Pagani's newest hypercar (2022+). Naturally aspirated AMG V12. Seven-speed manual standard. The most refined Pagani.

The Pagani Utopia is a hypercar produced from 2022. The Utopia is Pagani current halo car, replacing the Huayra after a 13-year run. The Mercedes-AMG naturally aspirated 6.0L V12 makes 852 horsepower. Manual transmission is standard (seven-speed manual with gated shifter); automated manual is optional. The Utopia is the most refined Pagani yet. Pagani decision to use naturally aspirated V12 was based on customer feedback that they wanted to preserve the experience of a non-turbocharged engine. The seven-speed manual was a deliberate choice in an era of dual-clutch hypercars. Production is extremely limited. Approximately 99 coupes will be produced. Pricing starts around $2.7 million. The Utopia represents the modern peak of Pagani artisanal construction. On WhipJury, Utopia submissions are essentially impossible but reliably top voting if they appear.

Mercedes-AMG 6.0L naturally aspirated V12, 852 horsepower at 6,000 rpm. Seven-speed manual transmission with gated shifter (or automated manual optional). Production: approximately 99 coupes total. Starting pricing: $2.7 million.

Frequently asked questions about Pagani Utopia

Why naturally aspirated in 2022?
Pagani decision based on customer feedback. Most modern hypercars use turbocharged or hybrid powertrains for efficiency and emissions. Pagani believed customers wanted to preserve the experience of a naturally aspirated V12. The Utopia represents Pagani commitment to the analog supercar experience even in the hybrid era.
How much does a Utopia cost?
New: starts around $2.7 million. Used Utopia pricing has not yet developed since the model is so new. Limited production (99 coupes total) supports values; clean examples are likely to appreciate similarly to Zonda and Huayra.
Is the Utopia reliable?
Too new for definitive long-term data. Initial production has been generally reliable. The Mercedes-AMG V12 is durable across multiple Pagani generations. Common issues are typical for hand-built hypercars.
Why manual transmission?
Pagani deliberate choice. Most modern hypercars use dual-clutch automatics for fastest shifts. Pagani chose seven-speed manual transmission with gated shifter to provide the analog experience that many enthusiasts prefer over fast automatic transmissions. The manual is part of the Utopia identity.
Will the Utopia be the last Pagani manual?
Uncertain. Pagani has not announced specific plans for future products. The combination of cost, complexity, and emerging electric powertrain trends may make subsequent Pagani products non-manual. The Utopia could be the brand last manual transmission hypercar.
