Pagani Teases New C10 Hypercar That Replaces The Huayra Ahead Of September Debut

Pagani today took to its social media outlets to confirm that its next vehicle, the much-anticipated C10, will be unveiled on September 12.

“Milan, 12 September 2022: the curtain rises on “C10”, a new chapter in the Pagani story,” the company wrote in a Facebook post today. “In a city beloved by Leonardo da Vinci, who, even today, inspires our work with his belief that Art and Science can walk hand in hand, we will unveil the next generation of Pagani Hypercars.”

In addition to the message, the company also shared a sketch of the C10 that was penned by Horacio Pagani, the company’s founder. Although it only revealed a limited amount about the car, it does show a familiar fighter jet-style canopy and powerful haunches.

We recently saw a prototype version of the car testing on public roads in Italy. Still under camouflage, the car certainly looks different than Huayra but there remains a familiar resemblance. At the back, it also has a quad tailpipe setup that has been seen in previous brand designs. Long, low, and wide, the car is every bit the mid-engine hypercar you might expect of the automaker.

The engine, Pagani has confirmed, will be a 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 supplied by AMG that will be mated to either a manual or an automatic transmission. Though powerful, Pagani has stopped itself from giving the engine any more than 888 hp (662 kW/900 PS), focusing instead on reducing weight, which has meant that this will feature no electric assistance.

Pagani is expected to start delivering the C10 to customers in 2023. A leaked document from the brand suggests that the reservation fee for a build slot was €300,000 ($316,215), though you’ll be lucky to get one even if you can scrounge up the cash because it is expected to make just 300 of these cars.
