You thought Utopia was a place? Nope—it’s a V-12–powered Italian supercar.
We've been waiting for Horatio Pagani's follow-up to the incredible Huayra and Zonda supercars for some time. Back in 2019, Pagani dropped some tantalizing hints about the next big thing, the C10. Pagani promised it'd pack a V-12 and even a proper manual transmission. He didn't disappoint—
, and it looks like nothing else on the road . Not only that, it indeed packs the manual we were promised and a twin-turbocharged V-12 engine.That engine is again built by AMG, and is similar to the M158 found in the Roadster BC. But, of course, there's more power: the Utopia churns out 852 horsepower from its 6.0-liter V-12, up from its predecessors. It is quite emphatically not electrified, something neither Pagani or his customers seems to be much interested in.
The whole thing has a bit of a neoclassical vibe, with an unusual triple rear window arrangement that loosely invokes some high-end prewar luxury cars, and even the split-window C2 Stingray. The central gauge stack, the gauge fonts, the steering wheel hint at retro inspiration. It seems intentional, as Pagani's materials cite design inspiration from classics like the iconic Vespa scooter and breathtaking Riva speedboats.
Underneath, the carbon fiber chassis appears to be a heavy revision of the unit found in the Huayra, with enhanced stiffness. The suspension is a double-wishbone arrangement with electronically controlled dampers, which is derived from a design used on the track-only Huayra R. While the visible aero elements are restrained, the Utopia features active aerodynamics to ensure it sticks to the ground at higher speeds.
