864 Hp, 1280 kg, 350 km / h, here is Horacio Pagani's Utopia
Handcrafted in the San Cesario sul Panaro factory with highly technological materials, it presents avant-garde solutions that promise a 'classic' driving pleasure, elevated to the nth degree.
His style is a trait d'union and maturity between the first Zonda and the current Huayra.
Details of both are skilfully mixed with elements with a vintage flavor to create a special work.
A hypercar with brutal performance, a car that with the simplicity and cleanliness of its sinuous lines is capable of thrilling even when stationary.
Equipped with a very traditional petrol engine, a powerful 12-cylinder V with double turbocharging, specifically developed by the Mercedes-Benz AMG technicians to meet the very demanding requests of Pagani, the
Utopia by Horacio is a concentrate of passion and hi-tech knowledge.
With an impressive maximum torque of 1,100 Nm at just 2,800 rpm, it promises heart-breaking acceleration.
However, it is not the superlative performance, yet to be officially declared (electronically limited speed at 350 km / h and lateral accelerations of 2g), that create the maximum expectation.
It is the whole of the visionary work that generates greed.
It features a monocoque in Carbo-Titanium and Carbo-Triax, materials developed by Pagani to obtain maximum strength with the minimum possible weight.
They are paired with the racing-style front and rear tubular frames, made of chromium-molybdenum steel alloy.
As befits the realization of a dream of lightness, the independent suspensions are in aluminum alloy: forged,
"The car was created to be timeless, with an artistic side combined with a scientific one", in the words of Pagani.
The result of a creative project that lasted a total of 6 years, Utopia sports huge 21-inch front and 22-inch rear wheels fitted with Pirelli PZero Corsa.
Wheels that are decelerated by a Brembo braking system: another source of pride for the Italian character of the engines.
Specially developed for this model, it features 4 ventilated carbon-ceramic discs: 410x38 mm front with 6-piston monolithic calipers and 390x34 mm rear with 4-piston monolithic calipers.
Finally, the interior: inspired by the vintage style of the 50s and 60s, it is a hi-performance lounge to be discovered day after day.
Produced in this first series in 99 copies (which will be followed by limited editions and subsequent series), individually configured to the customer's tastes, it was chosen both with a paddle change and a manual that is a technological jewel of the past.
The first ones will be produced and delivered from mid-2023. In these months of waiting, the wealthy lucky buyers will be able to pass the time by watching and "playing" with a scale model signed by MR Collection, a concrete Utopia but in reduced dimensions, with all the aesthetic specifications of the one ordered.
