PAGANI AUTOMOBILI CELEBRATES ITS FIRST 25 YEARS IN THE MIDDLE EAST

18 Dec 2023

Today, the celebrations for the 25th anniversary of Pagani Automobili are happening at the prestigious Bulgari Resort in Dubai. The event is attended by numerous clients and renowned figures from both local and international press.

The event marks another step in Pagani's 25th Anniversary celebration journey, which has seen a succession of international events dedicated to the people who have believed in Horacio Pagani's project from the beginning: customers, colleagues, collaborators and enthusiasts. The Dubai event, specifically, is dedicated to customers and partners in the Middle East and Africa areas.

Horacio Pagani has not only dreamed and built some of the most beautiful Hypercars in the world, but he has also turned the company into a creative Atelier where a community of people recognize themselves, share actions and thoughts, deal with the great complications of mechanics, handle beauty, always guided by creative inspiration.

The Utopia's MEA debut

Leading the way is the Utopia, the car that marks the beginning of the third chapter in the brand's history, making its debut in the Middle East and Africa region. The new Hypercar features a simple and timeless design that embodies a visionary and counter-trend automotive concept. Drawing inspiration from the purest Leonardo da Vinci principle of Art and Science, the aim is to create an object that seamlessly combines refined aesthetic appeal with cutting-edge technology. With only 99 specimens produced, the first series of Utopia Coupé has already been allocated to a select circle of enthusiasts.

Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 2006, the Zonda F Roadster shares all the finishes and equipment with its coupé sibling, making it a real alternative for the potential customer. By adopting new triaxial carbon fiber fabrics, the chassis has been redesigned and the weight of the coupé has been kept the same (1,230 kg). The result is a highly efficient aerodynamic car that set a time of 7 '29 on the Nürburgring track.

Produced only in the Clubsport version, since this set-up turned out to be far more popular than the original, thanks also to the engine's increased power output to 650 HP, the Roadster F features a Brembo braking system, with 38 cm diameter carbon-ceramic self-ventilating discs, both front and rear and aluminum and magnesium alloy wheels, designed by Pagani and made by APP-Tech, 19 inches high in front and 20 inches in the rear. Finally, it should be mentioned that Roadster F was a commercial success, to the extent that the chassis available for production soon sold out.

Next to the Zonda F Roadster is the Huayra Roadster. Described by Horacio Pagani as the «most complicated project», it is a car almost entirely on view, with every component, every mechanical part proudly displayed. Unveiled at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show, it is the first-ever Roadster to be lighter than the Coupé version. Such a goal was achieved thanks to the complete overhaul of all components and the development of new advanced composite formulas, including Carbo-Triax HP52 combined with Carbo-Titanium which allowed the team to reduce the car's weight by 80 kg compared to the previous coupé and achieve a 52% increase in rigidity. It took six years of hard work to fully develop it, paying attention to every detail. The final result is an open-top car produced in 100 units according to the most authentic Pagani philosophy.

2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1: The Fastest, Most Powerful Corvette Ever

Chevrolet has unleashed the unthinkable in the Corvette ZR1. The King of the Hill returns with the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer, mind-bending specs, and iconic design to challenge the world’s best supercars in both coupe and convertible variants.

• Corvette ZR1 features a 5.5L, twin-turbocharged DOHC flat-plane crank V8 engine dubbed the LT7.

• The LT7 engine produces 1,064 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 828 lb-ft (1123 Nm) of torque at 6,000 rpm, per SAE guidelines — the most power ever from a factory Corvette and the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer.

• Corvette ZR1 boasts a GM-estimated top speed of over 215 mph (346 Kph) on the racetrack and will dispatch the quarter mile with a GM-estimated sub-10-second time1.

• Purposeful carbon fiber aero package creates over 1,200 pounds (544 Kg) of downforce at top speed.

• ZR1 revives one of the most iconic styles in Corvette history: the split rear window.

“The team that revolutionized Corvette with a mid-engine architecture took on another challenge: take ZR1 to the next level,” said Scott Bell, vice president, Chevrolet. “Corvette ZR1 is about pushing the envelope with raw power and cutting-edge innovation. From Stingray, to Z06, E-Ray, and now ZR1, the Corvette family continues to elevate with each new iteration — and challenge the best in the world.”

The Street-Legal Red Bull RB17 Hypercar

The automotive world is abuzz with the announcement that Lanzante, the renowned vehicle specialist known for transforming track-focused machines into road-going marvels, is set to convert the Red Bull RB17 hypercar into a street-legal version. This ambitious project aims to bring Adrian Newey’s V-10 beast from the racetrack to the public roads, and while the challenge is daunting, Lanzante's track record suggests they are up for it. The Red Bull RB17, designed by the legendary Adrian Newey, is a testament to cutting-edge engineering and performance. The track-only version of the hypercar weighs a mere 1,984 pounds, making it lighter than a Mazda MX-5 Miata ND. Yet, despite its featherweight design, it boasts a staggering 1,200 horsepower. This immense power allows it to lap Silverstone a second quicker than a Formula 1 car, according to recent simulations.
