Pagani Huayra BC Roadster would be
produced before the BC Coupe was even unveiled two years ago. While the vehicle is still some way off from being
finished, we understand that it will be the most capable Huayra to date. In
fact, the ‘standard’ Huayra Roadster already benefits from parts and knowledge
gained from the BC Coupe and is far more than a Huayra that’s simply had its
roof cut off.
The Pagani Huayra BC Roadster will
benefit from a more powerful 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged AMG V12 engine with
potentially in excess of 800 hp. As the Huayra Roadster weighs a substantial 80
kg lighter than the original coupe, it’s reasonable to assume that the Huayra
BC Roadster will be the lightest model to wear the Huayra badge. That means
it’ll tip the scales at under 1199 kg. Power will be transmitted to
the tarmac via a seven-speed automated manual transmission driving the rear
wheels.
For the most part, this Huayra BC Roadster prototype
doesn’t look all that different from the base model. In fact, the only real
point of difference is a slightly more aggressive front bumper inspired by the
BC Coupe. Neither the out-of-this-world carbon fiber rear diffuser or towering
rear wing of the BC Coupe are featured but they may be incorporated into future
prototypes and the production model.
Unsurprisingly, production of the BC Roadster will
be extremely limited and as few as 20 examples are expected to be built for
customers. Unless the Italian company decides to follow up the BC Roadster with
a selection of one-offs, it could very well be the final iteration of the
Huayra.
Horacio Pagani has already confirmed that a successor to the Huayra is
in development with a twin-turbocharged AMG engine and the option of a manual
transmission. The marque is also developing an all-electric vehicle to arrive
in roughly seven years.
