As with the model Zonda Pagani will probably continue to make special versions of the hypercar Huayra, until customers stop asking for it. We've already seen the Codalunga, Imola and Huayra R models. Now Pagani at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed introduces a new version – and this one has a manual transmission.
That's right, it's the first one Pagani Huayra with manual transmission. Aptly named Huayra Epitome, as it was supposed to represent the pinnacle of the Pagani brand, was ordered by an extremely wealthy client who wanted a Huayra with a manual transmission. The seven-speed gearbox comes from by Xtrac and uses "the latest three-disc clutch for better torque transmission". It is housed in a beautiful aluminum design, just like the Utopia model.
A seven-speed manual transmission is mated to the 6,0-liter engine V12 Mercedes-AMG with two turbines, which has 852 hp and 1.100 Nm of torque and spins up to 6.700 revolutions per minute. Huayra Epitome it has the same power as Utopia, allowing it to reach maximum speed 350 km per hour. A six-way titanium exhaust system sends sound from the Huayra's rear, complemented by a blown diffuser for added downforce.
On the other hand, engineers strengthened the suspension. According to Pagani, the Epitome leans less than the standard Huayra, but there is a mode "Super Soft", which makes driving the most comfortable - you know, for Monaco cruise or the shore of the lake As an. This driving mode is automatically switched off at a speed of 150 km/h.
The exterior is slightly modified and includes front and rear bumpers with new LED lighting elements and larger radiator grille for better air flow. A large integrated rear wing adorns the trunk lid, and the entire body is dressed in dark blue "carbon fiber weave". Gold accents and gold rims complete the classy look.
The car was built by Pagani's special vehicle department Major complications, and it took nine months to plan and another ten months to complete. But if you want one, you're out of luck. That will be the only Huayra of its kind.
