Modena played host to the annual Motor Valley Fest, an event that celebrates some of the finest cars to come out of the region. One key highlight of the event was this; a Pagani Utopia painted yellow and adorned in heaps of carbon fiber. Production of the Huayra’s successor is well underway and customer deliveries have started. This is the most flamboyant Utopia we’ve seen to date and based on the presence of orange side markers up front, it looks to be a North American-spec model.
Like many Zondas and Huayras produced over
the years, the exterior finish of this Utopia is split into two segments. The
central spine of the body, including the hood, roof, engine cover, and rear
spoiler, are bathed in glossy carbon fiber while the rest, including the front
and rear quarter panels and the doors, have been painted yellow. The colors of
the Italian flag also run over the car.
Elsewhere, the car’s owner ordered the
wheels to be finished with a yellow outer rim while the inner spokes are
painted gloss black. Carbon fiber aero elements are also found on the wheels
while hidden behind them are gold brake calipers.
Then there’s the cabin. The Utopia’s seats
are primarily finished in black leather with yellow stitching but the centers
have a chequered flag pattern of yellow and black leather. Pagani has also
fitted yellow seat belts and bathed the gauge cluster and transmission tunnel
in carbon fiber, rather than the aluminum finish that’s also available.
While Pagani does sell the car with a
traditional seven-speed manual transmission, this unit has the available
7-speed Xtrac automated manual, complete with paddle shifters. Rounding out the
custom touches made include yellow stitching on the doors with the number ’26.’
