While the engine isn't naturally aspirated, the press release stated that 'turbo response is immediate'. The engine delivers 852 horsepower and 811 pound-feet of torque, ensuring impressive acceleration and performance.
The car's lightweight construction (1,280 kg dry weight), featuring a carbo-titanium monocoque frame, enhances its agility and responsiveness.

The roadster features a removable hard-top that integrates seamlessly into its profile, allowing easy transitions between open and closed configurations.
The exterior showcases Pagani's blend of elegance and aggression, with meticulously crafted aerodynamic elements and a striking exposed carbon-fiber finish that's becoming the brand's signature.
New to the Utopia Roadster is the Pirelli Cyber Tyre technology that allows the car to communicate with the tires using sensors to enhance the ABS, ESP, and traction control functions.

Driving Pleasure and Technology
Drivers can choose between a seven-speed manual gearbox, which offers a tactile and engaging driving experience, and an AMT automated gearbox controlled via paddle shifters for quick gear changes. This versatility ensures that the Utopia Roadster caters to purists and those seeking modern convenience.
Like its coupe cousin, inside the cabin, the Utopia Roadster embraces analog instrumentation, providing a tactile and intuitive driving experience. The large, mechanically inspired dials and gauges offer a direct connection to the car's performance, enhancing the driver's sense of control.

The steering wheel, crafted from a single piece of lightweight metal and hand-finished, exemplifies Pagani's dedication to craftsmanship.

The Pagani Utopia Roadster is a blend of automotive artistry and engineering prowess. With its powerful V12 engine, exquisite design, and meticulous attention to detail, the Utopia Roadster promises a remarkable driving experience.
As it makes its debut at Monterey Car Week, the world will witness the next chapter in Pagani's legacy of creating extraordinary vehicles that push the boundaries of performance and luxury.
