I drove the world's LOUDEST car!
The Huayra R Evo Roadster stands apart from the standard Huayra road car. It’s powered by a 6.0-liter naturally aspirated V12 engine, developed with AMG’s motorsport division HWA, producing 900 horsepower and 770 Nm of torque. All of this is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed sequential gearbox, and the car weighs just 1,060 kg dry thanks to its carbon fiber construction. With no roof, the driver is even more exposed to the elements and the ferocious sound of the V12, which can reach up to 140 decibels—louder than a jet taking off.
Before being allowed on track, Mat must complete simulator training, mirroring the process every Pagani customer goes through to ensure safety and confidence behind the wheel. The car’s engineering is far beyond a simple convertible version of the Huayra R; the chassis is completely reworked for rigidity and safety, meeting FIA standards for the Le Mans Hypercar category, even though the car isn’t designed to race there.
Aerodynamics are a highlight: the Evo Roadster is longer than the standard Huayra R, with an extended front splitter and rear section inspired by classic longtail Le Mans cars. This design delivers more than 1,400 kg of downforce at high speed—enough to theoretically drive upside down in a tunnel.
The video also features interviews with Pagani’s chief technical officer and Horacio Pagani himself, who explain the philosophy behind the car’s design and the customer experience. Pagani’s approach blends uncompromising performance with a level of luxury and bespoke craftsmanship rarely seen in racing cars. Even the car’s exhaust system can be fitted with mufflers to comply with track noise limits, though at Spa, Mat gets to experience the full, unmuffled roar.
On track, Mat is coached through his first laps, gradually building confidence with the car’s immense grip, power, and responsiveness. After his session, he compares lap times with Pagani’s professional test driver, Andrea, and is humbled by the difference, especially through Spa’s legendary corners.
The day is rounded out with a look at the exclusive amenities Pagani offers its clients, from personalized coaching to nutrition and recovery therapy, making these track days as much about lifestyle as they are about speed.
In summary, the Pagani Huayra R Evo Roadster is a showcase of engineering, luxury, and exclusivity—delivering a visceral, unforgettable driving experience for those fortunate enough to get behind the wheel. The Carwow video captures not just the car’s raw performance, but also the passion and meticulous attention to detail that define Pagani’s approach to building some of the world’s most desirable hypercars.
