It took just over three years to meticulously manufacture the 100 Pagani Huayra Roadster promised, each one unique, made to measure for each of its customers. The last, the hundredth unit, is no different.
This very special Huayra Roadster — aren't they all? — stands out for leaving exposed the carbon fiber that gives shape to the bodywork, for the use of a very contrasting yellow inside and also for details such as a rear fin, inspired by the Zonda Tricolore.
But better than us, just because of the voice of its new owner, which leads us to get to know his Huayra Roadster in more detail and what he loved at Horacio Pagani's house:

Presented at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show, half a dozen years after the Huayra Coupé — of which only 100 were also made — the Huayra Roadster impressed and even surprised, above all, for being lighter than the closed model.
And it's not close. There are 80 kg difference between the two bodies and, in addition, Pagani says that it is the open model that is more resistant to torsion. This feat was achieved by profoundly reviewing the structure of the Huayra and applying new materials, but even so, the result achieved is surprising.

What hasn't changed is the choice of “heart”. Behind the two occupants we still have the same 6.0 l twin turbo-capacity V12 as the AMG masters. On the Huayra Roadster the V12 started to debit a few more horses; the power went from 730 hp to 764 hp, but the torque value remained the same: 1000 capable-of-causing-earthquakes-Nm. Everything is transmitted only and only to the rear wheels via a seven-speed semi-automatic gearbox.
A little more powerful, a little lighter (1280 kg dry), the Huayra Roadster decimates 100 km/h in just 3.0s (and just two sprockets) and reaches 370 km/h.
However, November 12th came and went and we are still waiting for the promised Pagani Huayra R, which promises to be the most radical of the Huayra, destined, like the Zonda R, only to circuits:
