Pagani huayra bc

The Pagani Huayra BC is a limited-edition hypercar named after Benny Caiola, a friend of Horacio Pagani.

About this subject

The Pagani Huayra BC was unveiled at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show as a more extreme version of the already extraordinary Huayra. Developed to celebrate the friendship between Horacio Pagani and collector Benny Caiola (hence the BC initials), production was limited to just 20 units, all sold out before the official launch. The heart of the BC is a 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 engine supplied by Mercedes-AMG, tuned to produce 789 bhp and 1,050 Nm of torque, paired with a seven-speed sequential gearbox. The bodywork extensively uses carbon fiber and titanium, resulting in a dry weight of only 1,218 kg, 132 kg less than the standard Huayra.

The exterior design features larger air intakes, an enlarged rear diffuser, and a fixed rear wing that replaces the original Huayra's active system, prioritizing downforce at high speeds. The suspension was revised with adjustable dampers and stiffer anti-roll bars, while the brakes are carbon-ceramic with six-piston calipers. Despite its track focus, the interior retains Pagani's typical handcrafted luxury, with leather, polished aluminum, and carbon fiber accents. Each BC is unique, with customization options including exclusive paint options and special finishes.

Performance is breathtaking: 0-60 mph in 2.7 seconds and a top speed exceeding 237 mph. The BC name also honors Caiola's legacy, who was one of Pagani's first customers and a major enthusiast. The Huayra BC is regarded by many as the ultimate expression of Italian automotive engineering, combining cutting-edge technology with traditional hand-built craftsmanship. Its rarity and performance make it one of the most coveted hypercars of the decade, with resale values often exceeding the original price of around $2.5 million.
