New Pagani Huayra Roadster Imagined

A lot of things still remain unknown about the new Pagani Huayra, but if the outgoing Zonda is anything to go by, it's almost certain that the company will eventually expand the supercar's range with special editions, Clubsport models and of course, a roadster version. Teamspeed forum resident and photoshop specialist Wild-Speed, who you may remember from his recent work on the 2013 Porsche Cajun 3-door SUV, has now made use of his talents to chop the roof off the Huayra Coupe and provide us with a glimpse of what a future roadster variant might look like.

It's only logical to assume that if or rather when Horacio Pagani's company decides to develop an open-top Huayra, it will follow a similar formula to the Zonda Roadster, keeping the weight at the same levels as the coupe through special construction techniques and materials, with production to be limited to double digit numbers.

Leaked Magazine Shots Overshadow Fourth Pagani C9 Video Teaser

Only a few hours after Pagani released the fourth teaser of the upcoming supercar codenamed C9 � and dubbed Huayra by an increasing number of sources �, a set of allegedly official magazine scans surfaced online. The pictures are said to be sourced from the upcoming February edition of the Spanish-language Car Magazine, featuring several shots of Horacio Pagani's new supercar.

There�s no way of telling if the photos are indeed real and not some skillfully done photoshops, but we have to say that the car shown is not what we expected. Sure, the gullwings are nice additions, but the rest is just a mild makeover of the Zonda, which in this case is a turn off.

According to the magazine, the new model will cost �1 million (US$1.36 million), while the annual production will be limited to just 20 units. Once again, we can�t confirm this, but the price sounds about right.

As for the teaser, it presents a sketch being drawn with Horacio Pagani himself providing the voiceover. �We wanted to give shape to the wind�, Mr. Pagani said. �And Huayra is our wind�. Only time will tell if that sketch has anything to do with the Zonda replacement and if it�ll be called Huayra after all.

VIDEO: Pagani Teases the Exterior of its Upcoming C9 Supercar

For the third week in a row, Pagani is teasing its upcoming C9 supercar. Compared to the previous videos, the literally dark atmosphere of the clip makes it harder for the viewer to discern the details of the curvaceous body, including the tail lights, exhaust tips and front bumper. An added bonus is a clearer shot of the steering wheel and instrument panel. Hit the jump to watch the teaser and screenshots.

SCOOP: New Pagani C9 Supercar Filmed Around the Factory

While Pagani is testing our nerves with its shadowy teaser videos, Youtube user 'Marchettino' caught the Italian supercar on test in its homeland. The first clean-sheet design Pagani in years, which is currently known by its C9 codename, is pegged for a debut at the Geneva Salon in March. The gullwing-door supercar will be powered by a new 6.0-liter bi-turbocharged V12 sourced from Mercedes-Benz's AMG division, tuned to deliver somewhere around 700 horsepower and over 1,000 Nm or 738 lb-ft of peak torque. Video follows after the jump.
