Pagani Huayra Successor Codenamed C10, Set to Debut in Twin-Turbo Form Next Year

Pagani is working on a successor of the Huayra, as you might expect. The replacement is reportedly called C10, and Horacio Pagani has recently confirmed that it will come with a twin-turbo engine, with no hybridization in sight. The latter two elements have been revealed in an interview published by Italian media.

As you might have noticed earlier this year, Pagani engineers were testing a mule of the Huayra's replacement. Horacio Pagani, the CEO, and founder of the marque told Italian journalists at Quattro Route (Italian, sub. req.) that he already drove the next generation hypercar that he prefers referring to as the C10 for now.

Pagani said that the C10 has been in the company's plans for some time now, with the first sketches drawn back in 2017. Purists need not worry, as the Italian marque will continue to focus on its most prized values, so the upcoming model will go through a serious diet before reaching the market.

It is unclear how much weight does Horacio Pagani wants to drop from the C10, but the end goal is to make use of the twin-turbo setup of the V12 that will provide around 30 to 40 horsepower more than the Huayra's.

The engine is set to be another Pagani-special, and the new engine will have to comply with even stricter emissions norms. According to the head of the marque, the company complies with standards from California and Taiwan, which are described to be the strictest in the world.

As usual, Mercedes-AMG will supply the powertrain, and it is claimed that Huayra's successor might even be offered with a manual transmission. Most customers will probably stick to the lightning-fast single-clutch automatic unit, though.

With that in mind, this might be the one of the last hypercars in the world to be offered with a three-pedal setup and a manual transmission. Collectors already know more than us about the C10, as Horacio Pagani claims that all planned units have already been spoken for.

North American dealers could have covered the entire production, but it appears that not all those who wanted the next-generation Pagani managed to snag a reservation.

The C10 will be offered in coupe and roadster form, along with special series models. In total, Mr. Pagani does not expect to make more than 300 units.
