• Pagani Automobili presents the Huayra Epitome, a one-off creation that reaches an extraordinary level of prestige and customization.
• The Epitome, the first Huayra equipped with a manual transmission, represents the pinnacle of technology currently available for Pagani road-legal cars.
• Its exclusive design makes it a literally unique Hypercar.
• The Huayra Epitome comes from Grandi Complicazioni, Pagani Automobili’s division dedicated to special projects.

San Cesario sul Panaro, July 2^nd, 2024 — Pagani Automobili is delighted to present the new Huayra Epitome, a unique piece of work from the Grandi Complicazioni division. It is an extraordinary demonstration of Pagani’s commitment to taking Hypercars to new levels of prestige, innovation, and customization. This one-off represents the pinnacle of Pagani’s current technology available for road-legal cars, in a bespoke vehicle tailored down to the smallest detail.

The project synthesizes the highest level of creative collaboration with the client.

«The client came to us with clear ideas: he wanted to create a unique example that would take the Huayra to its highest expression. Its name could only be ‘Epitome’, as the most essential embodiment of a concept, an idea, a value. He dreamed of a car with an exclusive design that would further elevate the Huayra’s performance while maintaining its innate elegance. The creation of every Grandi Complicazioni Hypercar requires close collaboration with the customers, who become the co-creators of the object they dream of. In the initial meetings, the client shared his vision with Horacio Pagani and the team, starting a journey of listening and sharing ideas in perfect harmony to transform thoughts into concrete forms. This phase lasted nine months and led to a final conceptualization, followed by ten months of design work by an expert, multidisciplinary team. It is a long and complex process because developing components dedicated to a single car requires the same time as those for series production cars. However, it is extremely stimulating because working with clients who have a clear vision of what they want allows us to face new challenges with passion and enthusiasm.» (Lorenzo Kerkoc, Head of Pagani Grandi Complicazioni)

The Huayra that synthesizes the highest Pagani technology.

The beating heart of the new Huayra Epitome is the Pagani V12 engine, capable of delivering 864 HP (635 kW) at 6,000 rpm at 18°C (64°F), with a torque of 1,100 Nm. Built by AMG according to Pagani specifications, this 5,980 cc twin turbocharger engine features a distribution system that extends the limiter to 6,700 rpm, offering an exhilarating and dynamic performance. To date, the Epitome is the first and only Huayra equipped with a manual transmission, for a pure mechanical driving experience. Thanks to an electronically controlled differential and a racing-style tri-pod driveshaft, the Pagani by Xtrac seven-speed transverse gearbox allows all the power and exceptional responsiveness of the engine to be transferred to the road. The flywheel-clutch unit consists of the latest triple-disc clutch for better torque transmission, with an electronically managed differential and a racing-derived tripod joint system ensuring greater engine responsiveness. Technological research also focused on the suspension, with geometry that reduces dive in acceleration, pitch in braking, and roll in corners. This allows the driver to tackle corners by braking at the last moment, improving vehicle control and safety. Pagani Automobili aims to emphasize driving comfort as one of the most important pursuits in the study and evolution of all its cars, including track cars. Thanks to the new active suspension system of the Huayra Epitome, a “super soft” button is located in the cabin on the central tunnel, to be activated when driving on rough roads for extra comfort. Above 150 km/h (93 mph), the shock absorber setting returns to its normal condition, depending on the driving mode selected.

San Cesario sul Panaro, July 2^nd, 2024 — From July 11^th to 14^th, Pagani Automobili will return to the Goodwood Festival of Speed, one of the most renowned events dedicated to the world of motorsports. The event, held in the English county of West Sussex, gathers hundreds of thousands of enthusiasts and collectors each year in the magnificent park surrounding the Goodwood House. Pagani will participate with six Hypercars, making it the richest display in the history of its presence at the event.

On display at the Pagani stand will be two creations from the Grandi Complicazioni division: the Imola Roadster and the Huayra Epitome.

On Thursday, July 11^th, at 11:50 AM local time, the official unveiling of the few-off Imola Roadster and the one-off Huayra Epitome will take place at the Pagani stand, with the participation of the Duke of Richmond.

The Imola Roadster, produced in only eight specimens, is an open-top car with distinctive flair, designed to deliver sensational performance both on the track and on the road. Road-legal for worldwide driving, it embodies the pinnacle of Pagani Automobili’s technology. The Imola Roadster results from sophisticated aerodynamic studies, which optimized air flows and body shapes to increase downforce in all driving conditions. The further evolved Pagani V12 engine delivers 850 hp at 5,600 rpm and 1,100 Nm of torque between 3,600 and 5,600 rpm. Weighing only 1,260 kg (2,778 lbs), this Hypercar embodies Pagani’s passion, elegance, and commitment to innovation.

The Huayra Epitome is a unique specimen that attests to Pagani Automobili’s commitment to taking Hypercars to new levels of prestige, innovation, and customization. Its design is focused on cleanliness and elegance thanks to a series of details created specifically to meet the sartorial demands customers address to the Grandi Complicazioni division. The novel shapes of the front and rear bumpers, the front hood with exclusive light clusters, and a new wheel arch air extraction system, along with the rear hood featuring enlarged lateral ducts and an integrated spoiler, are just some of the features that make this one-off piece a timeless example of design and engineering. To date, the Epitome is the first and only Huayra to be equipped with a seven-speed manual transverse gearbox, with a reinforced transmission system to better withstand increased torque and power and transfer all the engine’s power and exceptional responsiveness to the road. The Huayra Epitome features exclusive forged aluminum alloy monolithic wheels designed with a larger front dimension, maintaining the iconic Roadster style but with a lightweight purpose for track use, which, combined with Pirelli P Zero™ Trofeo R tires, provide outstanding grip.

Both the Imola Roadster and the Huayra Epitome originate from the Grandi Complicazioni division, which is dedicated to special projects. By nature, some technological inventions require such complex designs that they can only be manufactured in very limited quantities, sometimes even as a single unit. The world of Haute Horlogerie calls them Grandes Complications, and Pagani Automobili pays homage to this inspiration for the division dedicated to creating ultra-limited series cars, which feature technologies so complex that only a few master craftsmen can bring to fruition. This division offers endless possibilities for customization: colors, finishes, materials, and shapes are designed in total synergy with the clients, to fulfill every desire and create a completely bespoke object.

A Pagani Utopia with a dedicated livery and a Huayra R will participate in the hill climb in the Supercar Paddock.

A Pagani Utopia and a Huayra R will engage in the hill climb of the Supercar Paddock, one of the festival’s best-known events.

The Goodwood 2024 Utopia will display an exclusive livery created by Horacio Pagani with the collaboration of the Duke of Richmond to celebrate the event. The Utopia is the car that opened the third act in the history of Pagani Automobili. Limited to ninety-nine units, it is a Hypercar with sinuous lines that transcend time, in which inspiration from the 1950s and 1960s blends with a distinct unmistakably Pagani personality. It was born to be a straightforward car set on driving pleasure. Several features make it a car that goes against the trend: the interior that rediscovers the charm of analog instrumentation, the possibility of seven-speed manual transmission driving, and the choice to prioritize lightness with a V12 engine built by AMG to Pagani’s specifications.

At Piazza del Castello in Formigine, Pagani Automobili will display the Huayra Roadster BC, a car designed to lay the foundation for the future generation of the brand’s Hypercars.

Since its conception, Horacio Pagani and his team knew that the project of the Huayra Roadster BC would be extremely challenging.

Everything evolves: a revamped Pagani V12, new aerodynamic and technological advancements, and the debut of advanced composite materials such as the Carbo-Titanium HP62 G2 and the Carbo-Triax HP62, which allowed the vehicle to achieve an even stiffer monocoque.

Courage, boldness, and discipline.

Four years of design and thousands of hours of testing.

Thus, the Huayra Roadster BC was born, a Hypercar in which every component, even the hidden ones, has been studied meticulously and critically to reach the pinnacle of aesthetic and technological refinement.

Thanks to the Huayra Roadster BC project, Horacio Pagani won the XXVII edition of the Compasso d’Oro award established by ADI – Associazione per il Disegno Industriale – in the “Design for Mobility” category.

The Hypercar also holds the record for road-legal cars worldwide at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, with a time of 2:23.081 set in September 2020.

The exhibition aims to recount Leonardo’s influence in the genesis of the Hypercar that marked the third chapter in the history of the Modena-based company.
• This showcase is part of the larger art show “Who is Leonardo da Vinci?” which features original works of extraordinary value by Leonardo, to stimulate a conversation about Leonardo, encompassing his paintings, drawings, disciples, and masterpieces of Chinese art from the 10^th to the 16^th century.
• On March 4^th, Horacio Pagani will attend the temporary exhibition opening.
• On display will be one of the most iconic models in the history of Pagani Automobili: the Zonda Cinque.
• The exhibition represents the third stage of a journey that commenced in Milan at the Museo Nazionale Scienza e Tecnologia Leonardo da Vinci and continued in Vinci.

San Cesario sul Panaro, February 27^th, 2024 – From March 4^th to April 14^th, Pagani Automobili is bringing the temporary exhibition “The Shape of Air: from Leonardo da Vinci to Pagani Utopia” to the Shanghai Museum, the most prominent museum institution in the Shanghai municipality.

«Italian cars continue to captivate entire generations because they are equipped with a special engine: a flawless fusion of science and art that has always fueled Italian creativity, exemplified by the brilliance of Leonardo da Vinci. i. Consequently, showcasing the exquisite cars crafted by Horacio Pagani at the Shanghai Museum, within the grand exhibition dedicated to Leonardo, signifies presenting the Chinese audience with a palpable testament to our prowess in conceiving, crafting, and bestowing substantive value upon human ingenuity, and consequently, upon our very existence.» (Tiziana D’Angelo, Consul General of Italy in Shanghai)

“The Shape of Air: from Leonardo da Vinci to Pagani Utopia” takes place within the framework of the Italian Design Day, the annual initiative launched by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, in collaboration and with the support of the Ministry of Culture, this year centered around the theme “Manufacturing Value: inclusiveness, innovation and sustainability”.

On the first floor, the temporary exhibition will delve into Leonardo’s pivotal role in creating the Utopia, the Hypercar that marked the third act in the history of Pagani Automobili. A fearless pursuit of beauty guided the research to find the delicate balance between form and function, a mission inherent to every designer. This principle aligns with the statement of the Renaissance artist-scientist who has always inspired the work of Horacio Pagani and his team: «Art and Science are two disciplines that can walk hand in hand.»

The entire evolution of the car will be narrated as if it were a living creature, from the initial original sketches to its most representative components: the lever system of the gearbox, the pedal assembly, the four exhausts, the optical groups, the steering wheel, the central console, the wheel, the Pirelli tire, and the front hood.

On the ground floor, visitors will be able to relive the essential moments of Pagani Automobili’s history through the section “The Story of a Dream”, tracing the journey of Horacio Pagani from the boy who crafted balsa wood models in Argentina to the designer and builder of some of the most beloved automobiles of the last decades.

“Who is Leonardo da Vinci?” – Original works by Leonardo in Shanghai

Alongside the temporary exhibition, the showcase “Who is Leonardo da Vinci?” is dedicated to the great artist, his paintings, and drawings, juxtaposing his works with some masterpieces of Chinese art from the 10^th to the 16^th century, preserved within the collections of the Shanghai Museum.

The protagonist of the exhibition is La Scapiliata, an autographed work by Leonardo from the National Gallery of Parma (Monumental complex of Pilotta).

The exhibition also features eleven precious original folia from Leonardo’s Codex Atlanticus and works by his disciples, including two drawings by Giovanni Antonio Boltraffio, a drawing by Francesco Melzi, and a painting by Bernardino Scapi (known as Luini), all from the Veneranda Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan.

Additionally, two drawings by Michelangelo, a contemporary of Leonardo, come from Casa Buonarroti in Florence.

The Italian collection engages in a dialogue with some masterpieces from the Shanghai Museum, works by illustrious Chinese painters such as Zhao Yong (c. 1289–1369), Shen Zhou (1427–1509), and Tang Yin (1470–1523).

The section “Leonardo: the Machine of Imagination” enriches the exhibition. It is a contemporary artwork animated by a series of installations (Observations on Nature, City and Landscape, Anatomical Table, and Painting) conceived by Studio Azzurro, one of the most renowned European collectives in artistic research with the languages of new technologies, and produced by the Istituto della Enciclopedia Italiana-Treccani. Set design, video art, and sounds contribute inseparably to stimulating the power of imagination in every visitor.

«Leonardo da Vinci is defined as the ‘universal man’ because he has influenced every discipline, from art to science. His figure represents the ideal to which each of us should aspire, not only for his eclectic skills but especially for human qualities such as humility, curiosity, and a passion for research. In particular, Leonardo was one of the first to advocate that art and science can walk together, hand in hand, and that the distance between the two disciplines is only apparent. This concept is significant because it can inspire a new way of interpreting any human activity and allows for the creation of truly universal achievements.» (Horacio Pagani, Founder & Chief Designer of Pagani Automobili)

On display, the Pagani Utopia and the Zonda F

For the first time at the event, the vehicle that marked the third act in the history of Pagani Automobili will be showcased: the Pagani Utopia.

It is a Hypercar with a timeless design, blending inspiration from the 1950s and 1960s with a distinctively Pagani personality.

It is conceived to be a simple car, focused on the pleasure of driving. The Utopia highlights unconventional features, such as the interior design that embraces the charm of analog instrumentation; against the trend is also the option of manual seven-speed transmission, as well as the choice to prioritize lightness with a V12 engine built by AMG following Pagani’s guidelines.

The production of the first series of Utopia Coupé is limited to ninety-nine units, all already assigned to a select group of enthusiasts.

On display is the Pirelli P Zero™ Trofeo RS tire, custom-developed for the Utopia by Pirelli, designed to deliver a sporty driving experience on both road and track. This task was accomplished with the aid of carefully selected compounds; specifically, for the rear, the most high-performing option within the range was chosen, providing speed and confidence on the track, as well as ease and predictable reactions on the road. Moreover, thanks to a long virtual development process, the optimization of the imprint on the ground was improved to offer more adherence and control.

On exhibit outside the showroom is the Zonda F Coupé, which, back in 2007, established a new record for production cars (7’27”82) on the 20.6 km Nürburgring track—the paramount proving ground for hypercar manufacturers. The ‘F’ in its name is a tribute to Juan Manuel Fangio, one of the most renowned Formula 1 drivers in history, and a close friend and supporter of Horacio Pagani’s dream. The car features a two-tone design with light grey and exposed carbon exteriors, complemented by red leather interiors. The interior detailing adheres meticulously to Pagani’s tradition, evident in features like the Nardi steering wheel, wood finishes, and a dashboard inspired by the craftsmanship principles of ancient watchmakers. The car’s weight is kept to a minimum through the use of titanium, aluminum, and Inconel components.

Arte in Pista, a high-octane program for an exclusive club of passionate clients

In 2021, for the launch of the Huayra R, Pagani Automobili announced the beginning of the new Arte In Pista program, a rich calendar of personalized events allowing owners of the new model, alongside those of the Zonda R and Zonda Revolución, to take it to its highest levels of performance. The essence of Arte in Pista consists of non-competitive track events at the most prestigious FIA circuits in the world, featuring both high-octane sessions and leisurely moments. The format includes a complete track experience and the technical assistance of the Pagani team, including the technical director for data analysis, track engineers and mechanics, and a motorsports physiotherapist and nutritionist. The program’s highlight is the support of professional drivers, who contribute to improving the client’s driving skills.

«I was fortunate to be able to attend all of the Arte in Pista events during 2022 and I am so pleased I made the time to do so. I felt very much part of the Pagani family, and the level of care and organization were extraordinary. I had nothing to worry about, the Pagani team took care of everything, allowing me to focus all my time and energy on my new Huayra R at the amazing circuits we visited. My family and friends were made to feel very welcome, which made the whole experience even more special for me. I feel I should also mention the driver coaching and race mechanics that were there to support each event. Having raced myself in the past, I could appreciate the quality and level of detail. It does feel like you’re part of a professional race team, with data analysis, driver coaching, timing, and physio.» (M.R. – Huayra R owner)

«A program like Arte in Pista has several key components: the cars, the events, and the people. The Huayra R is just as incredible to drive as it is stunning to look at. Having experienced two years of Arte in Pista with the Huayra R, I am still blown away by the car’s performance and its breadth of capabilities. And the sound! You feel like you’ve been transported back in time to the glory days! The Pagani team that runs the events has to be amongst the world’s best. In addition to managing the cars and the track activities like a professional racing team, they take care of the participants and their families so well that it wouldn’t be much of a stretch to say that these events are worth attending even if you weren’t driving! The level of focus and commitment I’ve seen in most of the participants is seriously impressive. As fun as it is to just be able to drive a car like this on the track, most people in the program are willing to put in the (very) hard work needed to consistently improve. I am very much looking forward to the next season, and beyond!» (A.S. – Huayra R owner)

Genesis of a project born from the world of racing

«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.

We also drew inspiration from the elegance of Le Mans cars that graced the tracks in the ’60s and ’70s, including the swift ‘codalunga’ long-tail prototypes.

With these stylistic foundations, we meticulously addressed aerodynamics, design, and every minute detail, adhering to the high standards synonymous with Pagani Automobili and the expectations of our discerning customers.

This fascinating project engaged the entire team for approximately two years, involving extensive testing and participation in Arte in Pista events on track. We gathered valuable insights from our customers, collaborating closely with longstanding partners such as Pirelli and Brembo to develop top-tier components for a high-performance and distinctive vehicle like the Huayra R Evo.» (Horacio Pagani, Founder & Chief Designer of Pagani Automobili)

In the quest to further elevate the driver’s experience, Mr. Pagani and his team have shaped the new Huayra R Evo drawing inspiration from a time when drivers braved the elements, piloting open-top cars, in their pursuit of victory.

The result is a bold and aggressive vehicle designed to meet an extreme need for freedom, yet with careful consideration for safety, aimed at thrilling even the most expert driver with uncompromising performance. With a significant increase in power output, braking performance, aerodynamic efficiency, and vertical load, the Huayra R Evo can match the performance levels of the current Le Mans Prototype 2 race cars, providing an experience remarkably close to the epic world of endurance racing that has transformed drivers into heroes and sensational cars into eternal legends.

The design, the result of a carefully studied evolution in its natural environment

«When the Huayra R was born, we had an extreme car in mind, an expression of a great desire for freedom. At that time, with premises like these, it was not possible to think of its future evolution, but thanks to the Arte in Pista program and its related experiences, we allowed ourselves to be inspired by new stimuli. Nature teaches us how every organism tends to evolve to adapt to environmental conditions, and this principle guided the creation of the Huayra R Evo project. The term ‘Evo’ reflects the transformation of a Hypercar that increasingly adapts to its natural environment — the track — integrating new elements and evolving in terms of performance and drivability.” (Francesco Perini, Head of Technical Department at Pagani Automobili)

Many of the design peculiarities of the Huayra R Evo are evident at first glance: at the front, the team of designers conceived a compact and aerodynamically efficient layout through a sophisticated system of air ducts to manage the optimal distribution of cooling required for brake discs, calipers, and the water radiator. This ducting system is integrated and supported by the splitter, extended forward by 101 mm (approx. 4 inches), featuring a dedicated aerodynamic profile that enhances the car’s capabilities. Alongside it, the double row of flicks on the hood contributes to the aerodynamic load on the front axle, essential for maximum control during corner entry.

From the front hood, the sinuous beltline and the shaped side sills enhance the perception of lightness and efficiency, giving rise to a flow system essential for functionality in extreme conditions. It represents a complex fusion of shapes and surfaces that, on one hand, allows the release of air and heat accumulated in the front wheel arches, and on the other hand, contributes to generating an airflow that aerodynamically cleans the rear engine compartment.

These features are complemented by a 190 mm (approx. 7.5 inches) extension at the rear, following the ‘codalunga’ (long-tail) concept. The expansive and gracefully contoured rear hood supports the newly introduced central stabilizing fin and the integrated supports within the wing, featuring metal side flaps reminiscent of iconic designs from the past. The body is completed by a rear extractor that incorporates essential aerodynamic fins to streamline the airflow at the rear of the vehicle. All these developments have also led to an increase in the surface area of the aerodynamic underbody, an aspect carefully considered during the design of every detail of the vehicle and its drivability to ensure it is both extreme and intuitive – whether observed in the pits through the expression of its design or experienced while driving on the most prestigious tracks.

The overall body design incorporates cutting-edge Class A carbon fiber, specifically developed for the Utopia with a keen focus on aesthetic applications. This carbon fiber, enhancing both visual appeal and structural performance, has contributed to a 38% increase in stiffness characteristics at the same weight, optimizing material usage and reducing the vehicle’s weight.

This is what gives us the energy to keep working with so much passion and love.»

The new American headquarters is not just an exhibition space, but an authentic hub that embodies the distinctive essence of the brand. The office and showroom interiors, designed and manufactured by Pagani Arte, are harmoniously integrated in a context of advanced technology, offering guests an unparalleled personalized experience.

San Cesario sul Panaro, December 4th, 2023 – Pagani Automobili is pleased to announce its 25th-anniversary celebrations will continue with a new and evocative event at the MAUTO – Museo Nazionale dell’Automobile, in Turin, Italy.

«With great pleasure, MAUTO participates in the celebrations for the 25 years of Pagani Automobili, hosting an exhibition that narrates the artisanal tradition of a brand now renowned worldwide for its innovative trend.» (Lorenza Bravetta, Director of MAUTO – Museo Nazionale dell’Automobile)

From December 5, 2023, to January 14, 2024, visitors will have the opportunity to enjoy the “25 Years of Heart, Hands, and Passion” exhibition on the first floor of the MAUTO. The exhibit revisits the adventure undertaken by Horacio Pagani—from the 1960s in Argentina to the Italian Motor Valley—and recounts how a young boy’s dreams turned into a world-renowned company.

The stars of the commemorative event are the models that still define the history of Pagani Automobili: the Zonda, the Huayra, and the Utopia. In addition to the Hypercars, the museum itinerary will include evocative images from the photographic book Hearts, Hands, and Passion, created to commemorate the anniversary.

«Our approach to work is unique: we cultivate doubt even about what we consider established, ready to question our choices without fear of changing perspective. So we mature, acquire, and transmit knowledge. We strive to live the passion for beauty, quality, and discipline, always looking toward the future. Our goal is to create tailor-made Hypercars so that every customer can feel at home when entering a Pagani, recognizing the car as their own extension, seeing themselves in the vehicle they have contributed to creating.» (Horacio Pagani, Founder & Chief Designer of Pagani Automobili)

The 25th-anniversary celebrations of Pagani Automobili are taking place with international events dedicated to all the people who have believed in Horacio Pagani’s vision from the beginning: clients, colleagues, collaborators, and numerous enthusiasts scattered around the world.

The three Pagani icons

The Zonda C12 is where it all began for Pagani Automobili. It debuted on March 9, 1999, at the Geneva International Motor Show and was instantly perceived as something new on the automotive scene of the time, even earning the ad-hoc title of Hypercar. It was considered futuristic and revolutionary, both for its design and technology. 140 models of the Zonda were made, each one tailor-made to the customer. Their extreme exclusivity considerably increased these vehicles’ values over time, making them great investments for those who believed in Horacio Pagani’s dream. 

On display, the Pirelli P Zero™ Corsa HP tire was developed to highlight the Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta’s superior performance during sporty driving and provide comfort on board. The P Zero™ Corsa draws on materials and innovations from Pirelli’s experience in motorsport.

The exhibition also features the Huayra Coupé, the second model from the San Cesario-based company which was created twelve years after the Zonda. The project, which required eight years of development and experimentation, was centered on the eternal element of air in all its forms; wind, in particular, played a crucial role in defining the concept and style of this Hypercar.
