What better way for Horacio Pagani to celebrate his 70th birthday than with a trio of very special one-offs, all part of the Pagani Huayra 70 lineup. First, there was the Trionfo released back in January, then came the Derecho a bit later on in July. Each of them was characterized by a unique look and several other mods setting them apart from any other Huayra variants.
And now it’s time for Pagani to release its third and final Huayra 70 iteration. Dubbed the Anima, it debuted during the Concours at Wynn Las Vegas on October 31, mere days before Horacio Pagani’s November 10 birthday. The newest one-of-a-kind Huayra was displayed alongside the other two 70s at the event, and it is arguably the wildest of the bunch.
The Broader Pagani Spirit Embodied In A Single Car
The Huayra 70 Anima was crafted through Pagani’s exclusive Grandi Complicazioni program, just like the Trionfo and Derecho before it. Pagani calls it “the soul of artisanal craftsmanship,” and the Concours at Wynn marked the first instance when all three Huayra 70s were ever displayed side-by-side.
Of course, Anima draws power from a twin-turbocharged six-liter V12 built by Mercedes-AMG, with 852 ponies and 811 pound-feet of torque at its disposal. The engine is paired with that sweet seven-speed manual gearbox first used by the Huayra Epitome. Pagani’s epic one-off has an electronically limited top speed of 217.5 mph, carbon-ceramic Brembo brakes, and a chassis made with a selection of premium materials.
What Makes The Huayra 70 Anima Truly Unique?
Anima’s carbon fiber bodywork is wrapped in a mixture of Custom Metallic Light Blue and Custom Inky Blue finishes, complete with diamond dust for extra shine. And as if that wasn’t exotic enough, there is also a nice bit of platinum leaf pinstriping to spice things up. White ceramic coating covers the six individual exhaust tips at the back, the brake calipers are chrome-plated, and all the shock springs are finished in Argentina Light Blue.
The open-top cabin is utterly magnificent, as well, featuring an abundance of premium white leather and Loro Piana fabric. Moreover, the same blue finishes applied to the bodywork also made their way inside, but you will also notice an assortment of machined aluminum bits rounding out the car’s interior.
CarBuzz Insight – Why This Matters:
Well, this is one heck of a way for Pagani to wrap up its celebratory Huayra 70 run in honor of its founder. And although the Utopia has been around as a Huayra successor since 2022, the older nameplate is being kept alive in a big way by bespoke gems like the one we just examined.
Pagani took a similar approach with the Zonda earlier on, replacing it with the Huayra but continuing to accept one-off commissions through its Grandi Complicazioni program. If you’re like us, then you probably find great peace of mind in knowing the Huayra isn’t truly gone just yet, and it will hopefully stick around for many more years in the form of these splendid one-of-one builds.
