San Cesario sul Panaro, August 7th, 2024 — Pagani Automobili is pleased to announce its participation in the “Monterey Car Week”, an annual celebration of automotive excellence taking place from August 9th to 18th in California. On August 16th, the Pagani Utopia Roadster will be officially debuted to top collectors and enthusiasts at the exclusive event, “The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering.”

The first public display of the Pagani Utopia Roadster

On August 16th, Pagani will showcase a selection of its Hypercars at “The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering”, an outstanding and exclusive experience for motorsport enthusiasts and collectors. This event, held annually on the lawns of the Quail Lodge & Golf Club, has brought together enthusiasts and connoisseurs worldwide for over twenty years, presenting a collection of cars of remarkable rarity and exceptional value.

At “The Quail”, the Utopia Roadster – the latest creation from the San Cesario Atelier – will be revealed to the public for the first time. This Hypercar represents the pinnacle of a continuous quest that merges sophisticated technology with timeless design. Lightweight, dynamic, and high-performing, it is designed in continuity with the Coupé version while introducing distinctive elements. Featuring a seamlessly integrated hard-top, it offers the flexibility of an open or closed driving experience, while maintaining the same weight as its counterpart. This vehicle celebrates the timeless allure of mechanical purity, from the Pagani V12 engine, devoid of hybrid support, to avant-garde design elements such as the gearbox and pedal system, where every mechanism is visible and meticulously crafted. It embodies Pagani’s most advanced technology, resulting from sophisticated aerodynamic studies and the integration of over forty composite material formulas.

The Pagani Utopia Roadster brings innovative technologies to the road, such as the Pirelli Cyber™ Tyre sensor system, which allows the tires to communicate with the vehicle improving its safety. Each of the 130 Utopia Roadsters will be unique, thanks to the extensive range of available customizations, allowing each Hypercar to tell the story of its owner.  

The showcased Hypercars and the Pagani stand’s new features

Pagani’s exhibition area will feature a selection of Pagani Roadsters, showcasing the brand’s evolution, including the Zonda Arrivederci, the Huayra Roadster, the Huayra Roadster BC and the Imola Roadster. Horacio Pagani, Founder and Chief Designer of Pagani Automobili, will also attend the event, available to meet with customers and enthusiasts.

The Zonda chassis number 140, the final original example of a road-going Zonda aptly named “Arrivederci”, will be revealed to the public for the first time. Arrivederci – which means “farewell” in Italian – celebrates the culmination of an era. This unique open-top Hypercar features an ultra-deep Blu Danubio livery, hand-painted over a bespoke body made from Alutex, a composite material used exclusively by Pagani for this car. Blue and red stripes enrich the exterior configuration, emphasizing the main lines of the bodywork. The interior is saddled with candy red leather, the same as the Huayra “La Monza Lisa”, which shares the same owner. The accompanying luggage set is also finished in this fine leather. The Zonda Arrivederci is further distinguished by a set of custom-designed rims inspired by those from the Zonda S.

The Huayra Roadster is a car on which every mechanical component is proudly displayed, celebrating the attention to every single detail. «Everything had to be unique, like a car carved from a block of Carrara marble». This is how Horacio Pagani describes this model, an open-air homage to the God of Wind. The entire project holds a special place in the hearts of the entire Pagani team, as it represents the first instance of a roadster being lighter than its coupé counterpart. An achievement that took nearly six years of development, thanks to a complete redesign of all components and the creation of new advanced composite materials, such as Carbo-Triax HP52 combined with Carbo-Titanium.

Pagani Hypercars on parade to “Exotics On Broadway,” with Horacio Pagani in attendance

On August 17th, a parade of Pagani Hypercars will drive through the hills of Monterey to the highly anticipated “Exotics On Broadway” event, which will be held from 1 to 6 p.m. Since its launch in 2015, this free event has grown steadily, and this year it is expected to attract over 40,000 spectators eager to see some of the world’s rarest and most exciting supercars, hypercars, and exotic cars. Hosted in Seaside, the event has become a focal point for enthusiasts, collectors, and fans, offering the opportunity to meet the owners and manufacturers of the displayed cars, who share their stories and features. For the first time, the new Utopia Roadster will be showcased at a freely accessible event. Horacio Pagani will attend the event, participating in a question-and-answer session on the main stage at Alhambra Street. Afterward, he will meet fans and enthusiasts at the Pagani Store.
