Debuted online in January 2011 then revealed in the flesh two months later at the Geneva Motor Show, the Huayra is that kind of hypercar that oozes exclusivity and craftsmanship. Add to those the AMG-sourced performance, the fact that it looks like a million bucks, and that it has one of the most special interiors in the industry, and you’ll understand why the Huayra is up there with the best of them.
Even though it’s still one of the most potent exotics out there, every story has to come to an end. Seven years on, the 100th example of the breed left the assembly line in Modena. The 100th fixed-head coupe, that is, which is called L’Ultimo because Pagani has a thing for naming their most special of cars.

Inspired by the livery used by Mercedes-AMG in Formula 1, the turquoise accents of the Huayra L’Ultimo bring out the silver accents and exposed gloss carbon fiber when natural light hits the body shell of the car. Incorporating a Zonda Cinque-like roof scoop and various elements from the Huayra BC and Huayra Tempesta, this fellow here is a celebration of all that we love about Pagani.

Now that the coupe is a thing of the past, the Italian automaker will focus on the Huayra Roadster and one-off Zonda models. The Huayra BC Roadster is in the pipeline as well, having been caught testing in the wild on numerous occasions wearing black-and-white camouflage from head to toe.

After the open-top model finishes production, Pagani is set to replace the Huayra with a successor that could use the 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 with upgraded components. We’re not too sure on the means of propulsion, more so if you bear in mind the M158 can trace its roots back to the M275. That M275 from the early 2000s with an archaic configuration that includes three valves per cylinder and a single overhead camshaft.

There’s also talk of an electric hypercar, which Pagani is expected to launch by the year 2025.
