning desire that led the Client to dream of a new work of art: another Pagani creation. This is how, in 2017, the idea of the Pagani Huayra Roadster BC came to life. From a curious set of circumstances, a demanding research project was launched with a meticulous, almost obsessive focus on details and design in order to create a highly distinctive, street-legal Pagani hypercar that would combine the unparalleled sensations of driving a roadster with the most advanced technology available.
Every effort made by the Pagani team, whose designers, engineers and master craftsmen work continuously to achieve the most extreme levels of scientific research and uniqueness, was focused on the pursuit of an ideal: to exceed the customer's expectations and repay his absolute faith. This trial of unprecedented dedication was finally completed under the guidance and discipline of the ultimate polymath, Horacio Pagani.
Each and every component of this hypercar is the result of scrupulous analysis and Team Pagani's critical approach that is specifically designed to constantly question every outcome and achievement. As the only way to guarantee true perfection is to never fall too much in love with the successes attained, but rather being able to observe them with a critical eye.
All this effort was translated into innovation, invention and exploration of unexplored paths in order to break new ground, never follow car trends and always seek to build truly timeless creations. This is the essence of the Pagani Huayra Roadster BC. Extreme, exuberant and shaped by hand in line with the fundamental concepts of Leonardo da Vinci's Art and Science, the cornerstones of Pagani Automobili's creative philosophy.
A road machine created with the latest technologies derived by Pagani Automobili's track experience and in accordance with the key concepts of Pagani's DNA. In other words, an intuitive and easy-to-drive vehicle you can master after just a few miles and in which you can enjoy a full open-top experience without affecting the performance.
From the aerodynamics to its exterior and interior design, and right down to its tiniest part, Roadster BC's chemistry and combination of advanced composite materials are unprecedented. Also, the elements that escape the eye of the expert have been optimized to offer genuine emotions and reach new horizons on multiple fronts.
Like in a sophisticated watch, every single component of the Pagani Huayra Roadster BC is a concentration of Pagani Automobili's ultimate design, technology and engineering expertise encapsulated in just 1,250 kg (2,756 lbs).
Can one focus on extreme performance without compromising satisfying, smooth driveability? Can lightness and safety be fused with design and elegance? The solutions lie in the agile and expert hands of those who believe that perfection and uniqueness can only be reached through painstaking care, manual skill and craftsmanship.
Pagani aspires for perfection, creating the greatest hand-built cars with a true hymn to the Renaissance.
There is something that comes before absolute performance, speed, design and style. That something is called safety and at Pagani Automobili, it is a mission.

A little overdone, IMO, but wouldn't turn one down

True, but this is more over the top than the 'typical' Huayra.
Lotto win: Agera for me, followed by a '57 Gullwing.

From here: https://www.roadandtrack.com/new-car...info-specs-hp/
After months of teasing, Pagani has finally, officially revealed the Imola. It's an ultra-limited variant of the Huayra with tons of new aero upgrades and over 100 more horsepower. Just five have been built, and all of them have been sold.
The Imola gets its name from the Italian race track at which testing for the car was done. Pagani says its recorded nearly 10,000 miles of development driving to perfect all of the upgrades over the standard Huayra. That Mercedes-AMG-sourced twin-turbo V-12 has been tuned to 827 horsepower and 811 lb-ft of torque, an increase of 107 horsepower and 73 lb-ft, respectively. Power still gets to the rear wheels via a single-clutch seven-speed automated transmission.
But the big story here are the changes Pagani made to the body to optimize aerodynamics and weight. Founder Horacio Pagani explains the car's aero upgrades took precedent over its looks.
The aerodynamic character of Pagani Imola emerges from three concepts. The general shape, the internal aerodynamics and the external aerodynamic details such as fins, wings, deviators," Pagani said in a statement. "We cannot call it an elegant car. We were looking for an effective car and this led us, as when we observe a Formula 1 car, to conceive a car richer in aerodynamic elements. If on the one hand these details interrupt the lines and aesthetics of the car, on the other they improve lap time, ease of driving and, above all, safety. On this latter aspect, we could have reduced the height of the car from the ground, taking advantage of the large surface of the flat bottom in order to increase the downforce effect. But—remember—the irregularity of public roads can lead to the loss of several hundred kilograms of downforce in a few moments. In the face of these dangers we worked carefully on the top and on the details of the car.Pagani has gone as far as to develop a new method of applying paint to its cars that can save as much as 11 pounds without sacrificing any quality. There's also an optimized Brembo brake system, an interconnected electronic suspension, and the latest version of the car's four independent active wings.
Pagani says the Imola costs five million euros (around $5.42 million) before taxes. But, like we said, all five examples have been purchased by some truly lucky customers. So you can't buy one new, even if you had the cash. We're not jealous. Not one bit.
