Pagani has just introduced a new, hyper-limited version of its Huayra supercar: the Tricolore. Built as a tribute to the Frecce Tricolori, the Italian Air Force’s aerobatic training group, it sports unique a unique bodywork configuration with no roof, an overhead intake scoop, and a red, white, and green color scheme. Just three will be made, each priced at the equivalent of about $6.7 million.
The Tricolore was released to celebrate the Frecce Tricolori’s 60th anniversary. If you’ve been following Pagani’s model releases closely, you’ll know the company built a Zonda Tricolore in 2010, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Italian Air Force’s aerobatic team. So this Huayra is essentially a follow-up to that car, 10 years in the making.
In addition to the funky no-roof-with-roof scoop body configuration, the Huayra Tricolore also gets a reworked interior inspired by the the cockpit of the Aermacchi MB-339A—the plane used by the Frecce Tricolori. All of the aluminum components are billet machined from aerospace grade material, while the seats get a two-tone splash of white and blue, paired with white, red, and green stripe inserts.
Under the skin, the Tricolore gets the Huayra drivetrain you’re familiar with, turned up to 11. The AMG-built twin-turbo V-12 is tuned to 840 horsepower—49 more than the Huayra BC—and 811 pound-feet of torque. Getting power to the rear wheels is the same seven-speed single-clutch sequential transmission, which Pagani claims is 35 percent lighter than an equivalent dual-clutch gearbox.
Despite the absurd price point, we don’t think Pagani will have trouble finding three buyers for the Huayra Tricolore—it is an ultralimited edition of an already special car, after all. We hope whoever buys these cars will drive them once in a while.
