Pagani Zonda 760 LM Roadster
The Pagani Zonda 760 LM Roadster was a one-of-a-kind vehicle, built in 2014, that had been sold at auction 11 years later in 2024.
Moreover, collectors considered it one of the most expensive and rare Pagani cars ever sold. “LE” in its name stood for “Le Mans,” which meant that the car took inspiration from the 24 Hours of Le Mans race.
Taking a look at its design, we came to know that Pagani made 60 custom built parts that you wouldn’t find on other Zondas. It included the large wheel arches, advanced aerodynamic elements, headlight flairings flush with the body work, and a large rear wing inspired by the race track Zonda R.
Quick Specs
-
Engine: 7.3L AMG V12
-
Power: 760 hp
- Transmission: Seven-speed sequential transmission
Price: It was sold at RM Sotheby’s Dubai auction at $11 million, equivalent to £8.75 million.
Huayra Codalunga
Huayra Codalunga was actually a long tail version of the Huayra. Basically, this coupe was built in June 2022 to pay tribute to the racing cars of 1960s. It was first built as a customer vehicle for one client and then turned into a limited production series after two years of development.
Horacio Pagani stated “We have made Codalunga longer and smoother as if the wind had shaped it with elegant lines and smooth curves.” They built it on the Huayra’s dimensions with a redesigned front fascia and a completely new rear section.
Additionally, Pagani sourced a twin-turbo 6.0L V12 engine for this coupe, and it delivered 840 hp and 811 lb-ft of torque. It had a ceramic-coated titanium exhaust system, weighted out 9.7 pounds ( 4.4 kg). The weight of the whole car was 2822 pounds; unbelievably light for a hyper with a big V12 glory.

- Ceramic-coated titanium exhaust system, weighted 9.7 pounds ( 4.4 kg ).
Price: Pagani priced the Huayra Codalunga at around $7.4 million based on the exchange rates at that time. However, this high price doesn’t matter now, as all five units have been sold.
Interesting Information: One of the cars was bought by a customer in the United States. It was because Pagani made it possible to make it legal for road use. We can only hope that the owner drove it and enjoyed it instead of keeping it locked in a private collection.
Pagani Huayra Tricolore
Pagani introduced the Huayra Tricolore on 16th December 2020 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Frecce Tricolori (Italian Air Force’s Aerobatic Team). Moreover, the Aermacchi jets flown by the aerobatic team inspired the design of this ultra-limited edition.
The colours of the car including the blue accented carbon fiber body along the ride and green stripes flown down along the sides symbolized the Italian flag.
It had a newly designed front splitter that enhanced the downforce with special side vents which managed the heat efficiently with an improved cooling system.
Quick Specs:
-
Engine: 6.0L AMG twin-turbo V12
-
Power: 840 hp at 5900 RPM / 1,100 Nm with RPM ranging from 2000-5600.
-
Transmission: 7-speed sequential Xtrac placed transversely for keeping the car’s weight lower( a specialist used in racing tramsmission).
Price: Pagani priced the Huayra Tricolore at €5.5 million + taxes and built only three units, excluding one prototype owned by the company. The company delivered two Tricolores to customers in the US and Stuttgart, Germany.
Huayra Imola Roadster
Pagani Imola Roadster is a convertible version of Imola ( coupe) that was introduced on 23rd November, 2023.
It is legal for street-driving with innovative technology that makes it feel like a real racing car.
Taking a look at its design can make us realize that this Italian manufacturer had used the advanced aerodynamic concepts of Huayra R and created this highest-performing convertible. The company created it to achieve 600 kg of downforce at 280 km/h, which ensured safe and reliable driving in every situation.
Quick Specs:
-
Engine: 6.0L AMG twin-turbo V12
-
Power: 838 hp / 1,100 Nm
- Transmission: Seven-speed transversal sequential
Price: Its price is unknown according to information provided by credible sources. However, we can imagine a figure close to four or five million euros. Like many of the other Pagani models, the company limited the production of the Imola Roadster to 8 units.
Huayra BC Roadster
Second last on our list of expensive and rare Pagani cars, the Huayra BC Roadster pushed boundaries with its unbeatable speed and performance. It was the track-only open-top version of Roadster.
Moreover, its design was incredibly built despite being a roadster due to its ultra carbon fiber removable fiber roof. It weighed around 2756 pounds, 66% lighter even than the regular coupe. Its monocoque structure used even lighter materials called “carbon-titanium HP-62.”
The convertible shared its aerodynamic parts with BC and its huge rear wing generated downforce of 1,102 pounds of downforce at 174 mph, which kept the car glued to the ground. It had the same four-pipe exhaust design like earlier Paganis.
Quick Specs:
-
Engine: 6.0L AMG twin-turbo V12
-
Power: 791 hp / 775 lb-ft
-
Transmission: 7-speed single-clutch
Price: It was priced at around USD $3.4 million exclusive of the taxes during its initial launch and 40 units were built in total.
Pagani Zonda Revolucion
Pagani introduced the Zonda HP Revolucion as an extreme evolution of the Zonda R during “Vanishing Point 13,” an international Pagani gathering.
Furthermore, the company made the design of this car lighter with improved aero features. They built the central monocoque chassis from carbon fiber, which incredibly enhanced the acceleration and the overall performance of this track-focused machine. It also managed to keep the kurb weight to 1070 kg.
The Zonda Revolucion used Brembo CCMR carbon-ceramic brakes derived from F1 technology, which provided better grip and stability on the race tracks.
Significant aerodynamic elements in Zonda Revolucion were its central canards, a vertical stabilizer, and a massive rear wing with DRS ( drag reduction system).
Quick Specs:
-
Engine: 6.0L AMG V12
-
Power: 800 hp / 730 Nm
- Transmission: Magnesium Xtrac 6-speed transverse and sequential gearbox
-
Weight: 1,070 kg
The engine’s sound seemed raw on the race track which could describe it as “an F1 car from the V12 era.”
Price: Pagani produced only five Revolucions in total (excluding the prototype) and priced them at €2.2 million including taxes (about $2.4 million USD or PKR 670 million).
