The Pagani Huayra first went into production in 2011, succeeding the Italian manufacturer’s iconic Zonda. With its breathtaking design and superb performance, it’s one of the most desirable exotics in the world, and maybe that’s why Pagani can’t seem to consign it to permanent retirement. The automaker has just revealed the Huayra 70 “Trionfo”, which serves as a tribute to Horacio Pagani’s 70th anniversary. Limited to a mere three examples, the Trionfo is a spectacular homage to the manufacturer’s founder.
Only Doors and Window Frames Retained
Pagani Huayra 70 Trionfo Pagani
This is more than a Huayra with a unique specification. Pagani says that nothing but the doors and window frames have been carried over from the standard car. But many of the normal Huayra’s most eye-catching details are still there, including the graceful stalks for the exterior rearview mirrors and the high-mounted quad-exit exhaust system.
There are newly shaped headlights that appear to be inspired by those on the Pagani Codalunga, though, along with vertical daytime running lights. At the back, Pagani has redesigned the bumper, extractor, and diffuser frame. Anodized aluminum has been used in parts, continuing a long tradition of high-end materials being used by Pagani; the original Huayra got a lot of attention for its ‘carbon triax’, claimed to be even stronger than normal carbon fiber.
A green body with orange accenting was chosen for the Trionfo, which strikingly brings the car’s impactful lines to life.

834 HP and Seven-Speed Manual
Powering this ultra-exclusive Pagani is an AMG-sourced 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V12 producing 834 horsepower, as confirmed in an Instagram post by Barchetta Collection—that’s even more than the 791 hp produced by the Huayra Roadster BC. This particular Trionfo is headed to its new owner in Cincinnati, who also shared a picture of the shift knob, confirming it’s a seven-speed manual. The gated shifter and the few other bits of the interior we can see are as gorgeously detailed as we’ve come to expect from Pagani.
While we fully expect the Trionfo to spend more time parked than driving, one can only imagine what an experience it must be to row your own gears in an exotic with an 834-hp V12. It’s simply not the sort of powertrain anyone’s making anymore, beyond limited-run projects like Aston Martin’s Valour.
The Last Huayra Ever? Maybe, Yes, Probably
We keep thinking the Huayra is done, but Pagani keeps surprising us with another one. In 2024, the one-off Huayra Epitome arrived with a V12 and seven-speed manual, just like the new Trionfo; in fact, the Epitome became the first Huayra ever to get a manual. Then, last year, the Huayra Codalunga Speedster arrived, with Pagani only planning 10 of these open-top beauties.
The foundation of the Huayra—from its design to its engineering—is still as alluring as ever today, leaving the door open for many more one-offs and limited editions, even though the car has officially been succeeded by the Utopia. It doesn’t hurt that there’s always someone willing to pay millions to own one of these exclusive sports cars.
The 70 Trionfo would be a fitting farewell to a legendary car, but something tells us it’s not the last we’ll see of the Huayra.
