The heart of the Huayra R Evo is a bespoke 6.0-liter V12 engine, developed by HWA, the racing division of Mercedes-AMG. This naturally aspirated beast produces 888 horsepower and 774 lb-ft of torque, and revs up to a staggering 9,200 rpm. The engine is paired with a six-speed sequential gearbox, and sends power to the rear wheels via a mechanical limited-slip differential.

The Huayra R Evo is distinguished by its decreased weight and enhanced aerodynamics in comparison to the standard Huayra.This is achieved through a combination of a carbon-titanium monocoque chassis and a carbon-fiber body, resulting in a mere 2,314 pounds for the car’s weight. The automobile also showcases a longtail layout, incorporating an elongated rear section that enhances stability and downforce. Additionally, the vehicle is equipped with a substantial rear wing, a roof scoop, and a sizable diffuser. Furthermore, there are openings in the roof that aid in cooling the engine and minimizing drag.

It is not just known for its speed, but also for its exceptional agility and responsiveness on the road. This remarkable vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated pushrod suspension system that includes adjustable dampers and anti-roll bars, ensuring a smooth and controlled ride.

Additionally, the car boasts a top-of-the-line high-performance braking system featuring carbon-ceramic discs and six-piston calipers for optimal stopping power. Rolling on 19-inch forged aluminum wheels that are paired with Pirelli P Zero slick tires, the Huayra R Evo delivers an unparalleled driving experience that is both thrilling and exhilarating.

The Huayra R Evo is truly remarkable, being an incredibly exclusive masterpiece, with only 30 units being produced. Each unit comes with a hefty price tag of $3.1 million. In addition to the car, buyers will receive a custom-made racing suit, helmet, and gloves.

Furthermore, purchasers will have the unique opportunity to participate in a specially organized track day program, giving them the chance to drive their cars on renowned racetracks around the world.

The Huayra R Evo serves as a symbol of Pagani’s dedication and skill, paying homage to the Zonda R’s heritage, the former track-focused model that achieved a milestone at the Nürburgring in 2010. The Huayra R Evo represents a fusion of elegance and aggression, delivering a raw and thrilling driving adventure. Undeniably, it stands as the most potent Pagani to date.
