The $7 Million Huayra Codalunga That Is A Moving Work Of Art

Pagani is the Italian automobile industry that specializes in producing some of the finest Hypercars. The company believes that its singular mission is inspired at the highest level by beauty and scientific research.

The Pagani brand is one of the car brands that has consistently turned the heads of the wealthy. How did this brand become the brand that many of the world’s richest people are willing to spend a whopping $7 million on their cars? 

The brand is the brainchild of Horacio Pagani, the goal was to set off and build a brand that’s both an engineering marvel and a work of art. And, over the years since the inception of the brand, they have consistently churned out some of the most lavish and finest hypercars.

What Beauty Does Pagani Have To Offer In 2022?

Again, in 2022, Pagani has lifted its lid on its newest design—Huayra Codalunga its recommended retail price is tagged at $7.3 million with only 5 units of the car to be produced. 

The most obvious change from the Codalunga – which means longtail in Italian- – is its rear end.

The company states that its long sweeping lines leading to a pair of tail fins are inspired by the Le Man’s racers of the 1960s.

From all sides, the Huayra Codalunga looks absolutely stunning.

An interesting fact about this car is that it came out of the request from two Pagani customers. As a visionary, the founder, Horacio Pagani was more than willing to oblige.

Created through the Pagani Grandi Complicazioni division that handles special builds, it took two years for the design to be finalized.

For the Huayra Codalunga, two prototypes were created – one full-size, and one in 1:4 scale.

Despite the finished product being 360mm longer than the standard Pagani Huayra, it’s actually 68kg (150lb) lighter.

The power on its twin-turbo V12 engine is 840hp.

The interior of the hypercar is another part that everyone who comes in contact with will gush over. It features matte aluminium surfaces and two-tone woven brown leather.

In the words of the company’s founder, it was chosen to “evoke the shades of the past and to bring out the simplicity of the car’s design.”

Although the brand only has 5 examples of the Codalunga to be made, all of them are already committed by buyers despite the huge price of $7.3 million. Regardless, for a car that’s all shades of beauty and performance like this one, Pagani really achieved its aim because rich people won’t waste a second throwing around money to own this car. Out of all the expected 5 buyers, could anyone be Nigerian? No one knows yet.
