The Pagani Huayra R … on the street?

Yes, you are reading that title right, it seems someone was able to get the track-only Pagani Huayra R and drive it on public roads, in the middle of a city no less, the sound this race version of the Pagani Huayra makes is just tremendous, make sure to use headphones when you view the video below:

The above video was made during the 2021 edition of the Supercarownerscircle event in Zagreb, Croatia, where we see the Huayra R driving on the city streets, but also doing some acceleration runs on the Velika Gorica Airport, where it looks like there is no reverse gear as they need to push the car back as it can’t make the turn on the narrow runway.

Power in the Pagani Huayra R comes from a V12, 6-litre NAracing engine, designed from the ground up in partnership with HWA AG specifically to meet the Atelier’s need to equip its new creation with the lightest, most powerful, and efficient track-ready V12 ever created with peak performance on the track up to the red line of 9000 rpm while the dry weight of the Huayra R is just 1,050 kg with a maximum power output of 850 hp at 8250 rpm, only 30 units of the Pagani Huayra R will be built, at €2,600,000 each, before taxes.

Back in August 2021, at the Monterey Car Week, Pagani celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Huayra, but they only showcased some key elements of the Huayra R, it seemed the car wasn’t ready yet for a public unveil, and let’s not forget the video where Tim shows us around a 1:1 scale mockup of this race-track only version … it seems they managed to get the first production prototype ready for Zagreb now …

Up close with the Huayra R

Horacio Pagani and his team are hard at work to put together the first customer car for their limited series Huayra R, the track-only version for the stunning Pagani Huayra, but for now, they only put together a 1 on 1 scale mockup vehicle so they can evaluate the modifications done from the 3D computer designed model, over at least two 1/5 scale models, into real-life proportions … no interior yet, and no engine fitted either, but this satin silver metallic Huayra R with the famous orange stripe just looks so impressive, even standing still inside a studio.

There will be 30 units of this stunning Pagani Huayra R available for clients, but these can only be used on a closed track, heavily inspired by one of Horatio’s favorite classic race cars, the Porsche 917, the design for the Huayra R has been radically modified from the regular street-legal version, in the end only very few parts are the same … rumor has it only the exterior rearview mirrors and some screws on the chassis are the same as those found on the streetcar, that’s impressive for a limited production run of only 30 units.

The new Pagani Huayra R will come with a new V12 engine too, codename ‘R’, this engine will be naturally aspirated instead of the turbocharged V12 found in the streetcar, but this beast will come with 850 hp and 750 Nm of torque, inside a car that comes with a dry weight of only 1,050 kg … imagine the acceleration this Huayra R will be capable of.

Because the Pagani Huayra R does not have to comply with legislation for road use, Horatio could go all-out when designing this car, but he did still restrict himself to FIA regulations for GT cars, might a career in racing be on the horizon for these cars? The Huayra R does come with its own, bespoke carbon-fiber monocoque, instead of adding a roll cage to the existing Huayra monocoque, Pagani just created a new one with an integrated roll-over cage.

Take a look at the video Shmee150 was allowed to make featuring this satin silver metallic 1/1 mockup for the Huayra R:
