The new C10 has been leaked, replacing the Huayra./

New Pagani C10 leaked ahead of 2022 unveiling

Images on social media appear to show Huayra-replacing hypercar that's due later this year

The upcoming Pagani C10 hypercar, which is set to replace the decade-old Huayra, looks to have been outed on social media months ahead of its official unveiling.

A rendering allegedly of the C10 appeared on a new and anonymous Instagram account last week, accompanied by a picture of a document allegedly targeted at potential buyers, suggesting the leak came from an early customer presentation. The original pictures have now been taken down, but are circulating widely online.

The design blends various elements of previous Pagani designs. The skylights in the roof and wide front grille hark back to the Huayra, whilst the teardrop cabin shape is reminiscent of the older Zonda.

The two small rear wings and angular front bonnet in particular evoke the styling of some of the earliest Pagani models, such as the C12 S.

New features can also be seen across the car. Small winglets in the front grille appear to be possible aerodynamic aids, while subtle yet sizeable air intakes on the roof and across the rear buttresses all but confirm that the C10 will be powered by an internal combustion engine.

The C10, which is said to already be sold out, is rumoured to use a new version of Mercedes-AMG's 6.0 litre twin-turbocharged V12. Buyers will be offered the option of a manual gearbox or a dual-clutch automatic with shift paddles.

Is This Leaked ‘Pagani C10’ Image The Huayra Successor?

According to various sources, the Pagani C10 was actually meant to break cover at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show as part of their 20th anniversary but plans change and the ‘C10’ will reportedly be revealed this year with deliveries taking place in 2023.

An image (seen above) made its way onto a small Instagram page by the name of @gol.ldigger and included the hashtag #paganic10.

It was discovered by The Supercarblog and uploaded to the publication website. The image has since been removed from Instagram which leads us to believe that this is the real deal and the manufacturer themselves asked for it to be taken down.

The C10 is clearly an evolution of the Huayra as it retains the retro styling and overall teardrop shape. The front fascia seems to be more conventional and the beefy shoulder line is very much Zonda-esque.

 
2023 Pagani C10 is Huayra replacement with dynamic remit

Italian firm’s third V12 hypercar has been spotted testing in public for the first time

The upcoming Pagani C10 hypercar, which is set to replace the decade-old Huayra, has been spied testing on the road for the first time.

Its design - although heavily camouflaged - seems to show a number of elements that also appeared in an alleged leaked rendering of the C10 in January.

2023 Pagani C10 to be revealed on 12 September

Official image reveals silhouette of Italian firm’s third V12 hypercar

Pagani has confirmed that its upcoming C10 hypercar, which is set to replace the decade-old Huayra, will be unveiled on 12 September.

The firm also showed off a sketch of the car's silhouette, revealing a swooping, teardrop-style design similar to that seen in an early leak of the C10.

The darkened side profile image comes after a prototype was recently spotted testing on the road.

Pagani release yet another teaser of their C10 Hypercar

The automaker that gave us the eternal Zonda and sculpted Huayra are back. This time they have provided the date of the new Pagani C10 Hypercar launch and revealed a sketch alluding to the silhouette of the next generation functional art car from the Italian brand.

The first model produced by Horacio Pagani originally debuted just before the turn of the century in 1999. Its mythical capabilities meant that it was able to stay in production for 2 decades, with the last model rolling off of the production line in 2019. The Huayra solely took the baton from its forefather and continued to represent the brand that was renowned for its moving art pieces. It seems as though the C10 Hypercar will be doing the same thing with the Huayra, which has enjoyed more than a decade of production.

The new model will officially debut on the 12th of September, 2022 and to accompany the announcement, Pagani posted a series of videos on their Instagram account which give us a better understanding of the replacement’s silhouette. The revealing location for the C10 Hypercar has also been set in Milan with the party promising to be filled with music, art and technology. No matter how much we would love the aural pleasure of hearing the musical V12 motors which have powered their vehicles and the artistic attention to detail second-to-none, we do assume they mean this in the traditional sense.

 
The Pagani C10 Hypercar has been spied in its camo debut

These are the first images of the latest Pagani C10 Hypercar programme and it looks unmistakably like an evolved Huayra although a lot more demure than we expected. The good news is; there is still a V12 perched behind the driver’s seat!

Only last week, the world was shown some profile sketches of the niche Italian supercar. Now, the first Pagani C10 Hypercar has made its camouflage debut in some testing of an early prototype. Things move pretty fast in the production process but the latest Pagani C10 will move even faster. The person of which the company is named after stated that the newcomer will be more focused around performance as opposed to all-out power. That doesn’t mean it won’t come with more power since it will still employ the sonorous AMG-sourced 6-litre V12 but this time around, it may come with 20 to 30 kW more than before. Listen to the V12 here.

Pagani to continue releasing V12 hypercars after scrapping EV plan

Ultra-exclusive hypercar maker to buck the industry trend after four-year study, saying EVs "lack emotion"

Pagani has no plans to make electric cars after conducting a four-year study into whether they would be suitable for the brand.

Company boss Horacio Pagani thinks that EVs are too heavy and lack emotion, and that most of the energy they use is not sustainably produced.

He also believes that the climate impact of supercars is so small that their use of an internal combustion engine, however big, is in a broad context largely irrelevant.

“In 2018, I created a team working on fully electric cars,” he told Autocar at the recent Milan Monza motor show.

This team’s primary responsibility was looking at global homologation for Pagani to create such cars, particularly for the US, and for safety, both of which could be delivered. However, “in four years, we never found interest in the supercar market” for an EV, said Pagani.

He added: “At the moment, 90% of energy is produced without renewables. It’s silly to think that only a few supercars [in the world] with ICEs can have a negative impact on the climate when 90% of energy is produced in a bad way.”

Pagani’s studies also showed that it would need to use a 600kg battery in an EV, which is more than half the Huayra R’s total weight (1070kg).

However, Pagani also believes that the performance of electric cars is excessive.

 
This is the brand new Pagani Utopia: a V12-engined throwback

After Zonda and Huayra comes Utopia, Pagani’s third brand-new model line

Horacio Pagani’s great hero and idol, Leonardo da Vinci, once remarked how “water is the driving force of all nature”. With all due respect to the celebrated polymath, he was wrong.

No, the driving force of all nature is a bespoke Mercedes-AMG biturbo V12 devoid of modern affectations and brimmed with horsepower. Welcome, one and all, to the brand new but decidedly old-school Pagani Utopia. Only Horacio’s third ever hypercar.

The company itself admits it needed to determine exactly what this new ‘C10’ stands for; the Zonda established “the legend” while the Huayra introduced active aero and carbo-titanium. Utopia – a name taken from Sir Thomas More’s famous poem – is born into a world steadily turning the screws on such conspicuous extravagance.

Horacio’s response? “No heavy batteries, no hybrid power, just a wonderful V12. No dual-clutch system, just a pure seven-speed manual or automated transmission.” So old-school that were this car a heavyweight, it’d be Rocky Marciano. The brief was to re-engage with “simplicity, lightness and the pleasure of driving”. And one suspects great pleasure can be derived from a 6.0-litre turbo V12 built specially for Pagani.

 
Pagani Utopia is manual 864bhp hypercar

Italian marque choses lightness and driving engagement over battery power for its third model

The successor to the Pagani Huayra, called Utopia, has been revealed, fitted with a manual gearbox, V12 naturally aspirated engine and features a lightweight design.

In a step away from rivals’ moves towards electrification and the inevitable weight penalty, the Utopia – the Italian marque’s third hypercar – has been built around more traditional character traits of lightness and “driving pleasure”. The car’s carbon tub ensures it tips the scales at 1280kg, which is 67kg less than the Huayra and 716kg lighter than rival (and electric-powered) Pininfarina Battista.

Pagani has also taken the decision to ditch the Huayra’s seven-speed sequential automatic gearbox. Instead, the Utopia uses a lightweight seven-speed manual transmission from Xtrac – the first self-shifter since early Zonda models – with a gated shift design. In a nod to useability, customers can opt to switch to an automatic mode for urban driving.

“However intelligent automatic transmissions may have become, nothing can replace the driver’s own mastery of the gearchanges”, said the firm, on its decision to bring back the manual.

 
Pagani Utopia Revealed As 864 HP (644 kW) Manual Hypercar

The wait is over and the world has a new Pagani following on from the Zonda and the Huayra.

This is the Pagani Utopia, the successor to the Huayra, and notably, the car that brings the manual transmission back to the Italian hypercar company.

The car is based around a central monocoque made from carbon fibre and titanium with tubular subframes front and rear.

Powering the Italian machine is a 6.0-litre twin-turbo V12 from AMG which pumps out a very healthy 864 hp (644 kW) and 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft) of torque. This is sent to the rear wheels via a transversely mounted XTrac seven-speed gearbox. Buyers will have the choice of an automated gearbox or a true manual, with a gated shift pattern and a dog-leg first gear.

Horacio Pagani started sketching the Utopia more than six years ago and as you can see from the images it is somewhat of an evolution of the Huayra but brings in aspects from the majestic Zonda.

 
Pagani Utopia

Horacio Pagani's company is now in its third decade, and here is its third creation. The C8 project, the Zonda, began to establish the legend. The C9 project, the Huayra, built upon this on a global scale, integrating the use of active aerodynamics and Carbo-Titanium. What then, could its third model, codenamed C10, add? More power, increased performance, a better structure and aerodynamics? Absolutely, but what else? Above all, you need a goal.

AIMS AND AMBITIONS

The alchemy of pleasure, the equation of beauty... What would be important for the next Pagani hypercar? Horacio Pagani certainly had his own ideas, but he asked his closest clients, those who eagerly await each of his creations, to express their wishes. They already had exceptionally fast and beautiful cars, what were they still missing? Three terms stood out almost each time they replied: simplicity, lightness and the pleasure of driving. In its development, the C10 project therefore went against the main trends of the time. No heavy batteries, no hybrid power, just a wonderful V12; no dual-clutch system, just a pure seven-speed manual or automated transmission. All this to ensure that the car would respond better than ever to its driver's every action and work with them to be the purest form of driving, a 'classic' experience defined in new ways.

With a brief like this and such high ambitions, what name could be chosen for the car that would embody these principles? Utopia... For the philosopher Thomas More in 1516, Utopia was a place that did not exist, and ever since the name has been given to the idealized places of which we dream. But for those who make their own future, for creators, utopia exists, it is 'merely' a case of finding it!

The Utopia is Pagani's Surprise Third Act with a Manual Transmission and 860 HP

Following the the Zonda and Huayra is hard, but dammit, Pagani is going to do it anyway.

Pagani has come out with its own Godfather Part III, but this time it’s actually good. Feast your eyes on the new Pagani Utopia. It may look like a Zonda and Huayra came together and had a baby, but Pagani says it’s all new… and it’s got a dogleg manual transmission if you want one.

Let’s start out with the heart of the all-new Utopia – its engine. Like all Paganis before, it comes sporting a Mercedes-AMG-derived V12. This one just happens to have two turbochargers strapped to it, making a claimed 864 horsepower and 811 lb-ft of torque out of six liters of displacement. Here’s the big news: the return of the manual transmission. All that power can be routed through either a seven-speed manual transmission or an automated manual. Unfortunately, there’s no Koenigsegg manual and automatic transmission in one wizardry here.

 
Insane new Pagani Utopia is the brand’s first all-new car in over a decade

It’s not often that Automobili Pagani debuts an all-new car. The company has made a good business from producing derivatives of existing models. However, the Pagani Utopia is the first all-new model since the Huayra broke cover. Incidentally, the car codenamed C10, is the third all-new car to herald the company’s third decade of producing boutique supercars. Just 99 units of the new model will be built.

Underneath the Pagani Utopia’s clean bodywork is a new generation of the company’s carbo-titanium monocoque. The quad exhaust is titanium and all the body panels are carbon-fibre. Using these lightweight materials has resulted in a total mass of 1 280 kg.

The Pagani Utopia is powered by a 6.0-litre V12 that is produced in the same plant as all Mercedes-AMG units. This is a tradition that has held true for all Pagani models produced since the very beginning. The twin-turbocharged motor produces 635kW and 1 100 Nm of torque. The latter is on tap from 2 800 to 5 900 r/min. The engine can be mated with a seven-speed automated transmission or a proper seven-speed manual with a clutch pedal. An electro-mechanical differential sends power to exclusively to the rear wheels.
