This is the new Pagani Imola Roadster, one of the few models still launching with V12 engines these days | PiataAuto.md – The website of the car world from Moldova

The famous Italian manufacturer of niche supercars Pagani has launched the new Imola Roadster, a model that is a collector’s item from the first moment it was announced, as it is one of the very few cars that are still launched with V12 engines these days. And the superb engine comes in a car that weighs less than a Toyota Corolla or less than the battery of a large electric SUV these days!

Yes, the new Pagani Imola Roadster, with all the mandatory body reinforcements for a convertible, weighs only 1,260 kg! The new model is not just a roofless version of the Imola Roadster, launched in 2020, as Pagani wanted to apply advanced design principles that would make the circuit or high-speed experience unparalleled, without the disturbance of air currents which would be allowed to reach the pilot’s driving area.

And the V12 engine is more powerful than on the coupe, and that required a more powerful cooling system with larger radiators. It’s the same V12 engine used by Pagani on all its models and it comes from Mercedes-AMG, having 6.0 liters and developing here 850 HP and 1,100 Nm. It is an engine that traces its origins to the previous S 65 AMG, and earlier to the Maybach models and even the Mercedes W140 of yesteryear, although the constructive updates have been extensive from the 90s until today. But it’s a model that has evolved along the way, keeping the same cylinder capacity and basic construction.

I said that the model is a collector’s item from the first moment it was announced, and the announcement that only 8 copies of the new model will be produced will contribute to this! Only eight! The price is not publicly announced, but with only 8 cars produced, it can be as high as 10 million, and there will still be people ready to pay any amount to have one of the 8 superb cars, which will still have a V12 in them the year 2024!
