If you've always wanted a car that looks like jeans after a concert but costs like a private island, read on - the Pagani Utopia Coyote Coupe is for you.
Under the hood Pagani Utopia Coyote Coupe, or "Coyote" still roars 6-liter Mercedes-AMG The M158 V12 with twin turbines develops 635 kW (864 hp) and oily 1,100 Nm (811 lb-ft) torque. Sprint to a hundred in hipster-fast 3.1 seconds, but the wind will blow you away only with electronically controlled 350 km/h (217 mph)All this in a carbotitanium shell that weighs barely dry 1,280 kg – about as much as a well-stocked beer cooler.
“Race-worn” as the most expensive pair of ripped jeans
The owner whispered to Horacio Pagani that he wanted a car that looked like it had just emerged from the agony of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The result? A Martini-inspired strip of red, blue and turquoise, peeking out from under real "battle scars" – on the front splitter, fenders and bumper, the paint gives way to bare carbon skin. No cheap stickers, just authentic exposed carbon to prove to the neighbors that you're a racer even when you're standing in front of a café.
Cabin: Martini lounge on wheels
The interior features the same color palette, enhanced with graphics reminiscent of the legendary 935 from the 1970s. The aluminum switches are machined with Swiss watchmaking precision and engage the seven-speed manual Xtrac transmission with the sound of a pistol lock. The steering wheel? A round piece of art that you'd be happy to hang in your living room if it weren't already attached to something that costs more than the average block.
Limited edition, unlimited ego
Series Utopia was already basically limited to a few 99 compartments – all sold out before you could even say it “Bologna” “Coyote” is a unique specimen, so the price is purely hypothetical, but the base price for a classic Utopia starts around $3.4 million (without any change for the DMV). It should be added that the owners of these Paganis have usually already donated both kidneys – but only as a deposit for Mr. Horacio's next project.
Driving experience (according to rumors from Modena)
With the keys hanging in the vault of the owner's sailboat, we have to rely on Pagani's test team. They say that despite the extra "scratches", the Coyote cuts through the air like an eagle's feather: 46/54 weight distribution, active aerodynamics and an analog steering wheel without electronic dampers mean there's no room for half-measures here. This is a machine that will reward you with a raspy tenor vocal above 4,000 rpm, but punish every millimeter of deviation in turn-in.
Technology without the “e” prefix
At a time when lawn mowers are also getting hybrid drives, Pagans remaining a purist: no battery packs, just raw, fuel-burning drama. Horacio says that electricity still smells of the laboratory, while gasoline smells of emotions – and good old Castrol R, to be precise.
Conclusion: Pagani Utopia Coyote Coupe
Pagans of Utopia Coyote Coupe is proof that perfection is sometimes more beautiful when it's a little battered. Like an old couple Doc Martens The shoe bears the scars of a story – in this case, a contrived one, but an impressive one nonetheless. Although it costs as much as a mid-sized hotel on the Adriatic and uses the fuel of a weekend charter fleet, it offers something you don’t get from the sterile electric rockets of Silicon Valley: soulIn a world where cars are becoming consumer electronics, Coyotes it proves that it can still smell like oil, scream at 6,000 rpm and reward you with acceleration that moves your brain to the back seat – which of course it doesn't have. And that's exactly why we want it.
