The all-new Pagani Huayra Roadster came to the 2017
Geneva Motor Show for its world premiere. They may have its top chopped off, but that doesn’t mean that the extra
reinforcements make it heavier than the coupe. In fact, the automaker claims
that the Roadster is actually 80 kg lighter than the hardtop, thanks
to some clever engineering.
Powering the roadster is a 6.0-liter V12 engine
developed by Mercedes-AMG, which was upgraded to produce 764 PS and
more than 1,000 Nm of torque, channeled to the rear wheels through
a 7-speed automated manual gearbox that comes straight from the Huayra BC.
Details surrounding its 0-100 km/h acceleration and top speed have yet to be announced. Only 100 units of the
Roadster will be put together, some of which have probably been already spoken
for, despite the steep price tag of € 2.28 million (US$ 2.41 million) excluding
taxes.
