Following the critically acclaimed Imola Roadster, Pagani’s Grandi Complicazioni division makes another grand entrance with the Huayra Epitome.
This isn’t just another Huayra; it’s the ultimate expression of the platform’s capabilities. Unlike any other road-legal Huayra before it, the Epitome boasts a manual transmission, a feature coveted by driving purists for the unmatched level of control it offers.
This one-of-a-kind creation is set to steal the show alongside the Imola Roadster at the 2024 Goodwood Festival of Speed, marking a momentous occasion for Pagani.
To further commemorate this milestone year, the Italian automaker will also be presenting four additional vehicles, celebrating a quarter-century since the introduction of their first production car, the Zonda C12.
Boasting an exceptional powerplant, this one-of-a-kind Pagani masterpiece pushes the boundaries of performance. Its engine delivers a staggering 852 horsepower at a peak of 6,000 rpm, along with an immense 811 lb-ft of torque across a broad rev range.
Power is channeled to the rear wheels through a 7-speed transmission with an electronically controlled differential, promising an exhilarating driving experience.
While acceleration figures remain undisclosed, the electronically limited top speed of 217.5 mph hints at the car’s phenomenal capabilities.
But for Pagani, the focus lies in the passion and artistry that goes into each creation, transcending the pursuit of mere speed.
A masterclass in automotive engineering, the Huayra Epitome embodies peak performance through its meticulously chosen materials and design.
At its core lies a carbon-titanium central monocoque, an incredibly strong and lightweight chassis that forms the foundation of the car.
This core is further bolstered by chromium-molybdenum subframes, ensuring exceptional torsional rigidity. Draped over this skeletal structure is a sculpted carbon fiber body, its aerodynamic form minimizing drag as it slices through the air.
Equally impressive are the massive Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R tires, specifically chosen for their ability to handle the car’s immense power.
These tires, with a staggering 265/30-20 measurement in front and a wider 355/25-21 in the rear, provide phenomenal grip to keep the Epitome planted during high-speed maneuvers.
But the Epitome’s brilliance extends beyond its lightweight construction and aggressive stance.
A testament to Pagani’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of automotive engineering, the Huayra Epitome offers not only blistering performance but also exceptional control.
Even a hidden feature like a “super soft” button on the central tunnel, which deactivates at higher speeds to firm up the shock absorbers, exemplifies this commitment to driver-focused design.
The Huayra Epitome is a true engineering marvel, a car where every detail has been meticulously considered to achieve unparalleled performance.
