Pagani’s latest one-off is as much a personal statement as it is a hypercar.
Unveiled by Horacio Pagani at the Wynn Concours, the Huayra 70 Anima marks the founder’s 70th birthday with a build that leans into theatre, craft and old-school driver engagement.
It’s also the third and final car from Pagani’s Grandi Complicazioni division, which gives this particular Huayra a clear place in the marque’s recent run of highly specialised commissions.

A Grandi Complicazioni finale with personal weight
The Huayra 70 Anima is a one-off rather than a series-production variant, and that matters in Pagani terms.
The company’s Grandi Complicazioni division exists for particularly elaborate special projects, and this car closes a trio created around Horacio Pagani’s milestone birthday.
The name adds another layer to the brief, with “Anima” translating to “soul” in Italian.
That may sound sentimental, but the car’s specification backs it up with details aimed squarely at collectors who value handwork and mechanical connection as much as headline performance.
Exposed carbon, diamond dust and a platinum-leaf stripe
The bodywork uses exposed carbon with a combination of Custom Metallic and Inky Blue finishes.
Pagani has also worked diamond dust into the paint and added a hand-decorated platinum-leaf stripe, giving the surface treatment a level of material theatre that feels very much in character for the brand.
The aero package is equally extrovert.
A deep front splitter, extended side skirts, individual roll hoops and a large fixed rear wing give the Huayra 70 Anima a far more assertive stance than a standard grand touring brief would require.
At the rear, the bespoke white ceramic exhaust is impossible to ignore, with six outlets turning a functional element into one of the car’s defining visual signatures.
The manual gearbox is the emotional centre
The cabin continues the exterior’s blue-and-white theme, pairing white upholstery with blue accents and machined metal details.
The real focal point, however, sits between the seats.
Pagani has fitted the Huayra 70 Anima with three pedals and a seven-speed manual gearbox with exposed linkage, a configuration that immediately changes the car’s character.
In a segment often shaped by shift times and automation, the presence of a manual gate gives this one-off a more tactile, involved brief.
Pagani hasn’t confirmed the car’s power output.
The Huayra 70 Anima is expected to use the Mercedes-AMG 6.0-litre twin-turbo V12, an engine associated with recent Huayra specials, while the Derecho is said to produce 864 hp from that unit.
