[Jeenyuhs]

 

Pagani has revealed a series of upgrades to its track-focused Huayra, including more power, a new suspension, and revised aerodynamics.

 

• Pagani has shown the first images of the Pacchetto Tempesta, a package meant to take the Huayra BC to a new extreme.
• The Pacchetto Tempesta includes a redesigned rear wing with a central fin, a new six-pipe exhaust, and even more power and torque from the V-12, for totals of 816 horsepower and 811 pound-feet.
• The Pacchetto Tempesta will be officially revealed on Friday, August 13, at The Quail as part of Monterey Car Week.

 

The 2021 edition of Monterey Car Week gets underway this weekend. Ahead of an in-person reveal at The Quail next Friday, Pagani has shared images of its latest creation, the Pacchetto Tempesta, a series of upgrades for the already special Huayra BC. The Italian supercar maker says that the changes included in the package are designed for "further unleashing the car's true racing attitude" and has provided a few details ahead of the official debut.

 

The new package is exclusive to the Huayra BC, an extreme, track-focused version of the ornate Huayra supercar that was priced at around $2.5 million. Pagani has adjusted the vehicle's aerodynamics, crafting a revised front splitter, redesigning the front air intakes, and fitting a new rear wing with an integrated central fin. Pagani has also squeezed more power and torque out of the car's Mercedes-AMG 6.0-liter V-12. The engine now churns out 816 horsepower and 811 pound-feet, up from 791 hp and 775 pound-feet in the "standard" BC. The V-12 will scream through a new six-pipe exhaust system, and Pagani also says the car has a new suspension and a Soft Driving mode for more comfort.

 

 

Since Pagani has already built all 20 Huayra BCs, it is likely that the Pacchetto Tempesta is an upgrade that can be retrofitted for any owners who want it. Pagani also made 40 of the Huayra Roadster BC, but it's not clear whether the package will be available on the topless version of the BC. More details should emerge when Pagani debuts the Pacchetto Tempesta in person at The Quail next week.
