Track-only hypercar — where it fits and how it came to be

The model here is based on the Pagani Huayra R, the uncompromising track-only version of the Huayra line. It follows the idea of the Zonda R and therefore traces back to the Zonda platform. The Pagani Huayra R is part of the Generation: Huayra R and was first shown built from: 2021. It was developed under the creative direction of Horacio Pagani; the naturally aspirated V12 was made in collaboration with HWA, the company of Hans-Werner Aufrecht. While the road-going Huayra uses a biturbo V12, the Pagani Huayra R has its own bespoke engine and a pure track concept without road homologation. The miniature shown belongs to the collection of Modelly member “mihals”. It’s a model car at a scale of 1/18 from LCD Models, made as diecast, i.e. cast metal. So it’s aimed at collectors who want something sturdy but still nicely detailed.

Tech and construction of the original

The Pagani Huayra R uses the so-called V12‑R, a 6.0‑liter (1.59 US gallons) naturally aspirated engine that puts out roughly 850 PS at 8,250 rpm and about 750 Nm (553 lb-ft) at 5,500 rpm; the redline is around 9,000 rpm. It’s mated to a sequential, non-synchronized 6‑speed gearbox with dog-ring tech, built for fast shifts and high durability in track use. The chassis is a carbon-titanium composite (Carbo‑Triax/HP52) with an integrated safety cage; the dry weight is about 1,050 kg (2,315 pounds). The Pagani Huayra R uses pushrod-activated double-wishbone suspension, race dampers, variable traction control and motorsport-tuned ABS. Carbon-ceramic brakes (CCM‑R) with big discs and race calipers give consistent stopping power. The aero package aims for over 1,000 kg (2,205 pounds) of downforce at high speed; visible elements are the front splitter, a full undertray with diffuser and a fixed rear wing. Tire partner is Pirelli; the P Zero slicks/trackday specs are matched to the weight and drivetrain setup.

Track not championship — usage profile and drivers

The Pagani Huayra R isn’t homologated for regular racing series. So there aren’t any GT or endurance championship results. Instead, the car is used in Pagani’s “Arte in Pista” program: customer driving programs, test days and demo runs on international tracks. These events show how the car compares to GT3 cars in lap times, without fitting into a specific class. It’s been shown at international festivals and selected trackdays; at those events you’ll often see the Pagani Huayra R with engineering crews from HWA and Pagani for telemetry and setup.

Experienced test and instructor drivers handle the Pagani Huayra R at these events. Known names involved in demo and development runs include Andrea Palma, who works as a factory and development driver for Pagani and helps customers with setups, and Loris Bicocchi, who’s established in the hypercar testing scene. Both typically drive the Pagani Huayra R to fine-tune aero, damper settings and the tire window. There are no official wins or titles since it’s not a homologated race car, but the track outings generate useful data and clearly demonstrate what the package can do. The predecessor in this kind of purpose-built, track-focused car was the Zonda R, which already set the template for Pagani’s exclusive customer track program.

The miniature in “mihals” collection

The pictured miniature is a 1/18 scale model from LCD Models and is diecast. In the photos you can see nicely executed panel gaps and functional gullwing-style doors that mimic the Huayra R’s opening motion. The visible carbon weave is reproduced across the body, including directional fiber patterns on the fenders, doors and rear wing. The wheels match the multi-spoke central-lock design with a reproduced center nut, and behind them you can spot the brake discs and calipers. The tires carry readable P‑Zero lettering from Pirelli, matching the original supplier; a red front tow point is also detailed. The big rear wing, front splitter and side aero elements show the variety of shapes from the real car. With a door open you can peek into the interior: suggestive racing buckets, harness detail, a wheel with functional-looking areas and a textured center console convey the car’s track focus. For collectors this version is noteworthy: being diecast it’s sturdy, yet detailed enough to convincingly capture the original’s lines.

Paint, markings and visible details

Visually the model sticks to the exposed-carbon look of the Pagani Huayra R: visible carbon fiber in a dark base tone with yellow pinstripes that run down the center and into the front intakes. White “Huayra R” lettering on the doors and the Italian tricolore badge behind the front wheels underline the origin. The stripes continue around the window edges and over the roof bulge; the front and rear contours are emphasized with fine yellow trims. The model photos from “mihals” also show the deep-cut front with big channels that, on the real car, guide brake and cooling airflow. The rear end with fixed wing, endplates and diffuser faithfully reproduces the downforce architecture. Decals are kept minimal — mainly Pirelli on the tires — which fits the track-focused theme. Overall the miniature captures the Huayra R’s proportions — long, low nose, compact greenhouse, wide rear — and the LCD Models 1/18 execution is a solid, detail-oriented addition to any hypercar or track-toy display.
