We all thought the Pagani Huayra was done for after the eccentric Italian hypercar brand\u2019s third model, the Pagani Utopia, was revealed in 2022. Time to think again because this is the Pagani Imola Roadster: an ultra-exclusive drop-top speed machine that was built for the road but \u201cdoes not fear the track,\u201d according to its makers.<\/p>\n
The Imola Roadster was developed by Pagani\u2019s Grandi Complicazioni division, which focuses on creating limited-number Paganis like last year\u2019s Huayra Codelunga. The team\u2019s approach with this car wasn't just to take a tin opener to the Imola coupe from 2020, instead it combined the technology from the already outrageous Huayra Roadster BC with a design and aerodynamics inspired by the hardcore Huayra R track car. Gulp.<\/p>\n
The new design features enlarged front air intakes and warm air outlets \u2013 one hidden in the wheelarch, another on the side of the front bumper \u2013 that reduce pressure under the front end. This, in turn, improves the car\u2019s stability and boosts airflow towards more aerodynamic aides at the rear.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s where you\u2019ll find new tail-lights, a new diffuser, rear wheelarch air vents and that enormous rear wing that looks like it came straight off Thunderbird 2. The benefit of all that is that the Imola Roadster\u2019s bodywork creates 600kg of downforce at 174 mph.<\/p>\n
The cherry on top of all of that is the air scoop positioned directly above the extremely lucky occupants\u2019 heads. It feeds the Imola Roadster\u2019s twin-turbo 6.0-litre V12 that was made by AMG specifically for Pagani. It delivers 838bhp and 1,100Nm of torque, all of which is sent to the rear wheels via an seven-speed sequential gearbox from British company Xtrac. No 0-62mph time has been revealed, but the car will accelerate with the force of 2G and has a v-max of 217mph.<\/p>\n
Other fantastic details include the six-pipe titanium exhaust system that produces a \u201ctruly astonishing\u201d sound, and there are four active flaps that move independently from one another to offset pitch when braking, and roll when cornering. Not to mention the fact the Imola Roadster weighs just 1,260kg, which makes a Porsche Cayman GT4 RS look a bit lardy.<\/p>\n
Just eight examples of the Imola Roadster will ever be built, so while Pagani hasn\u2019t said how much each costs, they\u2019re probably all sold out anyway.<\/p>\n
