A mysterious Pagani Huayra prototype has been spied
testing around Italy in recent months. Its identity has remained unknown but we
now know what Pagani is up to. Images obtained by GTspirit reveal that Pagani is working on a new
model dubbed the ‘Dragon’. It is reported that the first Huayra Dragon has been
commissioned by tuning company TopCar Design and that another 4 examples will
be built.
It is believed that Pagani will start building the
Dragon once production of the Huayra Roadster is finished. The vehicle spied is
likely to be a prototype and not one of the five customer cars. Design images of the car ordered
by TopCar Design show that it is adorned with all the same aerodynamic add-ons
as the Huayra prototype spied in recent months.
There’s a bespoke carbon fiber rear
wing, an aggressive roof scoop feeding the twin-turbo 6.0-liter AMG V12 engine,
and a distinctive rear diffuser. In addition, the Huayra Dragon pictured
includes louvers over the front wheel arches, special wheels, and unique side
skirts.
The Huayra Dragon from TopCar also includes a number
of bright orange accents. It remains to be seen if all Huayra Dragon models
will look like this or if customers will have the option to customize the vehicle’s
exterior and interior designs.
In Huayra BC guise, the V12 of the Italian supercar
delivers 745 hp and 1100 Nm of torque. In all likelihood, Pagani
will sprinkle some magic over the Dragon’s powertrain to make it a little more
powerful. Pagani is already planning a successor to the Huayra and with
Roadster, BC Roadster, and now Dragon models to build, there’s a chance this
could be the final Huayra variant.
