Introducing the Pagani Huayra R Evo: track-ready excellence

The Pagani Huayra R Evo debuts with a 888-hp V12, advanced aerodynamics, and a design that pushes the limits of track performance.

In the realm of ultra-exotic hypercars, Pagani has carved a unique niche by consistently pushing the boundaries of performance and design. This legacy continues with the unveiling of the Pagani Huayra R Evo, a track-focused variant that builds upon the storied lineage of the brand’s previous masterpieces. The Italian automaker, known for its meticulous craftsmanship and engineering prowess, has once again raised the bar for what a high-performance track car can be.

The Pagani Huayra, since its debut in 2011, has been the centerpiece of the brand’s lineup, epitomizing the blend of art and technology that Pagani is renowned for. Even with the introduction of the brand-new Utopia, Pagani has not shied away from enhancing its existing models. The Huayra R Evo follows in the footsteps of its predecessors, embodying the extreme performance ethos that Pagani is celebrated for.

The anticipation surrounding the Huayra R Evo reached a crescendo earlier this week when Pagani teased the new track car. Concealed under a sheet, only its silhouette was visible, but the roar of its engine was enough to set hearts racing. Now, with the veil lifted, the Huayra R Evo stands revealed in all its glory, showcasing the audacious design and engineering that Pagani vehicles are known for.

The Huayra R Evo distinguishes itself with several key features. It inherits the «Codalunga» long tail design from a special edition Huayra, enhancing its aerodynamic efficiency and visual appeal. The addition of a massive rear wing, with its central upright merging seamlessly into the car’s spine and connecting with the roof-mounted air intake, is a testament to Pagani’s attention to detail and commitment to performance.

Underneath the hood, the Huayra R Evo is powered by a six-liter, twin-turbocharged V12 engine, developed in collaboration with HWA, known for its high-performance racing engines. This powerhouse delivers an astonishing 888 horsepower, capable of reaching a staggering 8,750-rpm redline. The vehicle also features two removable roof panels, which, when removed, not only offer an exhilarating open-air experience but also enhance the induction sound of the engine.

However, the Huayra R Evo is more than just a powerhouse. It is a finely tuned track instrument designed for the highest levels of performance. The car boasts advanced aerodynamics, including an all-new front lip, an upgraded diffuser, and a significant increase in downforce—45% over the standard Huayra. Surprisingly, the open roof design contributes to this aerodynamic efficiency, adding an additional five percent in downforce.

Pagani has equipped the Huayra R Evo with state-of-the-art components to match its breathtaking performance. The vehicle features upgraded suspension, carbon ceramic brakes, and bespoke Pirelli P Zero slicks, available in both dry and wet configurations. Inside, fireproof racing bucket seats with six-point harnesses underscore the Huayra R Evo’s track-ready credentials.

While Pagani has yet to announce pricing for the Huayra R Evo, it’s clear that this vehicle will command a premium, much like its predecessor, the Huayra R, which sold for over $3 million per unit. Yet, for those in the market for an unparalleled track experience, the Huayra R Evo represents the pinnacle of hypercar performance and design, continuing Pagani’s legacy of creating automotive masterpieces that blend artistry with engineering excellence.
