The strategic collaboration between Pagani and HWA AG remains the cornerstone of the Huayra R Evo project, by giving life to the upgraded and enhanced V12-R Evo engine, unleashing all the potential of the new track Hypercar. Equipped with the most modern technology derived from the racing world, the new engine delivers 900 hp (662 kW) at 8,750 rpm with a maximum torque of 770 Nm, which is directly available from 5,800 to 8,2000 rpm.
The Huayra R Evo offers great track performance with a redline at 9,200 rpm. HWA AG and Pagani engineers did not solely focus on increasing power; they also intervened in other crucial components, such as the intake manifold. It has been optimized with a new trumpet design and new camshafts to enhance the delicate aspiration process. The team also worked on both the precise calibration of the control unit and the design of the exhaust system to enhance performance and deliver a distinctive sound.
Throughout the refinement process, each element was meticulously crafted with care and passion to endow this vehicle with extraordinary power. The six-speed sequential gearbox was designed in collaboration with HWA AG and dedicated only to the Huayra track lineage. Driven by a 3 sintered metal disc racing clutch, the non-synchronized dog ring gearbox guarantees a 95% friction efficiency, offering the greatest shift precision, extremely reduced shifting times, and weighing just 80 kg (176 lb). Securely attached to the monocoque as well as the engine, it contributes to the overall rigidity of the chassis and withstands heavy dynamic loads.
The complete transmission system is designed to integrate structurally with the entire suspension unit through dedicated attachment points to maximize the architectural efficiency of the car. Every line and surface of the new Hypercar has been designed to generate the greatest aerodynamic load; at 320 km/h (199 mph), in a lowered setup, the vehicle generates a greater vertical aerodynamic load than its total weight in running order. ■
