Pagani Huayra Codalunga Speedster: A Long-Tail Rebellion in the Age of Overstimulation

In July 2025, Pagani revealed the Huayra Codalunga Speedster. Not as a follow-up. Not as a derivative. But as a declaration.

This roofless evolution of the Codalunga coupe strips away the noise. It doesn’t chase trends. It rewrites what a modern hypercar can look and feel like when performance and purity share the same sentence.

A Purist’s Profile in Carbon and Restraint

The Speedster takes inspiration from the 1960s Le Mans prototypes, but what Pagani delivers is not nostalgic. It’s forward-looking, sharpened by craft and restraint. The elongated tail isn’t a flourish. It’s function rendered as sculpture. The absence of a roof amplifies the silhouette. The curvature of the windshield is minimal, deliberate, aerodynamic.

Everything is engineered to be invisible until it matters. No spoilers, no chaos. Just a perfect flow of air and carbon.

Numbers You Feel, Not Just Read

At its core is a 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V12 developed with Mercedes-AMG, delivering 864 horsepower and 1,100 Nm of torque. The 7-speed Xtrac transmission comes in both manual and automated configurations, with each shift tuned to feel mechanical and immediate.

The monocoque is made from Carbo-Titanium, reducing weight without compromising rigidity. It rides on active suspension, stops with carbon-ceramic Brembo brakes, and grips the road with custom Pirelli Trofeo R tires. Every component is optimized for feel, not algorithms.

The Interior is Built, Not Assembled

Open the doors and the experience shifts from speed to serenity. Hand-stitched leather. Machined aluminium controls. Over 450,000 embroidery stitches embedded with the Pagani exhaust signature. The cockpit isn’t decorated. It’s carved.

Pagani doesn’t design interiors. They compose them.

Ten Units. No Two Alike.

Only ten Codalunga Speedsters will exist. Each one will be handcrafted alongside the owner and Horacio Pagani. Every surface, material, and sound is tailored. From the bare carbon finish to the stitch count in the seat bolsters, nothing is fixed. Everything is dialogue.

Deliveries start in 2026. The price stands at £2.5 million. But no one buying this is asking for a price.

The Codalunga Speedster is a Goodbye Letter to Convention

It’s not for showrooms. Not for traffic. Not for social media feeds. It’s for the road less populated. For the collector who still wants to feel danger in design. For the few who understand that beauty, like performance, is most powerful when it’s not trying to prove anything.

This is not Pagani’s next step. It’s a standalone moment. And for NIWWRD, it’s the kind of design that reminds us why cars can still be art.
