Pagani Unveils the Huayra Codalunga Speedster at the Las Vegas Concours

Artistic Velocity - Every so often, a machine emerges that feels less like an automobile and more like a moving sculpture—an object that captures both the pulse of speed and the soul of art. In an era where digital dashboards and AI-assisted driving dominate the conversation, Pagani reminds the world that emotion and craftsmanship still define the heart of motoring. That reminder now takes an open-top form in the shape of the Pagani Huayra Codalunga Speedster, set to make its world debut at this year’s Las Vegas Concours at The Wynn.

For decades, Pagani Automobili has stood as a cathedral of automotive artistry in Italy’s Motor Valley, the same sacred ground that birthed Ferrari, Maserati, and Lamborghini. Yet Pagani’s philosophy has always been different—less about sheer horsepower and more about the harmony between technology and human touch. Every bolt, every line, every whisper of carbon fiber seems to tell a story of devotion. After more than twenty-five years of obsessive refinement, Pagani’s stable of hypercars continues to embody that rare balance between engineering brilliance and traditional craftsmanship.

The Huayra Codalunga Speedster is the latest expression of that philosophy, born from the Pagani Grandi Complicazioni division—an atelier dedicated to creating the brand’s most intricate and exclusive commissions. While the original Codalunga coupe reimagined the long-tail endurance racers of the 1960s, the Speedster adds a layer of elemental freedom. It strips away the roof, inviting air and sky to become part of the driving experience, turning every motion into theater. Its elongated silhouette and sculpted surfaces are not just aerodynamic decisions but design poetry, echoing the long-tail aesthetic that inspired it. In every curve, there’s a reverence for history and a daring leap into the future.

Pagani’s display at the Las Vegas Concours won’t stop with the Speedster’s debut. A curated gallery of icons will accompany it—legends like the Zonda C12, the Zonda Arrivederci, and the ultra-rare Zonda and Huayra Tricolore editions, each one a chapter in the story of relentless pursuit of beauty and performance. The fierce Imola and its Roadster sibling will also take their places, alongside the one-of-five Huayra Codalunga and the brand’s latest masterpiece, the Utopia. Together, they form a moving timeline of Pagani’s evolution: from the sculptural rawness of the early Zonda to the ethereal refinement of today’s creations.

But perhaps the most captivating element of the Las Vegas Concours will be the presence of Horacio Pagani himself. Few figures in the automotive world embody the blend of artistry and science as seamlessly as he does. His appearance on the main stage, where he will discuss the philosophy behind his work, offers more than just a masterclass in car design—it’s an exploration of how human imagination can still rival computational perfection.

The event, running from October 31 to November 2, 2025, will conclude with a Tour d’Elegance, where dozens of Pagani hypercars glide down the Las Vegas Strip in a spectacle of sound, form, and light—a celebration not just of cars, but of what cars can mean when created without compromise. In a landscape often obsessed with efficiency and automation, the Pagani Huayra Codalunga Speedster feels like a love letter to the analog spirit. | hgGoC_nOw7s |

It’s a machine built for those who believe that driving should stir the senses, not just measure speed. As it takes its first public bow in Las Vegas, it doesn’t simply showcase a new chapter in Pagani’s story—it reaffirms the idea that true artistry, when fused with precision engineering, never goes out of style. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | PAGANI AUTOMOBILI | NEWS.DUPONTREGESTRY | HYPERCAR.PRO | DESIGNSCENE.NET ]
