About this subject

The Pagani Huayra BC was unveiled at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show as an even more extreme version of the already legendary Huayra. Named after Benny Caiola, a close friend of founder Horacio Pagani and one of the first customers of the marque, only 20 units were ever produced. Each car was meticulously hand-built by Pagani Automobili in Modena, Italy.

At its heart lies a 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 engine developed by Mercedes-AMG, delivering an impressive 789 horsepower and 1,100 Nm of torque. This powerplant is mated to a six-speed sequential gearbox from Xtrac, calibrated for quicker shifts. Aerodynamics were drastically improved with new ducts, a larger rear diffuser, and an active rear wing that adjusts according to speed.

Weight reduction was a key focus: the BC uses even lighter carbon fiber for its monocoque and body panels, along with a titanium exhaust system. The result is a dry weight of just 1,218 kg, about 130 kg less than the standard Huayra. This allows the BC to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in under 3 seconds and achieve a top speed exceeding 370 km/h. The suspension was also revised with forged aluminum arms and adjustable dampers.

Inside, the Huayra BC maintains Pagani's signature artisanal luxury, featuring leather, exposed carbon fiber, and analog instruments. Due to its rarity and cutting-edge engineering, all units were sold out before the public debut, with estimated prices exceeding $2.5 million. The BC has become one of the most coveted hypercars of the decade, representing the pinnacle of Pagani's philosophy of blending art and automotive technology.
