Appearance Pagani Utopia
The design, which the company claims took six years to perfect; making it instantly recognizable as a Pagani Utopia; with features such as a rocket-boosted center exhaust; The raised rear wing and central stern deck design create a transition from the Huayra.
However, the overall look is cleaner and there are new design tricks such as a spoiler that bridges the two rear wings; plus the taillights seem to float in mid-air and are inspired by jet turbines.
A set of cool APP Tech aluminum rims measure 21 inches at the front and 22 inches at the rear; each is wrapped in Pirelli P Zero Corsa rubber.
Pagani Utopia interior
It’s a similar story inside, where there are plenty of familiar design cues; like two circular gauges and four air vents at the top of the dashboard; but enough of a difference to make Huyara owners feel that it’s worth making the upgrade. In a seemingly backward step, Pagani has ditched the old car’s large central touchscreen; Its work is now done by a larger digital display between the speedometer and tachometer.
Drive system
But the notable point is with the car that we previously only knew as the C10. The C10 is a chrome-plated manual shifter that sits proudly on the center tunnel. Although the original Zonda came with a six-speed manual transmission; Huyara has jumped on the manual transmission bandwagon and switched to a seven-speed sequential transmission. As for the Utopia, however, Pagani seems to be delivering what’s good; allowing buyers to choose between a single-clutch or automatic transmission.

Those transmissions are hooked up to a Mercedes-AMG twin-turbo 6.0-liter V12; adds nearly 900 horsepower with 811 lb-ft (1,100 Nm) of torque all the way from 2,800-5,900 rpm. Pagani says changes to the valvetrain allow it to spin to 6,700 rpm; While it doesn’t reveal any performance figures, it claims that the Utopia complies with all global emissions regulations.
Suspension system
The suspension components are great. Connected to each subframe are forged aluminum double wishbones plus pushrod springs and dampers that Pagani describes as “semi-active.”
Pagani Utopia selling price
It seems crazy to think about driving a car this powerful and expensive (2.17 million euros / 2.19 million dollars). Is it a worthy successor to the Huyara.
