- Pacchetto Tempesta translates to Storm Package
- Upgrades to suspension, aero and AMG’s V12
It was in 2011 when Pagani gave us the Zonda successor in the form of the Huayra. At the 2021 Monterey Car Week, the Italian marque is celebrating 10 years of its mid-engine supercar with this – the Pacchetto Tempesta (Storm Package) of the Benny Caiola (BC) version.
Powered by the same six-litre AMG-sourced V12, there’s an eight per cent bump in output that takes the total to 815bhp and 1,100Nm. Visual changes seen on the Storm Package includes a new front splitter and a dedicated air intake for better aero efficiency.
It also wears a massive new rear wing with an integrated central fin like the ones you see on F1 race cars. But the highlight of the Huayra Pacchetto Tempesta has to be the set of six exhaust tips at the back – the additional two sticking out from the diffusers.
Changes under the skin are the newer suspensions that are more focused on comfort with a new Soft Drive Mode added to the mix. The six-speed sequential gearbox remains unchanged along with the ultra-light Carbo-Titanium HP62-G2 and Carbo-Triax HP62 monocoque, specifically designed in line with the most stringent FIA requirements.
The Pagani Huayra BC Pacchetto Tempesta will be joined on The Quail stage and Laguna Seca by one of the 40 Huayra Roadster BC ever made. There’s a hardcore version also expected to show up since the Huayra is not going to be replaced – at least for a considerable amount of time.
