Pagani has revealed the Huayra 70 Anima, a one-off car that combines a twin-turbo V12 engine, a seven-speed manual gearbox and paint infused with diamond dust. The reveal was reported on November 3 by Autotrader New Zealand.
The final birthday car
The Anima is the last of a trio of special cars created to mark Horacio Pagani's 70th birthday. The report notes that Pagani turns 71 on November 10, just days after the unveiling, so the birthday celebrations have lasted well beyond the actual date. The car was unveiled by Horacio Pagani himself.
Why a Huayra now?
It arrives four years after Pagani introduced the Utopia as the successor to the Huayra. The report observes that there is clearly still room for another bespoke commission based on the older car, particularly one that pairs a V12 with a manual gearbox, a combination that is increasingly rare in the supercar world.
What we know and do not know
The excerpt reviewed confirms the engine type, the seven-speed manual transmission and the diamond-dust paint, but it does not give power output, the identity of the buyer or the price. As a one-off commission, the Anima will not be sold to the public, and its value will depend on the customer's arrangement with the company.
For fans of analogue driving, the Anima is a reminder that small manufacturers can still build highly personal cars with traditional mechanical features.
