Paris just witnessed automotive royalty. The one-off Pagani Huayra Codalunga Hermes made its public debut on October 25, creating the kind of stir that only happens when Italian engineering meets French luxury.
This isn’t just another Pagani. It’s the rarest of the rare.
When Pagani Meets Hermès
The Codalunga (“long tail”) already sits at the pinnacle of Pagani’s lineup. Limited to just five production units plus one prototype, it stretches 360mm longer than the standard Huayra coupe.
This Hermès collaboration takes exclusivity to another dimension.
Finished in distinctive teal with white accents, white wheels, and matching brake calipers, it screams bespoke craftsmanship. Inside, Hermès leather in black and green wraps every surface with the meticulous attention only a 187-year-old French luxury house could deliver.
The mechanical brutality remains untouched:
- 827 horsepower from the AMG-sourced 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V12
- 811 lb-ft of torque channeled through a 7-speed sequential gearbox
- Lengthened bodywork inspired by 1960s Le Mans racers
Seven Million Reasons to Stare
Base price for a “standard” Codalunga? A cool €7 million ($7.5 million). This Hermès edition undoubtedly commanded a significant premium.
The car represents one of only two Codalungas delivered to the UK. Created by Pagani’s “Grandi Complicazioni” coachbuilding division, it embodies the pinnacle of automotive artistry.
When Hypercar Meets Haute Couture
Pagani has always blurred the line between car and sculpture. The Codalunga takes this philosophy to its extreme, with flowing lines that make the standard Huayra look almost restrained.
The Hermès treatment adds another layer of exclusivity. This isn’t about transportation—it’s about possession.
For the hypercar collector who already has everything, this represents the ultimate trophy. A car that will never depreciate, never become commonplace, never be forgotten.
It’s a rolling testament to what happens when two perfectionist brands collaborate without compromise.
And that’s exactly why we can’t stop staring.
