One of the automotive world's most exclusive hypercars, the 2022 Pagani Huayra R, is set to make history as the first example ever to be publicly offered at auction via RM Sotheby's — specifically, chassis 005, one of only 30 customer-spec track-only examples.
At the heart of the Huayra R lies a naturally aspirated 6L V12 engine, crafted by HWA AG. Revving up to 9,000 rpm and delivering 850 hp through a six-speed sequential gearbox, the powerplant embodies the raw spirit of motorsport. With a dry weight of just 2,314 lbs thanks to its carbon-titanium construction, the Huayra R delivers incredible performance and agility on the track.
This particular example, delivered to Denmark in 2021 via Formula Automobile, boasts a bespoke specification that added over $318,00 USD to its original list price. The exposed carbon fiber bodywork, enhanced with Bronzo Chiaro, Bianco Fabriano and Rosso Dubai accent stripes, complements forged 19-inch Bronzo Chiaro wheels and Brembo ceramic brakes with bronze calipers.
Inside, the cockpit continues the theme of bespoke craftsmanship with matte carbon fiber finishes, anodized matte black aluminum components and dark grey Alcantara detailing. The Huayra R logo is proudly featured on the racing seat headrests, underscoring its track-focused design.
Displaying just 121 miles on the odometer and meticulously maintained, chassis 005 comes with an extensive factory spares package, including additional wheels and tires. Bidding is set to begin on February 4 as part of its upcoming Paris Sale.
