The Pagani Huayra Codalunga has recently become a trending topic among car lovers in India and across the world. This ultra-rare luxury supercar is not just another high-performance vehicle — it is a handcrafted collector’s item designed with inspiration from 1960s race cars. In this article, we explain what the Pagani Huayra Codalunga is, why it is making headlines, its key details, and what it means for the luxury car market in India.

Design Inspired by Classic Race Cars

The Pagani Huayra Codalunga is a special edition of the Huayra series created by the Italian luxury carmaker Pagani.

The word Codalunga means “long tail” in Italian. This name comes from its extended rear body design, which improves aerodynamic performance and gives the car a smoother, more elegant look.

Unlike modern aggressive supercars, the Codalunga follows a clean and minimal design approach. Its long tail bodywork is inspired by 1960s Le Mans race cars. The aim was to reduce drag and create a timeless shape rather than focusing only on speed.

The car is hand-built by Pagani’s Grandi Complicazioni division, which handles highly customized projects.

Engine and Performance Details

The Pagani Huayra Codalunga is powered by a 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged V12 engine developed by Mercedes-AMG.

It produces:

• Around 840 horsepower
• 1100 Nm of torque

Buyers can choose between a 7-speed automated manual transmission or a pure 7-speed manual gearbox. This is rare in today’s hypercar segment where most cars come only with automatic systems.

The car also features:

• Lightweight carbon-titanium body
• Titanium exhaust system
• Active aerodynamics
• Specially tuned suspension for road comfort

Even though performance numbers are impressive, Pagani focused more on driving feel and design balance in this model.

Limited Production and Price

The Pagani Huayra Codalunga is extremely rare.

Only 5 units of this car were produced globally. Each unit was fully customized according to the buyer’s preference.

The starting price of the car was reported to be around €7 million (over ₹60 crore) before taxes and customization. Due to its rarity, the resale value may increase significantly in the future.

Why It Matters for India

India’s luxury car market is growing rapidly. High-net-worth individuals in cities like Mumbai, Delhi, and Hyderabad are increasingly investing in rare and limited-edition hypercars.

Although there is no official confirmation that the Pagani Huayra Codalunga will be delivered to any Indian buyer, interest in such ultra-luxury vehicles is increasing in the country. In recent years, India has seen imports of brands like Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Rolls-Royce in special editions.

Cars like the Codalunga show how the global automobile industry is moving towards exclusivity and craftsmanship rather than just speed.

What Happens Next?

Pagani is expected to continue producing ultra-limited models through its special division. With growing demand for unique collector vehicles, more one-off or small-batch hypercars may be launched in the coming years.

For Indian luxury car enthusiasts, such launches highlight future trends in the high-end automobile segment.
