Pagani huayra bc

The Pagani Huayra BC is a limited-edition, track-focused hypercar that pays homage to Benny Caiola, Pagani's first customer.

About this subject

The Pagani Huayra BC was unveiled at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show as an even more extreme evolution of the standard Huayra. Named after Benny Caiola, an American collector and Pagani's first customer, only 20 units were produced, all pre-sold before the official debut. The development focused on weight reduction and aerodynamic efficiency, shedding 132 kg compared to the original Huayra through extensive use of carbon fiber, titanium, and novel composite materials.

Powering the Huayra BC is a Mercedes-AMG M158 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 engine, retuned to deliver 789 horsepower and 1,098 Nm of torque, 90 hp more than the standard version. It mates to a 7-speed dual-clutch automated transmission and rear-wheel drive with an electronic differential. Active aerodynamics were upgraded: new diffusers, a larger front splitter, and a massive movable rear wing provide superior downforce without sacrificing top speed, which exceeds 370 km/h.

Inside, the cabin combines Pagani's handmade luxury with exposed carbon fiber, leather, and a central analog clock. Every panel is custom-fitted. Notably, the BC initials stand for the honoree's name, not a common Italian phrase. The model also features revised suspension, adaptive dampers, and Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes. Regarded as one of the rarest and most coveted cars worldwide, the Huayra BC represents the pinnacle of Italian automotive engineering focused on track performance.

Compared to the standard Huayra, the BC boasts redesigned bodywork: larger air intakes, a restyled hood, and a quad-exit titanium exhaust. Each unit was personalized by its owner. Rarity and pedigree push market values beyond $2.5 million among collectors.
