Stunning design aside, the mechanical heart of any Pagani is arguably its party piece. And, in this case, Pagani’s collaboration with HWA AG (the company responsible for the V12 in the Apollo IE) yields an incredible result: the 6.0-liter V12-R Evo engine in the 2025 Pagani Huayra R Evo delivers 888 hp at 8,750 rpm and a maximum of 568 lb-ft of torque between 5,800 and 8,200 rpm – this is more horsepower, more torque, and higher rpm than the Huayra R. Redline is at 9,200 rpm.
To achieve these specs, the engine received an optimized intake manifold with a new design and a new camshaft. The exhaust system has been tuned to deliver a unique sound, and the naturally aspirated V12 will ‘sing’ as readily as its predecessor.
Power is channeled to the rear wheels via a six-speed sequential gearbox, which boasts reduced shift times and promises precise shifts. While no 0-60 times have been claimed, we’d wager the Huayra R Evo will get the job done in under three seconds – top speed is only achieved when the needle indicates 218 mh.
Pagani has also revised the suspension to improve stability and precision, courtesy of a new heave damper system. Braking has also been optimized with brand-new CCM-R self-ventilated carbon ceramic discs paired with bespoke brake pads. Improvements to the braking system by means of increased surface area result in improved durability.
