Yahoo Autos Pagani Huayra Epitome has a twin-turbo V12 and a manual
Every supercar and hypercar manufacturer runs an in-house customization program, but Pagani extends the scope of personalization options wider than most. At the request of a customer, it built a one-of-a-kind Huayra equipped with a seven-speed manual transmission.
The model is called the Huayra Epitome, and it was developed by Pagani's Grandi Complicazioni division. The customer's name wasn't been released, but it sounds like that person played a significant role in creating the one-off by sharing ideas with Pagani founder Horacio Pagani. The planning part of the process took nine months; building the only stick-shifted Huayra required 10 additional months of work.
"It is a long and complex process because developing components dedicated to a single car requires the same time as those for series production cars," Lorenzo Kerkoc, the head of Pagani's Grandi Complicazioni division, said in a statement. Pagani noted the transmission is a transverse-mounted unit that was built by Xtrac, which makes racing gearboxes. It receives the engine's output via a triple-disc clutch.
