Pagani Huayra BC, the most exclusive and expensive model in the brand's range with almost 800 CV

Pagani has always been known for building supercars with a very personal design that you either love or will hate forever.

After more than a decade of success with the Zonda, the Huayra took over as the brand’s flagship. Now we are getting to know a new special edition, called Benny Caiola.

The Huayra was launched in 2011 with the aim of becoming the best-known and most representative model of the brand, after years in which the Zonda had enjoyed all the popularity as the only model in production. The Huayra quickly won over critics and the public thanks to a design that was very well evolved from the Zonda and to brilliant driving dynamics.

Pagani has always been known for the large number of limited editions it has sold throughout its history. In fact, it could be said that it is easier to buy a limited-edition Pagani than a “standard” one. The Huayra BC we present here is a clear example of the Italian brand’s good work in this area.

The Huayra BC pays tribute to a great collector of luxury vehicles who recently passed away, Benny Caiola

Huayra BC is its name, in honour of a great collector of luxury vehicles who recently passed away. It is a special edition limited to 20 units which, of course, have already sold out. In fact, it seems the brand has already taken some orders for the Huayra BC Convertible, which gives a good indication of the sales pace of this edition.

This limited variant stands out from its siblings in the range thanks to a specific exterior decoration featuring “stickers” on the sides, as well as the “BC” badge in certain places on the vehicle. Inside, the decoration favours passion red and lacquered carbon fibre as the predominant elements.

It is mechanically where the Huayra BC truly sets itself apart from the rest, hitting the high note thanks to characteristics unique in the history of the Huayra. To start with, this special edition is 132 kg lighter than a “normal” Huayra, tipping the scales at a surprising 1,318 kg.

In addition, its 6.0 V12 twin-turbo engine of AMG origin has received a power increase to now reach 789 CV and 1,100 Nm. For the first time in the brand, it is paired with a new seven-speed manual paddle-shift gearbox manufactured by XTrac. Furthermore, specialist Dallara has collaborated on the aerodynamic optimisation of the whole package.

Performance figures are expected to be outstanding, with an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in under 3 seconds, and a top speed that will be close to 400 km/h. Its public presentation is scheduled for the Geneva Motor Show, where it can be seen in person and all its technical data revealed.
