Some people want their car to have battle scars—even when it’s brand new.
Pagani has just unveiled a new Utopia dubbed “The Coyote." While any example of this particular hypercar is special, this one has a feature you don’t see very much: a racing-style livery with faux damage.
It’s not often that a paint job is a vehicle’s defining feature, especially a mechanical marvel like the Utopia. But it’s impossible to look at The Coyote and see anything other than its head-turning livery, which was designed by its unnamed owner.

Pagani describes the latest example of its third hypercar as having been: “Painted as if it had just crossed the finish line after 24 hours at full heart." The bulk of the unique design is similar to that of the iconic Martini Racing livery, with a primary coat of Bianco Benny topped by Rosso Monza, Blue, and Turquoise stripes. The details that sets this paint job apart from others, though, are the “track scars" coming off the vehicle’s front splitter, wheel arches, and bumper. The markings aren’t painted. Instead, they are cutaways that reveal the exposed carbon-fiber body beneath the finish.
The interior is equally as brash. The cabin may be free of any fake scuffs and scratches, but it features Pagani’s trademark, steampunk-esque dashboard and center console. The seats and door panels are done up in Blue and Rossa Monza, with nearly every other surface finished in exposed carbon fiber or chrome.

The Coyote’s exterior and interior may be heavily customized, but its mechanical hardware has, wisely, been left alone. The car is powered by an AMG-sourced 6.0-liter V-12 connected to a seven-speed manual. The naturally aspirated mill delivers 852 hp and 811 ft lbs of torque, just like the new Huayra Codalunga Speedster. No performance numbers are mentioned, but Pagani said the hypercar could accelerate from zero to 62 mph 2.8 seconds and reach a top speed of 220 mph at the time of its debut.
The Italian marque also hasn’t said how much The Coyote costs, either. But considering all the custom details, it wouldn’t be surprising if its owner spent well over the Utopia’s $2.5 million starting price.
