Pagani Utopia

The Utopia (codename C10) is Pagani's third production car, succeeding the Huayra after a 6-year development period. Horacio Pagani consulted his closest existing customers on what they wanted next; the answers were 'simplicity, lightness, the pleasure of driving.' Result: no hybrid, no batteries, no dual-clutch — instead, the Mercedes-AMG M158 V12 (now tuned to 864 hp / 811 lb-ft) paired with either a seven-speed Xtrac sequential single-clutch automated manual or — uniquely for the era — a true seven-speed manual transmission with a gated shifter. The manual is a striking choice in a market that has nearly abandoned three pedals. Carbo-Titanium plus a new Carbo-Triax (carbon plus tri-axis fibreglass) monocoque. Production limited to 99 coupes; all 99 build slots were spoken for within a month of customer invites going out. List price ~$2.5M. The Utopia Roadster (2024-) added 130 cars to the run. Pagani called the project 'Act II' for the company — a deliberate reset of the design language away from the more flamboyant Huayra.
