Pagani Huayra Roadster revealed ahead of Geneva debut

This is it. Say hello to the Pagani Huayra Roadster. The open top hypercar was been officially revealed ahead of its debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month.

The Pagani Huayra Roadster is lighter than its Coupe sibling. It tips the scales at 1280 kg, 80 kg lighter than the Coupe, thanks to the use of new composite materials.

Power comes from an upgraded Mercedes-AMG M158 6.0-liter V12 engine that develops 754 horsepower at 6200 rpm and over 1000 Nm of torque at 2400 rpm. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a new 7 speed automated manual transmission thats also seen on the Huayra BC. There are five driving modes: Wet, Comfort, Sport, Race and ESC Off.The suspension uses a new lightweight aluminum alloy, called HiForg that has been specially designed for the car. It helps reduce weight by 25 % over the Coupe.

The Pagani Huayra Roadster features Brembo carbon ceramic brakes with 380×34 mm discs and 6-piston calipers in the front, and 380×34 mm discs, 4-piston calipers at the rear. A special tyre has been developed with Pirelli and the initials of the company’s founder “HP” are found on the sidewalls. 

Pagani offers two types of roof for the Roadster. One is a light carbon hard top with a central glass and the other  fabric and carbon cover can be stored inside the car.

Only 100 units of the Pagani Huayra Roadster will be made and sources say that all have been sold out.
