Utopia [Official] Pagani Utopia


The successor to the Huayra, named Utopia, was revealed on 12 September 2022. A total of 99 examples of the closed coupé model are planned, with open and track variants possible in the future. All 99 coupés are already assigned to the customers. The first car was delivered in October 2023. The Utopia uses the same M158 twin-turbocharged V12 engine as the Huayra, designed and built by Mercedes-AMG, but upgraded to produce 864 PS (635 kW; 852 hp) at 6000 rpm and 1,100 N⋅m (811 lb⋅ft) of torque available between 2800 and 5900 rpm. Pagani partnered with Xtrac to develop a 7-speed gearbox that will be mounted transversely, available as a pure manual or an automated manual, and coupled with an electro-mechanical differential by a triple plate clutch.
Can’t say I’m too excited about that dogleg gearbox. Strange decision to go that route instead of the extra push across the gate for 7th in top right. Expect many fluffed gear changes on full-bore acceleration runs.
Yes remember those doglegs on the E12 M535i and also the Mercedes 190E 2.3-16, the first to 2nd change could end up in a nasty crunch.

I was very surprised to find out, and I too am disappointed. But owners will get used to it fairly quickly I guess, it's not like they'll have ample modern cars with a normal 6 speed to create confusion.
And even with the dogleg.....it still beats the shit out of all those stupid paddle shifters.

The gearbox created by Koenigsegg is the holy grail though. And Pagani will source it in the future for their next project.
 
I don't understand anything he said but I'm now a subscriber. Lucky him that the roads over where are toasty and flat! Not true for the south east of England.
 
Breathtaking. I'd have one over a W1, F80 or Bugatti ANY DAY of the week.

The RWD, lightweight manual V12 part is just too good. And then those looks......sheesh.
 
The roadster in habanero red carbon fiber..
I don’t think life as a car enthusiast gets better than that unless you look at classics.

It’s ridiculous.

Burgundy or maroon shades have always been a winning choise on Paganis. Makes the car look like a faberge egg.
 
The depth of that shade of purple is utterly devine. Never seen purple on purple but it's tastefully done here.

I am surprised he drove the car that aggressively before break in.
 
The car is not ruined. OEM alloys are insanely expensive. Not the type of wheels you want to damage if you plan to drive the car alot. Prices can be as scary as $20-30k par alloys! Hence why some people but after market ones on the hypercar.
