Pagani showcases an open-air marvel with its latest model.
The automotive world is abuzz with the upcoming release of the Pagani Huayra Codalunga Speedster, a hypercar that promises to deliver an unparalleled blend of powerful performance and timeless design. Here's a closer look at this exciting new vehicle.
## Design and Inspiration Inspired by the long-tailed sports racing cars of the 1960s and 1970s, the Codalunga Speedster features a stretched "longtail" design with a detachable roof panel. This design allows for a panoramic view when the roof is in place and a dramatic open-air experience when it is removed.
## Engine The car is powered by a Mercedes-AMG 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 engine, tuned by Pagani to deliver significant power. Depending on the source, the engine is reported to produce either 852bhp and 811lb ft of torque, or 864 HP (635 kW).
## Transmission The car offers a choice between a semi-automatic paddleshift and a proper H-pattern manual gearbox, which is a seven-speed Xtrac unit. This manual option is a highlight of the Speedster model.
## Specifications The Codalunga Speedster boasts a top speed of 217mph. It uses a Carbo-Titanium and Carbo-Triax monocoque for lightweight rigidity. Equipped with active suspension and Pagani by Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes, the car promises precise handling. Avional wheels with Pirelli Trofeo R tires provide a responsive driving experience.
The interior is crafted with refined materials like hammered leathers and solid-milled metals. Each embroidered element in the interior consists of 450,000 stitches. The steering wheel is made of carbon fiber with a red wood rim.
## Production The Huayra Codalunga Speedster is a bespoke project created by Pagani's Grandi Complicazioni division, tailored to client specifications without limits on design or vision. Only 10 units of the car will be produced and homologated for road use worldwide.
While the exact price of the Pagani Huayra Codalunga Speedster has not been announced yet, it is expected to be equally expensive as the Codalunga coupe, starting at $7.4 million. Delivery of the car is expected to begin in 2026.
