Despite the recent launch of the Pagani Utopia, seen as the successor to the Huayra, the company’s dedication to innovation remains strong. Pagani has a history of producing exceptional versions of their models, as seen with the Codalunga, the Imola, and the Huayra R. The Epitome continues this tradition, debuting at this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed.

A significant milestone for Pagani, the Huayra Epitome is the first Huayra to feature a manual transmission. This model was commissioned by a wealthy client who desired a manual shifter. The seven-speed gearbox, crafted by Xtrac, includes the latest triple-disc clutch for enhanced torque transmission. The gearbox is housed within a beautifully crafted aluminum open gate, reminiscent of the Utopia.

Under the hood, the Huayra Epitome boasts a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V-12 engine from Mercedes-AMG. This powerhouse delivers 852 horsepower and 811 pound-feet of torque, reaching up to 6,700 rpm. The Epitome matches the Utopia in power, achieving a top speed of 217.5 miles per hour. A six-way titanium exhaust system amplifies the engine’s roar, complemented by a blown diffuser that provides extra downforce.

The car also features a "Super Soft" mode, offering a cushioned ride for leisurely drives, perfect for scenic routes around Monaco or Lake Como. Notably, this mode automatically deactivates at speeds exceeding 93 mph, ensuring performance isn’t compromised.
