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:
[embedded content] [embedded content]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 …
