Interior

The Utopia's forged aluminium double wishbone suspension was based on experience gathered throughout the track-only Huayra R's development. The M158 twin-turbocharged V12 engine, designed and built by Mercedes-AMG, will now develop 864 PS (635 kW; 852 hp) at 6000 rpm and 1,100 N⋅m (811 lb⋅ft) of torque available between 2800 and 5900 rpm. The engine weighs 262 kg (578 lb) dry. Pagani partnered with Xtrac to develop a 7-speed gearbox that will be mounted transversally and is available as pure manual or an automated manual and coupled with an electro-mechanical differential by a triple plate clutch.^[3][7]

Production

A total of 100 including the R&D spec (a spec based on chassis 19 of Pagani Huayra BC) examples of the closed coupé model are planned with possible open and track variants.^[8] All 99 coupés are already assigned to the customers.^[3] The first car was delivered in October 2023.^[9] Pagani Utopia starts at 2.19 million USD.^[10]

On July 30, 2024, Pagani introduced the Utopia Roadster. The Utopia Roadster has a removable carbon-fibre hard-top cover and a removable soft-top. The car retained the coupé powertrain with the same technical specifications.^[11][12] Base price of Utopia Roadster starts at 3.4 million USD.^[13]
