On the pristine lawn at the edge of the Las Vegas desert, the V12s have spoken again. A year after unveiling the spectacular Codalunga Speedster there, Pagani returned to the Wynn Las Vegas 2026 concours for a moment that felt deliberately curated and unforgettable: the founder Horacio Pagani himself lifted the cover on an ultimate one-off, in front of a small, highly exclusive gathering of collectors.
This new machine is the Pagani Huayra 70 Anima, also known as the Huayra Settanta Anima, the third and final piece in a hyper-private series created to celebrate the founder’s 70th birthday. With it, the brand isn’t merely closing the Huayra 70 trilogy—Trionfo, Derecho, and Anima. For the first time, the three cars were shown together in public in Las Vegas, in what looked like a carefully choreographed farewell to the gasoline-fueled Huayra.
Concours at Wynn Las Vegas 2026: the Pagani Huayra 70 Anima closes the trilogy
The Concours at Wynn Las Vegas 2026 ran from October 30 through November 1, at the foot of the famed Strip resort. It was on October 31 that the Pagani Huayra 70 Anima made its world debut, revealed by Horacio Pagani himself. A year earlier, the same event hosted the world premiere of the Huayra Codalunga Speedster, which clearly established Wynn as the Italian brand’s preferred stage for its one-off creations.
L’Anima occupies a status apart. It is the third and final creation from the Grandi Complicazioni division, an internal branch devoted to the most intricate and exclusive projects. This trilogy began with the Huayra 70 Trionfo, a carbon-fiber showcase with a visible green hue and orange accents, delivered after its December debut. It continued with the Huayra 70 Derecho, unveiled at the Goodwood Festival of Speed earlier in the year, in a striking Pearl Orange and Inky Blue combination. The three cars were designed to mark Horacio Pagani’s 70th birthday (born November 10, 1955), with Anima arriving just ten days before his 71st.
Design extreme and a manual V12: the final Huayra 70 Anima in detail
The Huayra 70 Anima pushes the dramatic envelope even further. Its bodywork blends exposed carbon with a Custom Metallic finish infused with diamond dust, paired with Inky Blue, and accented by a hand-drawn platinum leaf pinstripe. At the front, a deeper splitter merges with a sculpted bumper and sculpted side skirts, extended by long carbon side fins. Behind the cockpit, a prominent air intake in the shape of a strake dominates the hood, framed by individual roll bars, and it opens to an enormous fixed rear wing that gives the car a far more aggressive stance than a standard Huayra.
The rear end is even more visually busy. You’ll find broad ventilated sections, substantial carbon-dedicated aero surfaces, and a massive diffuser. The exposed bodywork allows a clear view of much of the mechanicals. The exhaust stands out with a six-outlet ceramic white configuration that starkly contrasts this carbon-and-metal mosaic. Inside, the white upholstery is lifted by blue accents, with machined metal components left visibly exposed and a dashboard studded with meticulously crafted controls—signature Pagani. Between the seats, there are three pedals and a seven-speed manual with its exposed linkage, a clear mechanical manifesto in an era dominated by automatic transmissions and hybrid systems.
Technically, Pagani has not released the exact specifications for the Huayra 70 Anima. Available information suggests it most likely borrows the 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 developed by Mercedes-Benz AMG, already used in the Huayra 70 Derecho. In that car, the twelve cylinders deliver about 860 horsepower and 1,100 Nm of torque, sent to the rear wheels through the seven-speed manual. The Anima would presumably carry a similar spec sheet, maintaining the rear-drive layout and that old-school manual gearbox in a hypercar world increasingly ruled by dual-clutch automatics and hybrid powertrains.
This trio of Huayra 70s arrives at a moment when Pagani has already introduced the Utopia to take official succession in the brand lineup. Yet Anima’s presence on the Wynn lawn demonstrates that the Huayra’s life continues in the form of ultra-limited Grandi Complicazioni editions. With its jewel-like bodywork, its V12 biturbo, and a naked manual transmission, the Anima reads like a bold, unabashed final chapter for the Huayra—written in public, side by side with Trionfo and Derecho, for the first time all gathered at a single concours.

The Huayra 70 Anima pushes the dramatic envelope even further. Its bodywork blends exposed carbon with a Custom Metallic finish infused with diamond dust, paired with a deep Inky Blue, all accented by a hand-drawn platinum-leaf pinstripe. At the front, a deeper splitter links to a sculpted bumper and sculpted side skirts, extended by long carbon side skirts. Behind the cockpit, a large air intake in the shape of a dérive dominates the hood, framed by individual roll bars, and it leads to a massive fixed rear wing that gives the car a far more aggressive silhouette than a standard Huayra.
The rear is even more visually busy. It features broad cutouts, extensive carbon-focused aerodynamics, and a massive diffuser. The exposed bodywork reveals a substantial portion of the mechanicals. The exhaust catches the eye with a six-exit white-ceramic line that stands out against this carbon-and-metal patchwork. Inside, the white upholstery is brightened with blue highlights, with machined metal parts left visible and a dashboard stuffed with meticulously designed controls, the Pagani signature. Between the seats, there are three pedals and a seven-speed manual with visible linkage, a tangible throwback to an era of hands-on mechanical purity in a world increasingly ruled by electronic aids.
Technically, Pagani has not released the exact figures for the Huayra 70 Anima. Available information suggests it likely revisits the 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 developed by Mercedes-AMG, already used in the Huayra 70 Derecho. In that car, the twelve cylinders deliver around 860 horsepower and 1,100 Nm of torque, transmitted to the rear wheels through the seven-speed manual. The Anima would presumably carry a similar specification, preserving a rear-wheel-drive layout and that old-school manual gearbox in a hypercar landscape increasingly dominated by dual-clutch transmissions and hybrid systems.
This trio of Huayra 70s comes as Pagani’s Utopia has officially taken the baton in the lineup. Yet Anima’s appearance on the Wynn lawn shows that the Huayra continues its career as ultra-limited editions under the Grandi Complicazioni banner. With its chassis treated as a precious artifact, its twin-turbo V12 and an openly exposed manual gearbox, the Anima reads as a confidently declared final chapter for the Huayra, written in public alongside Trionfo and Derecho, brought together for the first time at the same concours.
