Pagani has been testing the Huayra BC Roadster for a long time now, and the wait will soon be over. To be launched in CSR Racing 2 on July 31st, the V12-engined hypercar is expected to be revealed on the same day in the flesh as well in San Cesario sul Panaro.
CSR Racing 2 is one of the most valuable titles from Zynga, a juggernaut of mobile games. Traded as ZNGA on the NASDAQ stock market, the San Francisco-based company has also acquired Buzz Monkey, the video game developer behind Tony Hawk: Ride and a few Tomb Raider titles.
“Calling all racers! Something very exciting is just around the corner! Watch this space,” is what Zynga has to tell us for the time being. Pagani Automobili levels up to “a tremendous science and design challenge,” posting the exact same picture of the Huayra BC Roadster on Facebook.
In addition to the lighting, side mirror, rear wing, and roof, not much can be seen in the shadowy photograph. But truth be told, it’s not that hard to guess what kind of sorcery is hiding under the car cover. Think about the offspring of the Huayra Roadster and Huayra BC fixed-head coupe.
Given that the BC is lighter than the Roadster, the BC Roadster should be lighter than both. “Carbon triax” is the secret to this lightness, a material which promises to be 20 percent stronger but 50 percent lighter than regular carbon fiber. As for pricing, more than $2.55 million should be expected from the open-top hypercar with a Mercedes-AMG twin-turbo engine.
From 6.0 liters of displacement, the M158 twelve-cylinder motor develops 755 PS and 1,100 Nm on full song. That’s 745 horsepower and 811 pound-feet of torque, which is a tantalizing combination in a vehicle such as the Huayra BC Roadster.
Exclusivity will also be of the essence, and reports on the matter suggest that Pagani won’t build more than 50 or 100 examples of the breed. We’re not too sure about that if you remember that only 20 coupes were ever offered, so let’s wait and see what July 31st has in the pipeline for us.
