The final Huayra of the 70th birthday trilogy has been unveiled and Pagani has sure given it a worthy send-off, with a manual V12 and a diamond dust finish.
Debuted at the Concours in Las Vegas on October 31 by Horacio Pagani himself, the Huayra 70 Anima is the closing chapter of the Huayra 70 series.
It follows in the tire tracks of the Trionfo and the Derecho.
And Pagani didn’t spare any flair when it come to this final car.
The Huayra is one of the great modern hypercars
You don’t need us to tell you how spectacular the Huayra is.
But somehow this car – synonymous with greatness – still finds ways to surprise us.
Whether it’s got the interior detailed with 4 million stitches or has a $60,000 goodie sitting inside of it, there’s always something that takes things up a notch.
And then along came the Huayra 70 series, commissioned by Horacio Pagani himself for his 70th birthday.
First came the Trionfo, which was built for the Barchetta Collection in Cincinnati.
And then came the Derecho, which got its moment to shine at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Now we have the third and final car in this series, dropping just over a week before Horacio turns 71.
The third car in a 70th birthday celebration Pagani lineup
The Anima appeared alongside its successors at the Las Vegas event at which it was debuted.
Anima is translated from Italian as ‘soul’, and there’s something undeniably soulful about this car.
To call this car a bookend would be to do it a great disservice – this is a grand finale.
As of yet, it’s not clear when or where this car will be making its European debut.
What set apart this final Huayra?
Wedding exposed carbon fiber with a custom metallic finish and diamond dust, the Anima is nothing short of striking.
Inside, the white seating joins together with blue accents, exposed metal, and a seven-speed manual gearbox.
“For the third and final example of the Huayra 70, we accompanied the client for over a year on a unique customization journey, defined by listening, research, dialogue, and interpretation,” Lorenzo Kerkoc, Head of Pagani Special Projects, said.
“We sought to understand his personality, his memories, and how he imagined this vehicle, translating them into a vision that was authentically his.
“A path inspired by the dream he harbored since childhood: to one day create a special car together with Horacio Pagani.”
There’s still a lot of questions left to be answered about this car.
But for now, the mystery is part of the allure.
