2024 Pagani Huayra R Evo

Pagani presented an extreme open-top hypercar that enriches the Arte in Pista program, the Pagani Huayra R Evo. This car is intended for adrenaline addicts who want more than the current Huayra R can offer.

The car is built on an extended chassis (+190 mm) compared to the road model (Huayra Codalunga), which increased aerodynamics and downforce (+45%). This is contributed by the huge new diffuser, open-top and rear wing with a central fin, ensuring better stability on the road.

“The inspiration for the design of the Huayra R Evo struck me during a Formula Indy race in Nashville: as I observed the single-seater cars with their Aeroscreens, the idea of creating a car with protective polycarbonate surfaces and the option to remove the two roof panels to be fully immersed in the allure of the air and the captivating sound of the engine, dawned on me. From that moment on, we set out with the goal of creating a beautiful car, subjective as that term may be, harmonious in its lines and strong in its character. The final result is a true descendant of the Huayra R, one of the cars our customers love the most,” said CEO Horacio Pagani.

The Huayra R Evo is equipped with improved carbon-ceramic Brembo brakes, a lengthened front splitter (+101 mm), and a set of new 19″ and 20″ wheels wrapped in 280/680 R19 front and 345/725 R20 rear Pirelli P Zero slick tires.

The interiors are equipped with six-point harnesses and seats covered in fireproof material, whose special Ener-Core EC 50 foam padding ensures an optimal driving position, perfectly adapting to the body shape of the driver and passenger, while the carbon fiber headrests are also fitted with dedicated lateral protection.

When it comes to the powertrain, the hypercar is powered by a 6.0L V-12 engine with 900 hp (662 kW) and 568 lb-ft (770 Nm) of torque. The engine is mated to a 6-speed sequential gearbox.

2024 Pagani Imola Roadster

Pagani has unveiled a limited edition of its most powerful open-top car, the Pagani Imola Roadster. It is a continuation of the story from the ‘Grandi Complicationazioni’ series, which started with the Imola Coupé model produced in only 5 examples.

The Imola Roadster is powered by AMG’s mid-mounted twin-turbocharged 6-liter V12 engine with 850 hp (634 kW) @ 5,600 rpm and 811 lb-ft (1,100 Nm) of torque from 3,600 to 5,600 rpm, which is enough to push car up to a top speed of 350 km/h (217 mph). Power is sent to the rear wheels via an Xtrac 7-speed sequential gearbox. It sits on ultra-lightweight 20/21-inch wheels wrapped in 265/30 R20 front and 355/25 R21 rear Pirelli P Zero Trofeo RS tires.

The car is based on the Huayra R racing model, and represents the evolution of the Huayra BC Roadster. It is made of light materials, Carbo-Titanium HP62-G2 and Carbo-Triax HP62, so its weight is only 1,260 kilograms. It is equipped with two enlarged front air intakes, dual outlet for warm air in the wheel arch and the side of the bumper, a better aerodynamic solution of the wheel arches that improve stability and better air flow towards the back, central fin, the air scoop and the supports of the rear wing connected to the hood, openings on the arches of the rear wheels for better air flow and cooling of the rear brakes, but also greater downforce.

Pagani has not announced how many examples of its best-performing open-top car it will produce, nor how much it will cost.

Pagani will keep its V12 engine

At a time when almost all car manufacturers are heavily developing electric cars, there are still some who have not decided on electrification. Such is the case with Pagani, which has focused on the V12 engine, for now.

Pagani will keep its V12 engine (0)

After several years of research, the Italian car manufacturer announced that it is currently abandoning the production of electric cars. “In 2018, we formed a team to work on fully electric cars. The team’s primary responsibility was to determine how to homologate electric cars around the world, especially in the US, but for four years we found no interest in the electric supercar market,” he said. formerly the founder and director of the company Horacio Pagani.

In research, Pagani estimated that several things would be a big problem for their supercars. The first is weight. The company’s goal was to develop a car weighing up to 1,300 kg, but current technology cannot make this possible. According to their estimate, the battery required for their supercar would weigh 600 kg, which is more than half the weight of the current Huayra R.

The second reason that Pagani cites is the performance of the electric car. “I have a Tesla and I understand electric cars, but it’s not necessary to have such high performance in them. The challenge is to make an electric car that feels as good as a ‘normal’ car with an internal combustion engine. Pagani is not going to make something that just has good performance , but wants to offer something that will give emotion to the driver,” said Horacio Pagani.

Pagani’s decision to focus on the V12 engine is supported by the decision of the EU, which allowed manufacturers that deliver less than 1,000 cars with internal combustion engines per year to do so until 2035. After that, Pagani will have to produce a fully electric car.
