New Delhi: Pagani has yet another special for the company’s founder Horacia Pagani for his 70th birthday. A decade ago, for his 60th birthday, the Italian marque celebrated the occasion with the really out of the world Zonda HP Barchetta. This time, the new Huarya 70 Trionfo celebrates the same, marking Lamborghini’s former chief engineer’s 70th birthday.
It is a little quirky take on the car, which was technically retired many years ago to let Utopia breathe. However, in the way Pagani functions, it is barely surprising that Huayra is on the centre stage. In comparison to the standard car, only the doors and window frames carry over. The rest of the body is completely new, including dual-point headlights that are similar to those of another special Huarya, the Codalunga.
In terms of design, the dropping of the quad-light theme does make things slightly different, though the green-and-orange carbon-fibre colour scheme was quite eye-catching.
Pagani have said that only three specimens will come, without specifying if these will be entirely new cars or conversions of existing vehicles. The brand does like bringing back certain nameplates, with the Zonda last year coming back to life with Unico, 26 years after the original one made its debut.
The very aggressive bodywork and extreme aero do suggest that the 70 Trionfo is based on the Huayra Roadster BC. The model comes with Mercedes-AMG’s twin-turbo 6.0-litre V12 to a staggering 791 bhp and 1,050 of torque. It also gets a seven-speed automated-manual gearbox sending power to the back wheels and weighs just 1,250 kgs, all in all giving it a supercar credential.
Huayra 70 Trionfo’s owner mentioned on Instagram that the brand has turned things up a little, with the AMG engine now making 834 bhp. Things are more interesting with the brand going for a seven-speed manual gearbox, replacing the automated manual used in the Huayra Roadster BC.
This isn’t something unknown, with the 2024 Huayra Epitome coming with its amazingly engineered gated manual shifter, while last year’s open-roof Huayra Codalunga also stayed true to the purist route with a traditional manual transmission.
Pagani aren’t showing the other two 70-spec Huayras, and this one is the only one made as a Trionfo. Nevertheless, there is no tiring away from Pagani specials and how the brand keeps reinventing and revitalising the cars.
