Similar to the Zonda, Pagani will most likely maintain constructing particular variations of the Huayra hypercar till prospects give up asking. We have already seen the Codalunga, the Imola, and the Huayra R. Now Pagani is debuting a brand new model at this 12 months’s Goodwood Competition of Pace—and it has a handbook.
That is proper, that is the primary Pagani Huayra with a handbook transmission. The appropriately named Huayra Epitome—meant to symbolize peak Pagani—was commissioned by an exceptionally well-off shopper wanting a Huayra with a handbook shifter. The seven-speed gearbox comes from Xtrac and makes use of the “newest triple-disc clutch for higher torque transmission.” And it is housed inside a fantastic aluminum open gate, similar to within the Utopia.
That seven-speed handbook is hooked up to a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V-12 engine from Mercedes-AMG that makes 852 horsepower and 811 pound-feet of torque, and revs to six,700 rpm. The Huayra Epitome has the identical quantity of energy because the Utopia, permitting it to realize a prime velocity of 217.5 miles per hour. A six-way titanium exhaust system sends sound bellowing out of the Huayra’s bottom, full with a blown diffuser for additional downforce.
Elsewhere, engineers tightened up the suspension. The Epitome has much less pitch and roll than the usual Huayra, Pagani says, however there’s a “Tremendous Mushy” mode that retains the experience at its cushiest—you realize, for cruising round Monaco or the shores of Lake Como. That drive mode mechanically shuts off at 93 mph.
The outside will get a slight redesign that features a entrance and rear bumper therapy with new LED lighting accents and a bigger grille for improved airflow. An enormous built-in rear wing graces the trunk lid, and all the physique is draped in a darkish blue carbon fiber weave. Gold accents and gold wheels end off the upscale look.
The automobile was constructed by Pagani’s Grandi Complicazioni particular automobiles division and took 9 months to plan, and one other 10 months to finish. However if you would like one—you’re out of luck. This would be the solely Huayra of its form.
