A high performance European carmaker, set up over 30 years ago, is launching a new bespoke model which comes with an eye-watering price.
The Huayra Codalunga Speedster is the latest car from Pagani Automobili and promises a top speed of 217mph. Unfortunately, just ten cars will be made.
This exclusive car is powered by a V12 Mercedes-AMG engine in common with most of the Pagani range and is inspired by the racing cars of the fifties and sixties.
The company was founded in 1992 by Argentine-Italian engineer and entrepreneur Horacio Pagani and is known for developing low volume supercars incorporating stunning features. Pagani started out working on prestige projects with Lamborghini.
His entrance into the ‘supercar club’ came with the six-litre Zonda C12 and was followed by the Pagani Huayra and most recently the Utopia, revealed in 2022.
The new Huayra Codalunga Speedster is handcrafted by the best Italian designers and will be finished in a metallic mint green.
Inside, there’s a real nod to the best in European retro styling from hand-stitched leather seats and chrome dials to a carbon-fibre finished gear stick and mahogany trim.
Interested? Prices are expected to start well over £2.5 million and deliveries are not planned until next year.
