Pagani Utopia

The Pagani Utopia is a mid-engine sports car produced by the Italian manufacturer Pagani. It was developed under the 'C10' codename and presented on 12 September 2022 at the Teatro Lirico in Milan.[5] It is Pagani's third car model, superseding the Pagani Huayra, with more power and a manual gearbox option.[6] The internal model code is C10; succeeding the C8 (Zonda) and C9 (Huayra).

A roadster version the Utopia Roadster was introduced on 30 July 2024 with production limited to 130 units.[7]

Development

The Pagani Utopia was developed over the period of over six years and utilised eight complete prototypes. Three of those prototypes were dedicated to engine testing that lasted about two years. A total of twelve scale models were made: ten at 1:5 scale and two 1:1 scale models.[3][8]

Specifications

The Utopia's forged aluminium double wishbone suspension was based on experience gathered throughout the track-only Huayra R's development. The M158 twin-turbocharged V12 engine, designed and built by Mercedes-AMG, will now develop 864 PS at 6000 rpm and 1100 Nm of torque available between 2800 and 5900 rpm. The engine weighs 262 kg dry. Pagani partnered with Xtrac to develop a 7-speed gearbox that will be mounted transversally and is available as pure manual or an automated manual and coupled with an electro-mechanical differential by a triple plate clutch.[3][8]

Production

Excluding the 8 coupé prototypes, a total of 99 examples of the closed coupé model are planned, with possible future track variants.[9] All 99 coupés are already assigned to the customers.[3] The first car was delivered in October 2023.[10] Pagani Utopia starts at 2.19 million USD.[11]

On July 30, 2024, Pagani introduced the Utopia Roadster. The Utopia Roadster has a removable carbon-fibre hard-top cover and a removable soft-top. The car retained the coupé powertrain with the same technical specifications.[12][13] Base price of Utopia Roadster starts at 3.4 million USD.[14] Production of the Utopia Roadster will be limited to 130 units only.
