Pagani has been teasing and leading us on for years about the successor to the Huayra and many of its specifications and details. They have a history of doing this, as we all had the same feeling about 10-12 years ago when we were awaiting the debut of the Huayra to replace the Zonda. Rumors of the Huayra’s replacement, as of right now known as the C10, have been swirling around the internet for over a year now, and Pagani has finally given us the last teaser for their upcoming hypercar.

Honestly, not much, we get a peak at the body lines surrounding the cabin and front end, the C10 name, and Horracio’s white swept-back hair, but the latter is not that interesting. That name is a dramatic departure from Pagani’s usual naming scheme, which tends to name its cars after wind systems or ancient gods of wind.

As far as we know "C10" is just an internal nickname. One of the world’s most fashionable brands is not releasing a hypercar in the world’s fashion capital, Milan, Italy, and naming it the "C10."

In terms of the styling we see in the teaser, the front bumper and body that surrounds the cabin are similar to the Huayra (at least from a specific angle). The most significant difference on the front end from what we know at the time of writing is that the headlights sit in one large housing, as opposed to each light having its own housing in previous Paganis.

A lot of the aesthetic characteristics we know of are based on spy shots. The exhaust layout is shared with Paganis of old with four pipes arranged in a square exit at the top of the rear bumper and will probably create a wild sound. The door mirrors also are shaped like eyes or leaves, depending on how you look at them, something else that is reminiscent of past Paganis.

The interesting stats are centered around the engine, a 6.0-liter twin-turbo V-12 built by Mercedes-AMG. We have become familiar with it over the last ten years as it debuted in the original Huayra.

We expect Pagani to crank the power up to max at 850-880 horsepower without the use of electrification. That is all but essential as the "base" Ferrari 296 comes with a V-6 and maxes out at 819 horsepower. In fact, Pagani canceled plans for an EV hypercar after the EU gave small niche auto manufacturers extra slack. Since Pagani sells less than 10,000 units a year, they have until 2035 to get their EV act together.

Possibly the most exciting aspect of the C10 is that it will be available with a traditional manual gearbox. Apparently, Pagani did some research and found that a handful of Zonda owners did not bother with the Huayra since it only came with paddles.

Sadly the naturally aspirated V-12 from the Huayra R will not carry over to the C10, however, it will surely have some of its suspension, aerodynamic, and braking technology.
