Pagani’s special projects rarely aim for understatement, and the Huayra 70 Derecho is no exception.
Created as the second of three Huayra 70 commissions celebrating Horacio Pagani’s 70th birthday, this one-off hypercar puts colour, craft and a manual V12 powertrain at the centre of the story.
Its public debut is set for the Goodwood Festival of Speed, a fitting stage for a car built as much around sensation as numbers.
At a glance
- Pagani has revealed the Huayra 70 Derecho, the second of three Huayra 70 one-offs created for Horacio Pagani’s 70th birthday.
- The car combines a bespoke Pearl Orange and Blue exterior with an 864 hp 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 and a 7-speed manual gearbox.
- It will make its public debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, with no pricing or production availability beyond its one-off status announced.
A birthday commission with serious theatre
The Huayra 70 Derecho comes from Pagani’s Grandi Complicazione division, the in-house atelier responsible for highly individual commissions and low-volume special projects.
That context matters because this isn’t simply a new paint scheme on a familiar car.
It’s part of a three-car celebration tied directly to the founder’s milestone birthday, which gives the project a more personal character than a conventional limited edition.
The Derecho name also suits the visual energy of the car, with its vivid Pearl Orange and Blue livery giving the Huayra’s already dramatic shape a sharper sense of motion.
Pearl Orange, Blue and a tailored cabin
Pagani has fitted the car with custom Huayra 70 Titanium wheels, adding another specific detail to separate it from other Huayra-based commissions.
The exterior colour pairing is bold without feeling random, using Pearl Orange as the key visual signature against the Blue finish.
Inside, the cabin shifts to Ceramic White and Tricolore Blue leather, finished with contrast stitching.
The Pearl Orange accents continue in the cockpit, appearing on the 12 o’clock steering wheel marker and the gear knob.
That detail is small but telling, because the gear knob is one of the most important touchpoints in this car.
The manual gearbox is the real headline
The Huayra 70 Derecho is powered by a 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 producing 864 hp at 6,000 rpm and 811 lb-ft of torque from 2,800 to 5,900 rpm.
Those figures are formidable, but the transmission choice gives the car its strongest identity.
Pagani has paired the V12 with a 7-speed manual gearbox, sending drive to the rear axle through an electromechanical self-locking differential.
In a segment increasingly dominated by instant-shifting automated transmissions, a manual Huayra with this output is a deliberate appeal to involvement rather than outright ease.
The car’s top speed is electronically limited to 217 mph.
Goodwood is the right stage
The Goodwood Festival of Speed has become one of the few events where extreme modern hypercars can be presented with the kind of atmosphere they deserve.
For Pagani, the venue offers more than visibility.
It places the Huayra 70 Derecho in front of an audience that understands the difference between a specification-led special and a genuinely personal commission.
For collectors, the appeal is obvious, but the car should also resonate with anyone who still values mechanical interaction in the upper reaches of performance car design.
