Italian supercar maker Pagani has finally introduced its long-awaited Imola hypercar, named after the racetrack on which it was modeled and fine-tuned. Based on the Carbo-Titanium and Carbo-Triax monocoque used by the Huayra BC Roadster, the new Imola features a revised bodywork with a crazier aero, a lightweight paint known as Acquarello Light, keeping the Imola at just 2,747 pounds, more than 200 pounds lighter than its Huayra coupe.
Powering this beast is a massive 5,980-cc twin-turbo V12 from Mercedes-AMG, producing a staggering 827 horsepower and 811 pound-feet of torque. This immense power is managed by a seven-speed sequential gearbox developed by motorsport specialists Xtrac.
“The aerodynamic technology behind the Pagani Imola is evident in three of its key features. The general outline, the internal aerodynamics and the external aerodynamic details, such as the fins, winglets and deflectors”, explained in the press release Horacio Pagani, Founder and Chief Designer of Pagani Automobili.
Priced at €5 million ($5.41M) the hypercar will debut next month at the Geneva Motor Show.
Unfortunately, only five of these beasts will be made, and all have already been purchased. Sorry guys.
Pagani wasn’t alone in dominating hypercar headlines that month — American manufacturer SSC also entered the scene with the Tuatara, a machine built with one goal in mind: shattering the production car speed record.
