Pagani Imola: hyper track weapon
For this development, the displacement of the 36 valve 60 degrees twin-turbo V12 remains unchanged at 5980 cm3, but maximum torque and peak power are both increasing:
Power (hp) | Torque (Nm) | |
Imola | 827 | 1100 |
Huayra Roadster BC | 802 | 1050 |
Huayra Roadster | 764 | 1000 |
Torque is sent to the rear wheels through a 7 gear transverse Xtrac automated gearbox which integrate an electro-mechanical differential.
The suspension geometry has been newly designed to transfer the power and torque to the tarmac, and reduce the dive effect and sway when braking. A system of active shock-absorbers allows the front suspension to vary the ride height depending on the driving phase and in concert with the engine and gearbox ECU.
A relentless focus on weight savings resulted in the use of new Carbo-Titanium HP62 G2 and Carbo-Triax HP62 composites for the central monocoque. A new paint process named Acquarello Light allows to shed 5 kg of paint while maintaining color richness, depth and shine unchanged. Pagani claims a dry weight of 1246 kg.
The Imola has been developped with bespoke Pirelli Trofeo R tires (265/30R20 front and 355/23R21 rear). Overall dimensions are 4853 mm over a 2795 mm wheelbase, 2035 mm in width (2264 mm at the mirror), and 1269 mm in height.
