This $2.5 Million Pagani Is Painted With Fake Damage Marks
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.Best of Robb Report

Pagani Reveals 'The Coyote' Utopia Inspired by 24 Hours of Le Mans
Summary Paganihas unveiled a striking special edition of itsUtopiahypercar, dubbed The Coyote. Commissioned by a devoted collector, the bespoke build takes visual cues from endurance racing, especially the grueling24 Hours of Le Mans. Though pristine underneath, The Coyote wears a battle-worn disguise. Its custom livery blends Rosso Monza, Blue and Turquoise streaks over a Bianco Benny base, mimicking the scuffs, grime and tire marks a car might accumulate after a day-long race. The effect continues around the fender arches and bodywork, creating the illusion of wear earned on the track, not in the garage. Inside, however, everything remains untouched and impeccable. The cockpit features a two-tone blue and red interior with Pagani's signature exposed mechanics and metallic details, reflecting the same attention to craft and detail found in the exterior. This is the collector's third Pagani, and according to the marque, it was shaped with 'patience, care and almost meditative devotion.'

This ‘Race-Worn' Pagani Utopia Is the Pre-Ripped Jeans of Hypercars
People who can afford to drop seven figures on a bespoke hypercar often come up with wild color combinations, so you're not confusing anyone else's ride for theirs. This particular Pagani Utopia commissioned by one client, however, might be the most unique of any we've seen lately. Like the pre-ripped denim craze of the aughts, this Utopia trades on stolen valor to look like it's been through the ringer of endurance racing, and the effect isn't very persuasive. Pagani says it's called 'The Coyote' (whether the buyer dubbed it that or the automaker is unclear) and describes it as 'a fleeting glimpse of a livery shaped by endurance: untamed, imperfect, alive.' Its red and blue accents are reminiscent of a Martini-liveried Porsche, but what makes this Utopia special are the fake tears stretching from the wheel wells, the floors, and the bottom of the front bumper, revealing 'exposed' carbon fiber. In my view, there are two issues with this. First, it's ugly. From a distance, it looks like the abrasions were drawn on with marker. Second, if you've ever actually seen a car at the end of a full day of competition, they don't tend to look anything like this Pagani. Fortunately, the World Endurance Championship YouTube account posted a video after last year's 24 Hours of Le Mans that highlights the difference. Look at the field of finishers. We see plenty of caked-on dirt and tar, dust collected on the wheels themselves and the surrounding bodywork, and charred panels near exhaust pipes. What we don't see are strips of wraps and vinyls torn back like Wolverine has clawed through them. And the whole effect feels even flimsier because you just know that the owner will never abuse this car like those battle-scarred gladiators of the Mulsanne. Only one Pagani has ever actually taken on Le Mans, as it happens, and it was a Zonda way back in 2003. Of course, this guy can do whatever he wants with his money. It's his third Pagani, according to the company, and this 'collector…doesn't just configure a car but shapes a fragment of himself into every line and stitch, with patience, care, and almost meditative devotion.' No arguing with that—he's commissioned a Utopia that is distinctly his own. I'm just wondering if it's a bellwether for other trends. Some people will tell you cargo shorts are making a comeback; will the same soon be true of distressed denim?
