The Pagani Utopia is a mid-engine sports car produced by the Italian sports car manufacturer Pagani. It was developed under the 'C10' codename and presented on the 12th of September 2022 at the Teatro Lirico in Milan.[5] It is a third car model by Pagani, succeeding Pagani Huayra, with more power and a manual gearbox option.[6]
Development[edit]
Pagani Utopia was developed over the period of over six years and utilised eight complete prototypes. Three of those prototypes were dedicated to engine testing that lasted about two years. A total of twelve scale models were made: ten at 1:5 scale and two 1:1 scale models.[3][7]
Specifications[edit]
The Utopia's forged aluminium double wishbone suspension was based on experience gathered throughout the track-only Huayra R's development. The M158 twin-turbocharged V12 engine, designed and built by Mercedes-AMG, will now develop 864 PS (635 kW; 852 hp) at 6000 rpm and 1,100 N⋅m (811 lb⋅ft) of torque available between 2800 and 5900 rpm. The engine weighs 262 kg (578 lb) dry. Pagani partnered with Xtrac to develop a 7-speed gearbox that will be mounted transversally and is available as pure manual or an automated manual and coupled with an electro-mechanical differential by a triple plate clutch.[3][7]
Production[edit]
A total of 99 examples of the closed coupé model are planned with possible open and track variants.[8] All 99 coupés are already assigned to the customers.[3] The first car was delivered in October 2023.[9]
