Pagani Huayra Codalunga Speedster Debuts with Manual V12 Power

Pagani is no stranger to keeping icons alive well past their supposed retirement dates. Just as the Zonda outlived its successor with a string of bespoke creations, the Huayra continues to evolve even as its successor, the Utopia, enters production.

The latest example of this artistry? Meet the Pagani Huayra Codalunga Speedster—an ultra-limited, open-top longtail that takes the Huayra’s silhouette to new, windswept heights.

A Sculpted Speed Machine with the Roof Left Behind

If the name sounds familiar, that’s because the Speedster is essentially a topless version of the Codalunga coupe revealed in 2022. But don’t let that simplicity fool you—this isn’t just a chopped-roof variant.

A lowered windshield enhances aerodynamics and delivers a sleeker profile

In inclement weather, owners can snap on a hardtop with a flowing glass canopy that beautifully integrates with the body lines and conceals the roaring heart beneath

At the rear, the extended tail maintains its elegant downward slope before kicking up into a subtle ducktail spoiler. Pagani’s signature floating taillights and wild six-outlet exhaust system—four centrally mounted tips with two hidden in the diffuser—complete the picture of aerodynamic aggression.

Luxury, the Pagani Way: Inside the Codalunga Speedster

Step into the cabin and it’s clear that Pagani has once again blurred the line between hypercar and haute couture.

• Hand-stitched leather adorns nearly every surface
• Exposed milled aluminum controls evoke classic mechanical precision
• The carbon-fiber steering wheel is accented with a polished mahogany rim and aluminum rivets for a truly vintage touch
• A matching gear knob links to a visible mechanical linkage—a nod to analog driving enthusiasts

Adding to the artistic flair is a newly developed fabric found on the seats, door panels, and center console. Inspired by the Codalunga’s distinctive quad exhausts, this embroidery reportedly involves 450,000 stitches per piece, underscoring Pagani’s obsession with detail.

AMG Power and a Manual Transmission? Yes, Please.

Underneath the elegant bodywork sits a 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V12, sourced from AMG. It churns out a thunderous 852 horsepower and 811 lb-ft of torque—identical figures to the Pagani Utopia.

This monster engine connects to a seven-speed Xtrac transmission, available in both automated manual and true manual variants.

That’s right—the Codalunga Speedster becomes only the second Huayra ever offered with a proper manual gearbox, following the Huayra Epitome. Rear-wheel drive ensures purists get the unfiltered experience they crave.

Just 10 Units, Global Homologation, and a Sky-High Price Tag

Pagani will build only 10 examples of the Codalunga Speedster, and each one is fully homologated for global road use—a rarity in the ultra-limited hypercar world.

While Pagani hasn’t announced an official price, the fixed-roof Codalunga coupe reportedly started at around $7.4 million. With added exclusivity and open-top thrills, the Speedster is all but guaranteed to command an even higher price.

Final Thoughts

The Pagani Huayra Codalunga Speedster is more than just a new variant—it’s a rolling sculpture that celebrates the best of analog driving, Italian craftsmanship, and boundary-pushing design.

With a thunderous V12, manual gearbox, and just 10 units destined for the world’s most discerning collectors, this is open-air motoring at its most elite.
