Pagani Huayra R Examples Heads to Public Auction for First Time

by

As a die-hard car enthusiast with a penchant for rare and exhilarating machines, I can hardly contain my excitement over the upcoming auction of the 2022 Pagani Huayra R at RM Sotheby’s. With only 30 customer-spec track-only examples in existence, this is an opportunity that comes once in a lifetime!

The raw power and agility of this hypercar, with its naturally aspirated 6L V12 engine revving up to 9,000 rpm, is enough to make any petrolhead’s heart race. And the fact that chassis 005 boasts a bespoke specification, complete with carbon fiber bodywork, forged wheels, and Brembo ceramic brakes, makes it truly unique.

I remember my first encounter with a Pagani Huayra back in 2015 at the Geneva Motor Show. The design was striking, the engineering was impressive, and the sound of that V12 engine was simply intoxicating. To think that I could soon be the proud owner of one is nothing short of a dream come true!

Of course, with only 121 miles on the odometer and a meticulous maintenance history, this Huayra R is in pristine condition. And let’s not forget about that extensive factory spares package, including additional wheels and tires. I can already picture myself tearing up the track in this beauty!

In all seriousness, if you’re looking for a truly unique, high-performance car to add to your collection, this is the one. And who knows? Maybe one day we’ll be swapping stories about our Huayra R experiences at some exotic track event around the world. But for now, I’ll just have to wait patiently until bidding begins on February 4.

Oh, and as a final thought, I can’t help but wonder: how many laps do you think I could get out of a tank of gas in this thing? Let’s hope it’s more than my old VW Golf!

Among the world’s rarest hypercars, the 2022 Pagani Huayra R, is poised to create history as it becomes the first of its kind ever auctioned publicly through RM Sotheby’s – more specifically, chassis number 005, which is one of only 30 customer-tailored track-only models.

The core of the Huayra R is a naturally aspirated 6-liter V12 engine skillfully designed by HWA AG. Capable of reaching 9,000 revolutions per minute and generating 850 horsepower via a six-speed sequential transmission, this power source encapsulates the unbridled essence of racing. Weighing only 2,314 pounds due to its carbon-titanium build, the Huayra R offers exceptional speed and maneuverability on the track.

In 2021, this unique vehicle sent to Denmark came adorned with additional features that increased its initial price by approximately $318,000 USD. The sleek carbon fiber body was embellished with Bronzo Chiaro, Bianco Fabriano, and Rosso Dubai accent stripes. This design matched the 19-inch Bronzo Chiaro wheels and Brembo ceramic brakes featuring bronze calipers.

As a longtime car enthusiast with a particular appreciation for high-performance vehicles, I find the cockpit of the Huayra R to be nothing short of breathtaking. The bespoke craftsmanship is evident in every detail – from the matte carbon fiber finishes and anodized matte black aluminum components to the dark grey Alcantara detailing that adds a touch of elegance.

The Huayra R’s track-focused design is also apparent, with the racing seat headrests emblazoned with the Huayra R logo. As someone who has spent countless hours on the racetrack, I can appreciate the attention to detail and commitment to performance that went into creating this cockpit.

Overall, the Huayra R’s cockpit is a testament to the skill and expertise of its designers and craftspeople. It’s clear that every aspect of this vehicle was designed with the driver in mind, and I can’t wait to see it in action on the track.

With only 121 miles on it, and impeccably kept, Chassis 005 offers a comprehensive factory spare parts package that includes extra wheels and tires. The auction for this item will start on February 4 during the upcoming Paris Sale.
