Huayra R Serial No. 2

Unveiled in 2021 as the circuit-bound successor to Pagani's road-going Huayra, the Huayra R was conceived as a swansong to the Huayra model line, much like the Zonda R capped the Zonda's legacy. Limited to just 30 examples worldwide and unconstrained by road regulations or racing class rules, the Huayra R embodied Horacio Pagani's vision of "the freest, most extreme and performance-oriented Pagani car of all time."

At the heart of the Huayra R was a 6.0-liter naturally aspirated V12 developed in partnership with HWA AG. This mighty "V12-R" powerplant produced 850 horsepower at 8,250 rpm and 750 nm of torque from 5,500 to 8,300 rpm, building effortlessly to a screaming 9,000-rpm redline. Foregoing the twin-turbochargers of the standard Huayra, the Huayra R's naturally aspirated V12 was a deliberate tribute to grand prix engines of the past-Pagani aimed to capture the "charm, romance, sound and simplicity of the F1 engines of the 1980s" in a modern package. The result was an engine that not only delivered ferocious power but also provided an unforgettable aural experience akin to a classic Formula One car's shriek at full throttle. This sensory experience came thanks to the R's bespoke exhaust system, which was crafted from incredibly thin, ceramic-coated alloy tubing that reduced back pressure for the high-revving V12 while creating an unfiltered howling soundtrack.

Power was transmitted through a brand-new six-speed sequential dog‑ring gearbox designed specifically for the Huayra R. This non-synchronized racing transmission, developed alongside the engine by HWA, weighed only 80 kilograms and was mounted directly to the carbon fiber monocoque, making the entire powertrain a stressed member of the chassis. Shifts were delivered with racing precision-the dog‑ring setup yielded extremely rapid gear changes and ensured that the engine's immense output was put to maximum use. With power sent to the rear wheels alone, the Huayra R retained a purist driving layout, but with far greater stiffness and immediacy than any road car.

The all‑new monocoque chassis of the R incorporated Pagani's latest composite formulas, integrating safety structures directly into the tub while maintaining an exceptionally light dry weight of just 1,050 kilograms. Despite not being homologated for any racing series, the Huayra R was developed to meet FIA GT safety standards with a robust integral roll cage built into the carbon monocoque and deformable crash structures made of composite materials. The chassis included integrated carbon fiber seats fitted with six‑point racing harnesses and upholstered with Nomex flame‑retardant material, complemented by an on‑board fire suppression system. A quick‑release steering wheel housed vital controls while a high‑resolution digital display provided telemetry and status readouts, creating a no‑compromise racing cockpit experience backed by modern safety engineering.

Every aspect of the Huayra R's exterior design was reworked for aerodynamic performance. A prominent roof scoop directed air into the V12, while new side air intakes, wheel arch vents, and an enlarged rear wing all contributed to approximately 1,000 kilograms of downforce. The Huayra R stuck to the track with race‑car levels of grip, and Horacio Pagani's team ensured that this aero package did not come at the expense of aesthetics – the car's form still exhibited the sensuous, timeless lines that drew from 1960s and '70s Le Mans prototypes, a design ethos that Pagani likened to the Porsche 917 and Ferrari P4 that had inspired him. The end result was a machine that was equal parts brutally effective and beautiful.

The suspension was a motorsport‑derived double wishbone setup at all four corners, made from forged aluminum alloy and featuring electronically controlled adaptive dampers. Working in concert with the aero, the active damping could be tuned for different circuits or conditions, giving the driver confidence as the Huayra R approached racing car levels of cornering force. Brembo CCM‑R carbon‑ceramic brakes provided stopping power worthy of a Le Mans prototype: massive 410×38‑mm front discs with six‑piston monobloc calipers, and 390×34‑mm discs with six‑piston calipers at the rear. These advanced brakes, derived from Brembo's endurance racing technology, ensured fade‑free deceleration even under the most demanding track sessions.

This striking example, serial number 2, is one of just 30 Pagani Huayra Rs produced and enjoys an exquisite specification. Ordered with Pagani's coveted Cinque exterior layout, this hypercar boasts a purposeful exposed carbon fiber body with a combination of matte finish for its primary surfaces and glossy finish for the roof, rear diffuser, front splitter, rear wing, mirrors, and side sills. Contrasting stripes, executed in Fluo Red, are enhanced by subtle dark grey Dreamlines. Unique touches include side mirrors proudly bearing the Italian Tricolore and the Pagani logo emblazoned on the rear wing. All exterior aluminum components have been attractively anodized in titanium, complementing the wheels, which are similarly finished in Titanium. Completing the exterior presentation are brake calipers finished in distinctive Olympus bronze.

Inside, the driver-centric cockpit showcases all interior exposed carbon fiber in a matte finish matching the exterior, while aluminum trim elements are anodized in matte black for a minimalist and focused environment. Additionally, this example features a practical window slider fitted to the driver's side door. This meticulous customization originally commanded an extra €300,000 beyond the base price, reflecting the original owner's cost-no-object approach to tailoring this exceptional specification. Having covered a mere 134 kilometers from new, this extraordinary Huayra R presents in virtually as-new condition throughout. The car is accompanied by its comprehensive Racetrack Manual, battery charger, indoor car cover, and center-lock wheel torque gun-essential accessories for the care and operation of this special track-focused hypercar.

Offered directly from its first and only custodian since delivery, this Huayra R benefits from fastidious care throughout its limited use. As the car is now due for its next annual service, the current owner has committed to covering the €17,000 maintenance cost should the new owner elect to send the car to the Pagani factory in Modena, Italy, at their transportation expense.

With only 30 made and none street-legal, ownership of a Huayra R is an exclusive club reserved for the most ardent collectors and motorsport enthusiasts-those who seek the thrill of a machine that exists purely to be unleashed on track. The Huayra R is a collector-grade masterpiece that will forever underscore Horacio Pagani's legacy of fusing passion, technology, and art in the pursuit of automotive perfection. Its rarity, cutting-edge technology, and visceral driving experience ensure that the Huayra R will be celebrated as one of the most significant hypercars of its era, a true "Arte in Pista"-art on the track-embodying Pagani's guiding philosophy that engineering excellence and artistic beauty are inseparable.
