Pagani has taken the wraps off a striking new special edition of its Utopia hypercar, aptly named the Utopia Coyote. Designed to turn heads and stir conversation, the Coyote features a race-inspired livery with unique styling touches that simulate “track scars.” It’s a visual feast—or a controversial move—depending on whom you ask.

 

The Coyote stands out with its Bianco Benny base coat, overlaid with dramatic red, turquoise, and blue racing stripes that many have likened to a Martini livery. But the most talked-about design element is the “torn” graphic treatment—faux abrasions that reveal the carbon fibre body underneath, mimicking battle damage from the racetrack. While purely cosmetic, these “track scars” have divided opinion online. Some praise it as an artistic tribute to racing culture, while others see it as over-the-top theatrics.

Inside, the hypercar continues the bold theme with blue upholstery, white contrast stitching, and red accents that echo the livery outside. The cabin is every bit as luxurious and bespoke as you’d expect from Pagani, blending handcrafted detail with performance-focused intent.

Mechanically, the Utopia Coyote remains unchanged from the standard version. It’s powered by a 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged V12 engine sourced from Mercedes-AMG, producing a colossal 852 bhp and 112.16 kgm of torque. Power is sent exclusively to the rear wheels via a 7-speed Xtrac manual gearbox, delivering a purist driving experience that’s becoming increasingly rare in today’s performance car world.

The Coyote appears to be a one-off customer commission, with a price tag exceeding ₹16.5 crore (approx. USD 2 million). It joins an elite club of ultra-exclusive Paganis, where form and function meet artistic expression. Only 99 Utopia coupes were originally planned, all spoken for even before deliveries began. A Utopia Roadster followed in 2024 with just 130 units, each priced at over ₹24 crore (USD 3 million).

Interestingly, when the Utopia first launched in 2022, many questioned why there wasn’t a hybrid or electric variant. Horacio Pagani later revealed that customers simply didn’t want one, and making the car hybrid would compromise weight and purity. While Pagani hasn’t ruled out an electric model in the future, an electric Utopia seems permanently off the table.

The Utopia Coyote, then, stands not just as a showcase of Pagani’s design freedom, but also as a statement of commitment to the visceral, analog driving experience.
