Pagani has introduced the Huayra 70 Roadster, a special edition created to celebrate the 70th birthday of founder Horacio Pagani. Horacio Pagani was born on November 10, 1955 in Casilda, Argentina. Mr. Pagani personally accepted the packaging of the first of the three cars: a one-off Huayra 70 Trionfo, at the company’s factory in Modena. The post presented by Barchetta Collection on Instagram shows that this is the culmination of a year-long development process.
With only three Huayra 70s set to be built, it is set to be one of the rarest cars Pagani has produced in its 26-year history. Pagani confirmed that Horacio Pagani personally approved the project and attended the unveiling.
The Huayra 70 Trionfo is based on the Huayra Roadster platform but features significant visual and aerodynamic revisions. The exterior is made of exposed green carbon fiber with orange accents. The front end features a more aggressive splitter design, while the rear features a large fixed wing and a distinctive diffuser.
There are additional exhaust vents above the front and rear fenders, indicating an emphasis on heat management and aerodynamic stability. A roof-mounted intake scoop, visually similar to what we see on the Zonda Cinque, directs air rearward through a shark fin element.
We don’t have all the details on the exact details, but the post revealed that the Huayra 70 Trionfo features a 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine with 834 horsepower. Unlike most modern Huayra variants, this engine is mated to a 7-speed manual transmission. Pagani has not released any specific torque figures or final performance figures for the Huayra 70 Trionfo.
For comparison, the stock Huayra Roadster makes about 753 horsepower, 738 pound-feet of torque and weighs about 2,800 pounds. The sprint to 60 mph takes about 3.0 seconds, and top speed is listed at 223 mph. The Trionfo’s additional aerodynamic elements suggest a more focused setup, although Pagani hasn’t released any lap times or drag coefficients.
Horacio Pagani moved from Argentina to Italy with limited resources to devote himself to car design and construction. Before starting his own company, he played a key role at Lamborghini, where he led the development of advanced composite materials and contributed to projects such as the Countach Evoluzione. His advocacy of carbon fiber construction influenced Lamborghini’s technical direction and helped shape the modern Italian super sports car landscape.
Looking back, Pagani has a long history of linking personal milestones to meaningful projects. To mark his 50th birthday, Horacio Pagani led the development of the Zonda F, named after Juan Manuel Fangio, whose support helped Pagani gain credibility in Italy. For his 60th birthday, he created the HP Barchetta, another one-of-a-kind piece built to his personal specifications. Now, on its 70th birthday, we have the three-piece Huayra 70 cars that continue that line. With the other two builds in the pipeline, this story continues. Watch this area.
