We"re not afraid to admit that we"re guilty of taking the mickey out of the relentless churn of special-edition Paganis. But that"s only because we"re incredibly bitter, jealous types. The mystique, magic and incessant pursuit of detail from Pagani is enchanting. Always has been, from the very first Zonda to their latest polka dot purple one-off. But when a brand new as in totally brand new Pagani comes along, we"re all bloody ears. And ladies and gents, we have a new Pagani: the Huayra Roadster BC. "Looks like the other one with the roof chopped off!" you scream into your keyboard. But it"s not. It"s all-new. New engine. New body. New aero. New suspension. New exhaust. New carbon. That enough new for you? Let"s start with the engine. It"s an all-new 6.0-litre twin-turbo V12 specially designed for Pagani by AMG, whose engines have powered all of Pagani"s cars. It"s now the only V12 AMG makes and is bespoke to Pagani to futureproof twelve cylinders for years to come. It"s a thumper too; there"s 791bhp and 774lb ft for the bespoke Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R rear tyres to deal with. The engine is still housed mid-ship, behind the driver"s head feeding an Xtrac seven-speed automated manual transmission with electro-hydraulic actuation and carbon fibre synchronisers.
