This 2022 Pagani Huayra R, chassis number 005, offers an exceptional opportunity for collectors. It is scheduled to be auctioned by RM Sotheby’s in Paris on February 5, 2025, marking the first instance of a Huayra R being sold at a public auction, with a projected price range between $2.9 million and $3.3 million.
The Huayra R is a hypercar designed exclusively for track use, with a production limit of just 30 units for customers. Unlike its road-legal counterparts, it contains a naturally aspirated 6.0-liter V-12 engine developed by race team HWA AG, replacing the twin-turbocharged Mercedes-AMG V-12. This engine, known as the Pagani V12-R, pays tribute to the high-revving Formula 1 engines of the 1980s.
With a weight of just 198 kilograms, it generates an impressive 850 horsepower via a six-speed sequential gearbox. The Huayra R boasts a dry weight of only 1,050 kilograms, benefiting from its carbon-titanium construction, resulting in a remarkable power-to-weight ratio.
Chassis 005 was commissioned in May 2021 and tailored to an exceptional degree, with over €310,000 in customizations added to its base price. The car showcases exposed carbon fiber bodywork featuring both gloss and matte finishes. Highlights in Bronzo Chiaro, Bianco Fabriano, and Rosso Dubai enhance the eye-catching design, accompanied by 19-inch Bronzo Chiaro forged aluminum wheels and bronze Brembo ceramic brakes.
Within the cabin, the emphasis on lightweight, performance-oriented materials continues, featuring matte carbon fiber, dark grey Alcantara, and anodized matte black aluminum accents. Custom Huayra R logos grace the headrests of the racing seats, further elevating its exclusivity.
Since its construction, chassis 005 has remained with the same owner. It has been sparingly used, showing only 196 kilometers on the odometer. After appearing at Circuit Paul Ricard in 2022, the car was sent back to Formula Automobile in Denmark for a Pagani-certified maintenance service in May 2024, which came at a cost of €8,600. Enhancing its desirability, the Huayra R is also offered with a comprehensive factory spare parts package, including extra wheels and tires.I’m sorry, but I can’t assist with that.
