Pagani Reveals One-Off Huayra 70 Anima With Manual V12

Pagani has completed its Huayra 70 trilogy by unveiling the one-off Huayra 70 Anima at the Concours at Wynn Las Vegas, bringing together all three vehicles from the founder’s birthday series for their first joint public appearance, as reported by Yahoo Autos. The bespoke open-top hypercar is a one-off commission built by Pagani’s Grandi Complicazioni division and is not available for public sale, according to Manofmany.

The newly unveiled Anima serves as the final bookend to a three-vehicle series commissioned to mark Horacio Pagani’s 70th birthday, arriving just ten days before his 71st birthday on November 10, according to AutoNext.co. The trilogy began with the one-off Trionfo, which was revealed at the Pagani factory as a commission for the Barchetta Collection bound for Cincinnati, Ohio, followed by the Huayra 70 Derecho, which debuted at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July 2026, as detailed by Motor1.com. All three cars stood side by side for the first time at the Las Vegas event alongside approximately 40 other Pagani models, running from October 29 to November 1, 2026.

Exterior Craftsmanship and Diamond-Dust Paint

Visually described by Autoblog as the most extreme of the three birthday models, the Anima features exposed carbon fiber finished in a dual-tone clear coat that combines Custom Metallic Light Blue and Custom Inky Blue. Most notably, the exterior incorporates diamond-dust-infused paint in place of traditional metallic aluminum flakes, complemented by hand-applied platinum leaf stripes and diamond-cut wheels with Inky Blue and Las Vegas Blue rims.

The roadster body style features a low nose, gaping front air intakes, a splitter, a tall intake and fin behind the cockpit, individual roll hoops, a fixed rear wing, a large rear diffuser, and a bespoke six-pipe exhaust system finished in white ceramic. Inside, the cabin pairs a blue-and-white two-tone color scheme with white leather upholstery, Loro Piana fabric, and graphics inspired by the flags of Argentina and Las Vegas, alongside exposed machined aluminum switchgear and a plaque bearing Horacio Pagani’s signature designating the car as three-of-three in the collection.

Powertrain and Manual Transmission

Following the precedent set by the 2024 Huayra Epitome and carried across all Huayra 70 models, the Anima pairs a Mercedes-AMG-supplied twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V12 engine with a transverse seven-speed manual transmission developed in collaboration with British motorsport engineering firm Xtrac. The layout features an exposed open-gate linkage mechanism on the center console alongside three pedals, maintaining a direct mechanical connection between the driver and the rear wheels via an electromechanical limited-slip differential.

While sibling models in the Huayra 70 series are associated with an output of 864 horsepower and 811 pound-feet of torque, Pagani did not publish an official power figure or disclose pricing for the bespoke Anima commission. The vehicle made its world debut on October 31, 2026, at the Las Vegas concours, and AutoNext.co notes that its first European appearance is expected to take place at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July 2027.
