Soak up all the glorious details of Pagani's latest hypercar

As much cars as they are rolling works of art, Pagani models rarely fail to blow us away. The new Huayra Codalunga Speedster is no exception. Following on from the standard Huayra Codalunga, this one is an open-top version that further amps up the drama. Inspired by racing cars from the 1950s and 1960s, the new Speedster is a visual knockout, and if its design fails to move you, its 852-horsepower V12 should do the job.

As with the coupe, the Huayra Codalunga Speedster features many stunning exterior details, from the artfully embedded headlights to the dainty stalks for the rearview mirrors. Of course, the new roof most distinguishes this car from the coupe. This new hard top roof has a transparent section made of polycarbonate.

From the side, one can appreciate how seamlessly the roof blends in with the body. The lower shut line rises towards the rear, guiding the eye along the streamlined body.

Monolithic Avional wheels measure 20 inches in front and 21 inches at the back. The rear wheels alone are tasked with transmitting all 852 horses and 811 lb-ft of torque to the road. No acceleration claims are made, but the Speedster is capable of topping out at 217 mph, making it one of the fastest cars in the world.

This has to be one of the most beautiful cars from above. The interior center section merges gently into the rear exterior, leading all the way to the exhaust system.

Speaking of exhaust systems, the Pagani has no less than six tailpipes - or twice the number you'd find on a GR Corolla. The upper four pipes are ceramic-coated, while the pair at the bottom are titanium items.

The car's long tail is evident from this angle, gently sloping down from the roll bar.

Pagani interiors are the polar opposite of modern cabin design, which have come to rely too heavily on lighting and screen real estate; switch everything off, and most cars have stark interiors devoid of personality and richness. The Speedster couldn't be more different. Bejeweled details are everywhere, materials are astounding, and the tech that is there is never allowed to overwhelm the sense of occasion.

Pagani says the steering wheel and gear knob are inspired by classic racing. Between the mahogany inserts and aluminum rivets, both elements are stunning. The seven-speed Xtrac gearbox features both pure manual and automated manual versions, by the way. Like the Pagani Utopia Roadster, this is a rare manual transmission car with a V12.

A special fabric on the seats has an embroidered element with over 450,000 individual stitches, and these are all completed by hand.

No digital gauge cluster could hope to match the spectacle of the Huayra Codalunga's analog dials. They have a color scheme that matches the cabin.

Semi-matte finishes and tones that capture the feel of the 1960s permeate throughout the Pagani's dazzling interior. The exposed gearbox mechanism is a work of art on its own, as are the toggle switches in the center stack.
