  • Zonda. Huayra. A succinct but epic bloodline for the next Pagani hypercar to follow.
    And there’s much promise too, for the new Utopia: a twin-turbo, AMG-supplied V12 with 846bhp; a carbo-titanium monocoque; even the option of a manual gearbox…
    Only 99 will be built, each costing around £2.2m a pop.
    But is it a piece of automotive art, too delectable to be driven? Top Gear Magazine’s Head of Car Testing, Ollie Marriage, finds out…

      It’s still not as good looking as the Huayra or the Zonda F. The cabin itself is a step back from the Huayra’s cabin. Outside the Huayra looked like a fighter jet. This with its organic bits and too many details ruins it for me. The Huayra’s side view mirrors were so beautiful.

    The evolution from the huraya to this is car art at its best.
    The angle from the back over the exhaust and you see the rainwater stays on the engine cover and not floating away gives me butterflies in my belly.
    The effort and details makes it, from my point of view, the most beautyful car design a.t.m. on road.

    Very cool to see it actually get out there, and show its full character. I was quite puzzled with it at launch, but also had a feeling Pagani were better designers than me, and thus, that it would grow on me, and take time to fully understand and appreciate. And it has, since then. Now even more, when it's being driven - the final part of the puzzle, you could say. Congratulations Pagani. 3 cars and 3 paradigm defining achievements, each in their own right, and each being decisively different from each other. Kudos.

    i dont want to take away form all the comments in the video, but its a Pagani, some things are impossible to describe however the "No and Yes" is the best and most accurate comment. That is why every Pagani is amazing. Its that AMG based v12 heart, my favorite engine and it is true to how it differentiates the car and the driving experience. Pagani takes all the design characteristics to perfection, he is a master of user experience, design and the combination of the two. It is for this reason that this car becomes artwork. We have a dealer near us in Greenwich CT. I have been lucky to meet Horatio once while he visited Miller Motorcars. He is a very calm and cool guy and his background is amazing. For me his innovation around Carbon fiber will always be in my top 5 of all automotive accomplishments.

Cue Pagani Zonda building only their 3rd model since the turn of the millenium, complete with a manual, 80s Ferrari-like H-gate gearbox, infused with the trademark AMG V12 heartbeat that sounds so good, it could wake up the dead. There are still unicorns and Utopia does exist, after all.

With Pagani they follow that flow but if it has a place in or on the car it shall be the most beautiful thing. Take the shifter, most would hide the thing in a center console only to see the stick and gate. Pangani says " sculpt the entire thing and build the interior around it " ....just an awesome car company.

A lot of People think of Italy and think of nice sunny Weather but that couldn't be further from the Truth!
    That said, i still don't know what to think of t he Pagani Utopia, it looks soooo much like a Huayra, but i guess that's because i experienced the Release of the Zonda and then the Release of the Huayra and they were so different.
    Either way Pagani is amazing and i hope they will keep going and still keep sourcing their V12s from Mercedes-Benz AMG because it's the perfect Fit for that Car!

      You need to do a side-by-side comparison of the Utopia and the Huayra. They are not alike at all. Biggest distinction is the air intakes at the bottom of the front of the Utopia, The Huayra is much more simplistic in design, less busy, more flat panels/blank space. The bubble shape of the cockpit in the Utopia is another big standout from the Huayra. The idea was still there on the Huarya, but the bobble is much more emphasized on the Utopia, although you might have to look at it in a 3 dimensional way to notice the changes. The headlights are also massively different in the Utopia. I also much prefer the font in the dials in the Utopia, and the wheels are a significant upgrade, imo. Huarya wheels may have been made out of nice materials, but always looked like well made generic aftermarket cheapo wheels/wheel covers to me.

    The Monteverdi, with its blend of Swiss precision and Italian elegance, stands as a testament to the enduring allure of classic craftsmanship. Unlike the Pagani Utopia, which seems to cater to the flashy tastes of the nouveau riche, a Monteverdi exudes the kind of understated luxury that is synonymous with old wealth. It’s a vehicle that doesn’t need to boast about its capabilities or price tag; its poise and grace are enough to convey its storied heritage and the refined taste of its owner.

    A lot of people don't understand the ethos that the Pagani Utopia is supposed to evoke. It's a completely different design philosophy when compared to the Huayra. The Huayra is inspired by aviation and even the name refers to a wind that flows through Italy. The Utopia on the other hand is meant to harken back to race cars of old. There's nothing else quite like it and so the Utopia is both a hypercar and a work of art.
