Pagani Automobili at the 2025 Monterey Car Week: Over 20 Years of Track Hypercars, Together for the First Time
By Auto Trader UAE
Pagani Automobili has always been synonymous with extreme performance, artistry, and a relentless pursuit of engineering perfection. This year, the Italian hypercar maker returns to Monterey Car Week 2025 with a celebration unlike any before. For the first time in history, more than two decades of Pagani’s track-only Hypercars will gather in one place, creating a breathtaking tribute to innovation, speed, and design mastery.
Held in San Cesario sul Panaro, Pagani’s home and heart, the showcase brings together every major track-focused model the marque has ever crafted — from the very first Zonda Monza to the newly revealed Huayra R Evo Roadster, the brand's most audacious creation to date. This once-in-a-lifetime assembly isn’t just a static display. It’s a visceral demonstration of Pagani’s belief that the track isn’t a deviation — it’s the purest expression of a car’s soul.
The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering – Friday, August 15
One of the most exclusive events of Monterey Car Week, The Quail will see Pagani take center stage with its most celebrated track beasts. At noon, anticipation will crescendo as the Huayra R Evo Roadster’s V12 fires to life at the Pagani stand. The crowd won’t just hear the car — they’ll feel it. Moments later, Horacio Pagani, the visionary behind the brand, will meet with fans at the Pagani Store for an autograph session.
Star of the Show: Huayra R Evo Roadster (2024)
The Huayra R Evo Roadster embodies Pagani’s most daring track engineering. Inspired by the brutal Le Mans racers of the 1960s, this open-top hypercar is an extreme, roofless sculpture that channels raw motorsport heritage.
- Engine: Naturally aspirated V12-R Evo

Beyond its specs, this car is about emotion — the kind only a true purist can appreciate.
The Historic Icons Joining the Celebration
???? Zonda Monza (2004)
The first-ever Pagani designed strictly for the circuit. Built for a customer seeking pure performance beyond the road, it included features like an F1-style quick-refuel tank, roll bar, plexiglass windows, and a mighty 7.0-liter AMG V12. The Monza was the beginning of Pagani’s “Arte in Pista” journey.
???? Zonda R (2009)
Developed without road regulations in mind, the Zonda R was a technological tour de force. With a Carbo-Titanium monocoque, 750 HP AMG V12, and F1-inspired aerodynamics, it posted a record-shattering 6:47 Nürburgring lap. It’s not just a car — it’s an engineering benchmark.
???? Zonda Revolución (2013)
The apex of the Zonda R evolution. With 800 HP, a magnesium transmission with 20 ms shift times, and active DRS for real-time aero tuning, it was a machine created to obliterate time.
???? Huayra R (2021)
Combining the past and future, the Huayra R revives endurance racing DNA with 850 HP and a top redline of 8,250 rpm. Built with Le Mans-level safety, this beast delivers 1,000 kg of downforce and a sound once crowned “Best Noise of the Year” by BBC Top Gear.
Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion – Saturday, August 16
Pagani’s Monterey celebration won’t end with a static display. At the legendary WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, the Huayra R Evo Roadster will take to the track during the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion, a highlight of Car Week and a fitting backdrop for this new chapter of Pagani history.
In celebration of Formula 1’s 75th anniversary, this event blends heritage with innovation — and the presence of Pagani’s latest hypercar symbolizes the future of motorsport art. The Roadster’s hot laps will be a symphony of V12 thunder echoing across Laguna Seca’s corkscrew turns, uniting the past and present in one unforgettable performance.
A Monumental Moment in Hypercar History
Pagani’s return to Monterey Car Week 2025 is more than an exhibit — it’s a declaration. A celebration of what happens when passion, engineering, and artistry converge with no compromise. As the engines roar and Horacio Pagani shares his vision with the world, attendees are reminded why Pagani remains in a league of its own.
Whether you’re dreaming of owning a Pagani or simply admiring from afar, this display serves as a reminder: true automotive art lives on the track.
