About this subject

The Pagani Huayra BC was unveiled at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show as an even more extreme version of the already iconic Huayra. The "BC" name honors Benny Caiola, an American entrepreneur and car collector who was a close friend of Horacio Pagani, who passed away before the launch. Only 20 units were produced, all sold before the public debut. The engine is a 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 from Mercedes-AMG, tuned to deliver 800 horsepower and 811 Nm of torque, paired with a seven-speed sequential transmission.

Compared to the standard Huayra, the BC features extensive use of carbon fiber and titanium, resulting in a dry weight of only 1,218 kg, about 132 kg lighter. Aerodynamics were radically revised with a new rear diffuser, fixed rear wing, and roof-mounted air intakes. The suspension was strengthened and the titanium exhaust system was developed by MHG-FaBi. The interior retained Pagani's signature handcrafted luxury, with leather, aluminum, and exposed carbon fiber.

The Huayra BC set lap records at several circuits, including Laguna Seca, where it beat the time of the Porsche 918 Spyder. Its limited production and cutting-edge engineering make it one of the most coveted cars among collectors, with resale values exceeding $2 million. Pagani also offered an optional "Tempesta" package for customers seeking even more performance.

Interestingly, the BC's development involved race drivers like Juan Pablo Montoya and Ronnie Quintarelli, who helped refine its dynamic behavior. The car represents the pinnacle of Pagani's philosophy: uniting art and technology in a visceral celebration of speed and Italian automotive design.
