Taking the place of the Huayra, Pagani Utopia it’s an ode to automotive purism with a V12 sending torque and power through a manual gearbox exclusively to the rear wheels. There’s no doubt that it’s nice to see a model like this coming out in a difficult time for automotive passion. Fortunately, Gordon Murray with his T50 or Koenigsegg with his 8 50 are present.

Unfortunately, like these last ones Utopia is exchanged for a tidy sum of 2.17 million euros… Tax free.

Stylishly!

According to the company, it took six years to perfect the style newbie But in return for her efforts, no one can doubt that she is truly a Pagani, since her origins are so obvious. The central exhaust pipe, raised rear fenders and boat-shaped rear end make the transition from the Huyara and resemble the very successful Zonda.

In the passenger compartment, this is not a significant change in the situation due to the usual design, such as two round instruments or four ventilation holes in the upper part of the instrument panel. Still, a Huayra owner will find enough of a difference to sign a new check. The biggest change rejection of the central touch screen replace with one, without touch controls, behind the wheel between the speedometer and the tachometer, against the trend of its time.

Pagani Utopia and the technical description of her dream

A back-to-basics Italian supercar that, like the Zonda, offers a manual gearbox for the most purist, but still has the option of a single-clutch automatic transmission for others. A dual-clutch automatic transmission was excluded from the specification due to excessive weight. Indeed, the Utopia weighs only 1,280 kg.

Under the hood we find a large one 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V12 still with Mercedes-AMG and which is therefore developing 864 hp and 1100 Nm from 2800 to 5900 rpm. According to paganschanges in the valve mechanism make it possible to reach a maximum speed of 6700 rpm.

On the suspension side, there are double wishbones, each connected to each subframe, in forged aluminum, as well as pushrod springs and shock absorbers that pagans described as “semi-active” and capable of withstanding kerb attacks on circuitous rides while providing decent comfort on open roads.

To connect everything with the road, we find aluminum discs APP Tech’s 21 inches in front and 22 inches behind, shod in tires Pirelli P Zero Corsa.
