Pagani Automobili revealed the new hypercar made exclusively for use on the track, Pagani V12-R. Pagani V12-R hypercar starting price is EUR 2.6 million. The Pagani V12-R – the beating heart of the Huayra R – is a 12-cylinder, 6-liter, naturally aspirated racing engine, designed from the ground up in partnership with HWA AG. The new powertrain delivers 850 hp (625 kW) at 8250 rpm and maximum torque of 750 Nm.
Attached to the central monocoque, with which it forms a structural element capable of supporting the transmission system and the chrome-molybdenum alloy steel subframes, the new engine has the service cycles every 10,000 km. The components created for the Huayra R include the brand new six-speed sequential gearbox which has been designed, along with the Huayra R’s engine, in collaboration with HWA AG to complete a tailor-made powertrain. Driven by a 3 sintered metal disc racing clutch, the company said the new non synchronized dog ring gearbox guarantees 95% friction efficiency, offers maximum shift precision, reduced shift times and a total weight of 80 kg (176 lb).
Made from Inconel 625/718 alloy, with tubes one-third the thickness of those normally used in road car equipment, and coated in ceramic to protect the engine bay and ensure better heat dissipation directly to the outside. The car is also equipped with mufflers that can be fitted as required, ensuring that noise emissions are reduced to within the FIA limit of 110 decibels for noise restricted tracks.
Manufactured using the latest composite technologies developed by the Atelier, such as Carbo-Titanium HP62-G2 and Carbo-Triax HP62, the new monocoque incorporates the seats fully. The front frames, made of chrome-molybdenum alloy steel. The rear frame, in conjunction with the powertrain unit, forms an integrated structure with the monocoque, resulting in a 51% increase in flexural rigidity and 16% increase in torsional rigidity compared to the road version.
