The Pagani Huayra 70 Anima gives its owner a seven-speed manual gearbox, a twin-turbo V12 and paint containing diamond dust. Even by Pagani standards, this is a fairly thorough options list.
It completes the three-car Huayra 70 series, developed through the firm’s Grandi Complicazioni division for bespoke projects.
That makes it the final Huayra 70, rather than an announcement that the entire Huayra family is ending.
A V12 with a proper manual gearbox
The engine is a Mercedes-AMG-developed 6.0-litre twin-turbo V12. Pagani’s technical sheet lists 635kW, equivalent to approximately 852bhp, alongside 1,100Nm of torque.
An Xtrac seven-speed manual sends that output to the rear wheels through an electromechanical locking differential. The gear lever gives the driver something rather more involved to do than select Drive and hold on.
Pagani quotes an electronically limited top speed of 350km/h, or 217.5mph. Its published specification does not include a 0–62mph time.
Beneath the carbon-fibre body panels sits a Carbon-Titanium and Carbo-Triax central structure, supported by chrome-molybdenum steel subframes. Electronically adjustable dampers and Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes complete the main chassis hardware.
The tyres are Pirelli P Zero Trofeo Rs, measuring 265/30 R20 at the front and a substantial 355/25 R21 at the rear.
Diamond dust, platinum and six exhaust outlets
The finish combines exposed carbon fibre with custom light-blue and inky-blue colours enhanced with diamond dust. A hand-applied platinum-leaf stripe adds another detail that makes an ordinary metallic paint upgrade seem rather restrained.
Blue wheels, chrome brake calipers and six white ceramic-coated exhaust outlets carry the theme around the car.
Inside, beige and milk-coloured leather meet Loro Piana fabric. The blue carbon fibre and diamond-dust finish continue into the cabin, including the manual gear knob.
Designer Lorenzo Kerkoc says the team spent more than a year working with the client, whose childhood ambition was to create a special car with Horacio Pagani.
The result is called Anima, Italian for soul. Pagani’s announcement places its world premiere at Concours at Wynn Las Vegas, alongside the other two Huayra 70 commissions. No price is given.
