It has been greater than 4 years since we first laid eyes on the Huayra-based Imola coupe and now Pagani is lastly introducing a roadster model. Though the Codalunga is technically the corporate’s latest automotive, the unique Italian marque is not able to let go of the Huayra simply but. That is not all too shocking contemplating there have been many Zonda one-offs years after the Huayra’s launch. This latest creation is touted as being the model’s greatest open-top automotive ever.
There is a completely good motive as to why it has such a wild aerodynamic bundle – the design takes after essentially the most hardcore Huayra ever constructed. We’re speaking concerning the R, a no-compromise, track-only beast. The massive distinction right here is that Pagani has engineered the Imola Roadster for road use. Earlier than including fluids, it ideas the scales at solely 2,776 kilos (1,260 kilograms), so it is about as heavy as a supermini. However that is no subcompact hatchback with a three-cylinder, 1.0-liter engine because it’s rocking an enormous V12.

Geared up with a twin-turbo, 6.0-liter engine developed by AMG, the open-top Imola gives an immense 838 horsepower and 811 pound-feet (1,100 Newton-meters) of torque. All that Affalterbach muscle is routed to the rear wheels by means of a seven-speed sequential gearbox developed by Xtrac particularly for Pagani. Flat out, it will do 217 mph (350 km/h) earlier than an digital prime pace limiter is programmed to kick in.
Very like the track-focused-but-road-legal Audi R8 GT2 we talked about yesterday, the Imola Roadster will get Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R tires. The sticky rubber measures 265/30 R20 on the entrance axle and 355/25 R21 on the rear, wrapping the cast alloy wheels. Brembo’s ventilated carbon ceramic brakes ship the stopping energy at each axles. One other spotlight of the open-top supercar is represented by the double wishbone suspension with electronically managed shock absorbers.
Pagani is tight-lipped concerning the asking value but it surely does say the Imola Roadster will probably be restricted to only eight items. That makes it barely much less unique than the coupe of which solely 5 vehicles have been made.
