According to a recent report by THESUPERCARBLOG.COM, Mexican supercar collector @don_huayra has landed a Pagani Huayra R Evo. This one never sees a Mexico City boulevard. It exists for the circuit, and its Petronas livery makes that intention clear.

Pagani Huayra R Evo Track Pedigree
This is not a dressed-up showroom car. Its 900 hp V12-R engine develops peak torque across a broad 5800 to 8200 rpm band, which makes throttle modulation on corner exit feel visceral. Fresh off acquiring the one-off Bugatti Chiron Vivere by Mansory, this owner clearly prefers lap times to lounge chairs.
| ⚙️Engine / Powertrain | 6.0L Twin-Turbo V12-R |
| 🐎Power Output | 900 HP @ 8750 rpm |
| ⚡Peak Torque | 568 lb-ft (770 Nm) @ 5800-8200 rpm |
| ⏱️0-60 mph (0-100 km/h) | 0-60 mph in 2.5s (est.) |
| 🚀Top Speed | 220 mph (354 km/h) (est.) |
| 🔄Drivetrain / Gearbox | 6-Speed Sequential / RWD |
| 💰Starting Price / Est. | $3.5 million (est.) |
Aero Grip Through the Stretched Tail
The Pagani Huayra R Evo stretches its tail by 190 mm over the standard R. Claimed downforce rises 45%, while aero efficiency improves by 21%. Through fast sweepers, that should mean biting rear grip and chassis composure over mid-corner kerbs.
Six Speeds and Zero Compromise
Still, the real magic lives in the gearbox. A 6-speed sequential unit, mated through a racing clutch, delivers the kind of mechanical symphony that paddle-shifted modern hypercars often mute. Pagani is a brand that builds its cars around driver connection, and this example honours that philosophy.
Ultimately, the Petronas livery is a nice nod to F1, but the engineering is the headline. The road-legal Huayra L’Ultimo wore the same paint, yet this track-only machine is the purer expression. Expect the estimated $3.5 million price to climb, because collectors rarely let analog hypercars like this depreciate.
Auto News Magazine readers will recognise the formula. Strip the weight, sharpen the aero, and keep the driver in the loop. This Huayra does exactly that, and it is a joy to imagine it on track.
