Pagani Huayra Codalunga: The Long Tail

“Codalunga” means Long Tail in Italian. Created by Pagani’s “Grandi Complicazioni” (Grand Complications) division, it was commissioned by two clients who wanted a streamlined version of the Huayra inspired by 1960s Le Mans racers (like the Porsche 917 LH).

Only 5 units were built.

Design: Removing the Mesh

The standard Huayra has lots of grilles and vents. The Codalunga removes them.

• The Rear: The engine cover extends 360mm longer than the standard car.
• The Exhaust: The iconic quad-exhaust is exposed, with no grille covering the ceramic-coated pipes. It weighs just 4.4 kg.
• Paint: All launch cars were painted in matte/satin finishes to highlight the curves.

The Engine

It uses the uprated V12 from the Huayra Imola.

• Power: 840 hp.
• Torque: 1,100 Nm.

Value

The price was €7 million. All were sold before the public saw the car. It is Pagani’s take on the “Coachbuilding” trend (like the McLaren Speedtail).
