The Pagani Huayra is nearing the end of its run. The final coupe — number 100 — will be dressed up like Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes-AMG F1 car. The roadster version that follows will be limited to just 100 examples, too. It should be no surprise then that the company is working on its third model. According to Car and Driver, a fourth one is in the works, too. Rather than a big, twin-V12, the fourth model will be all electric.
Company founder and namesake Horacio Pagani told Car and Driver that you can't just ignore electric cars. By the end of this year, Pagani plans to have a division within the company dedicated to researching and developing EVs. Like other Pagani models, there will be a heavy focus on saving weight.
Like the gasoline-powered cars, the new EV will likely use a Mercedes powertrain. Pagani has had a technical partnership with Daimler for years. Pagani says the new model is unlikely to be a hybrid, mostly to save weight.
This car is still a little ways off. Roadster production isn't set to end until 2020, giving Pagani a bit of time to work on the two new models.
while i certainly can't deny the inevitable march of progress, wondrous creations like these will certainly be missed. i see that the electric won't replace gas models, but i think it's apparent that the oldschool era of supercars is fading.
serious credit to horacio pagani... two decades ago there was no pagani, and in only a few years he managed to produce a fantastic blend of engineering and artwork that truly captivated the world, and seriously took up a chunk of the bedroom wall poster market from the established giants.
i mean you don't have to know what this is or even anything about it to know it's something seriously special
will always be one of my favorites the zonda with it's n/a amg v12
