Pagani Automobili has unveiled the Huayra Codalunga Speedster, a limited-run hypercar designed to blend vintage racing inspiration with cutting-edge engineering. With only 10 units to be built and pricing expected to exceed $7 million, the Codalunga Speedster is destined exclusively for the ultra-wealthy.
Powered by a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 engine developed in partnership with Mercedes-AMG, the open-top Codalunga produces 852 horsepower and 811 pound-feet of torque. That output is channeled through a choice of two transmissions, including a rare offering in today's hypercar landscape: a traditional three-pedal manual gearbox. Buyers may also opt for Pagani's seven-speed automated manual.
At over 193 inches long, the Speedster features a stretched silhouette inspired by 1960s endurance race cars like the Porsche 908 LH and Ferrari 330 P4. The streamlined longtail bodywork is matched with a removable hardtop and a seamless glass panel that enhances aerodynamics and elegance.
Perhaps its most striking detail is the six-pipe titanium exhaust system. Four pipes exit through the center, with two more routed from each rear corner—offering not only a unique visual but also optimized airflow and acoustic tuning.
Inside, Pagani emphasizes handcrafted detail, combining milled aluminum, mahogany wood trim, and over 450,000 stitches of embroidered leather. A mahogany shift knob and exposed gear linkage further emphasize the analog craftsmanship absent from most modern hypercars.
Company founder Horacio Pagani described the Speedster as a tribute to 'the art of driving,' emphasizing the brand's focus on emotional connection and timeless design over raw performance figures alone.
Deliveries of the Huayra Codalunga Speedster will begin in 2026. With production limited to just 10 units, Pagani's latest creation may never be seen on public roads—but for a select few collectors, it promises an unparalleled driving experience rooted in both heritage and innovation.
