Pagani Unveils Huayra Codalunga Speedster: A Rare Open-Air Tribute to Racing Elegance

Summary

• Pagani reveals the Huayra Codalunga Speedster, a roofless tribute to 1950s–60s race car elegance
• Powered by an 864 HP V12, it features a lightweight Carbo-Titanium chassis and bespoke craftsmanship
• Only 10 units will be made, with deliveries beginning in 2026

Pagani has unveiled the Huayra Codalunga Speedster, an open-air tribute to mid-century racing elegance and bespoke automotive artistry. Created by the Grandi Complicazioni division, only ten road-legal examples will be built, with deliveries beginning in 2026. The design recalls the flowing forms of 1950s and ’60s racers, with a dramatically low windshield, elongated tail and sculpted bodywork crafted for aerodynamic purity. The removable hardtop creates a seamless silhouette from nose to rear, while hidden ducts and minimalist surfaces evoke a sense of visual lightness and refined motion.

Under the hood lies a 5,980cc Pagani V12, developed with Mercedes-AMG, producing 864 hp and 811 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a 7-speed Xtrac gearbox — available in AMT or manual — the Codalunga Speedster promises a visceral yet graceful driving experience. Its Carbo-Titanium monocoque ensures both structural rigidity and featherlight weight at 2,800 lbs dry. Active suspension, carbon-ceramic Brembo brakes and forged Avional wheels wrapped in Pirelli Trofeo R tires round out the performance package.

Inside, hand-stitched leathers, solid-milled metals and a new haute couture-inspired fabric bring together elegance and innovation. Each seat and panel features embroidery drawn from Pagani’s iconic quad-exhaust motif, composed of over 450,000 stitches. It’s a hypercar as sculpture — delivering speed, serenity and style with equal intent.
