FIRST DRIVE: Pagani Utopia - 864bhp V12 Hypercar Or Art?

Zonda. Huayra. A succinct but epic bloodline for the next Pagani hypercar to follow.
And there’s much promise too, for the new Utopia: a twin-turbo, AMG-supplied V12 with 846bhp; a carbo-titanium monocoque; even the option of a manual gearbox…
Only 99 will be built, each costing around £2.2m a pop.
But is it a piece of automotive art, too delectable to be driven? Top Gear Magazine’s Head of Car Testing, Ollie Marriage, finds out…

The Pagani Utopia looks like a love child of the Zonda and Huayra. At first I wasn't sure I liked its design but over time it has grown on me and now I think it's pretty good. Also it has a manual gearbox!

[@Gaudine]

It’s still not as good looking as the Huayra or the Zonda F. The cabin itself is a step back from the Huayra’s cabin. Outside the Huayra looked like a fighter jet. This with its organic bits and too many details ruins it for me. The Huayra’s side view mirrors were so beautiful.

[@jordanturner4972]

I thought the exact same. At first I hated it, but the more I have seen of this car, the more I think it is possibly the best looking car made since maybe the 458. It has so much history in the design. Love it

[@nilsn.3633]

Pagani did such a good job on this car. The evolution from the huraya to this is car art at its best. The angle from the back over the exhaust and you see the rainwater stays on the engine cover and not floating away gives me butterflies in my belly. The effort and details makes it, from my point of view, the most beautyful car design a.t.m. on road. And i hope for a ling time. Like bugatti in the old times...

And it has, since then. Now even more, when it's being driven - the final part of the puzzle, you could say.

i dont want to take away form all the comments in the video, but its a Pagani, some things are impossible to describe however the "No and Yes" is the best and most accurate comment. That is why every Pagani is amazing. Its that AMG based v12 heart, my favorite engine and it is true to how it differentiates the car and the driving experience. Pagani takes all the design characteristics to perfection, he is a master of user experience, design and the combination of the two. It is for this reason that this car becomes artwork. We have a dealer near us in Greenwich CT. I have been lucky to meet Horatio once while he visited Miller Motorcars. He is a very calm and cool guy and his background is amazing.

[@moogle68]

You need to do a side-by-side comparison of the Utopia and the Huayra. They are not alike at all. Biggest distinction is the air intakes at the bottom of the front of the Utopia, The Huayra is much more simplistic in design, less busy, more flat panels/blank space. The bubble shape of the cockpit in the Utopia is another big standout from the Huayra. The idea was still there on the Huarya, but the bobble is much more emphasized on the Utopia, although you might have to look at it in a 3 dimensional way to notice the changes. The headlights are also massively different in the Utopia. I also much prefer the font in the dials in the Utopia, and the wheels are a significant upgrade, imo. Huarya wheels may have been made out of nice materials, but always looked like well made generic aftermarket cheapo wheels/wheel covers to me.

The Monteverdi, with its blend of Swiss precision and Italian elegance, stands as a testament to the enduring allure of classic craftsmanship. Unlike the Pagani Utopia, which seems to cater to the flashy tastes of the nouveau riche, a Monteverdi exudes the kind of understated luxury that is synonymous with old wealth. It’s a vehicle that doesn’t need to boast about its capabilities or price tag; its poise and grace are enough to convey its storied heritage and the refined taste of its owner.

I personally think both of them are ugly. 😆😆

​@@burgundyexpressPagani have been using Leather Straps since the first Zonda in all of their cars until now.

Designing a car to two-tone with a blacked-out roof and then painting the press car all one colour... was an interesting choice. I'm not sold on how the front looks either. But I'm sure they'll sell a few. Pagani values only seem to go up, never down.

[@salz_]

Yeah I feel like it has areas that have been 'over-designed'. I do love the shape and the especially the rear, but it doesn't really feel like an evolution beyond the Huayra. It looks more like Pagani still not getting over the Zonda.

[@axi0matic]

@@salz_ Yeah, the area between the front and rear number plates. The interior in particular is pretty chintzy. If I didn't know otherwise, I'd assume it was some kind of special edition Huayra.

[@fredericperrin3279]

When a car makes a Ferrari or a Porsche GTR looks like a boring production line car, you know that car is pretty special. Incredible thing. A weird work of art lost in time and space, pure beauty, decadent. Phenomenal.

Some of the best cinematography Top Gear has ever done. Beautiful car, beautiful scenes.

[@Ananduuh_]

Working piece of art❤️🔥

[@WordToMomsYo]

Sublime. And yet, I'd still prefer a Zonda (in "R" specification, or maybe the Tricolore... Or any one of the 6,981 limited edition models mfg towards the "end" of the run)

[@viniciusmagnoni6492]

I prefer the Old School, C12S 7.3 V12s.

[@TheMich36]

Paganis and Spijkers, there is just something about them. Of course they're cars, but so beautifully made and designed that I would call them automotive art. Just georgeous creations.

[@lesflynn4455]

Drool drool drool. I'll never know anyone wealthy enough to even test drive one. But they are extremely lovely. The exposed manual is really special. I'm so glad they still fit it with a manual. Horacio keeping it the way it should be. Bravo sir.

[@vindevhunta4905]

Work of art Zonda is my favorite though❤❤❤

[@reanozeon9459]

MY FAVOURITE 😊 🤩 PAGANI EVER ....!!! INFACT ONE OF THE MOST AUTHENTIC CAR ...I HAVE EVER SEEN !

[@fenrirslip]

A lot of people don't understand the ethos that the Pagani Utopia is supposed to evoke. It's a completely different design philosophy when compared to the Huayra. The Huayra is inspired by aviation and even the name refers to a wind that flows through Italy. The Utopia on the other hand is meant to harken back to race cars of old. There's nothing else quite like it and so the Utopia is both a hypercar and a work of art.

[@Cyan37]

Can't believe how happy it makes me to see a manual in a new car! Also this entire car is oozing vintage vibes and I love it!

[@boy638]

Mechanical perfection as usual. But I can't be the only one to think that face is not attractive compared to the Huayra or Zonda?

[@gaycha6589]

Yes it’s clumsy and ugly. But with nice details

[@HumanButcher150]

@@gaycha6589it is VERY ugly.

[@viniciusmagnoni6492]

The order ones look better but it is beautiful nonetheless.

[@kimmern999]

I think it looks better than the Huayra, but not as good as the Zonda.

[@vr6one]

I like Pagani but, this car is not a particularly pretty car. I bet its awesome to drive and a hell of an experience but it looks like a jumping spider

[@HumanButcher150]

More like a shitting spider.

[@sanjayhalikar6900]

This beauty of the car is just sublime. A veritable piece of automotive art. I love everything about the design. The attention to deatil is just unbelievable, especially the leather straps holding down the engine covers. Everything is warm and characterful about this car. Would love to see one in the flesh soon.
