A few months later its world premiere in Las Vegas, The highly exclusive Pagani Huayra Codalunga Speedster was spotted in action at the Hockenheim circuit in Germany. A rare sighting for an ultra-limited production model, captured in a video posted on Instagram by photographer Freddie Atkins, accompanied by the evocative caption: «The €11 million Pagani Huayra Coda Lunga Speedster hits the road.».
For those in attendance at the 2026 Doerr Group Days event held at the famous German racetrack, the moment was truly special. Seeing a Pagani is already a rare sight. Seeing one of the most exclusive creations ever to roll out of the workshop in San Cesario sul Panaro is even rarer.
A rolling work of art finally on the move
When Pagani unveiled the Huayra When the Codalunga Speedster debuted in Las Vegas, attention naturally focused on its design. Inspired by 1960s race cars and the famous Italian barchetta models, it seemed more suited to a concours d’élégance than to a dynamic track session.
Yet the images captured at Hockenheim by photographer Freddie Atkins—also known by the username tfjj on Instagram—serve as a reminder that, beyond its sculptural silhouette, the Codalunga Speedster remains a true hypercar. Its seemingly endless rear end, fluid lines, and sleek profile take on a whole new dimension when it’s on the track.
The satin green finish of the model spotted in Germany immediately catches the eye. Combined with an interior that blends light leather, polished aluminum, and wood trim, it further enhances the neo-retro atmosphere envisioned by Horacio Pagani.
The unsung hero of the Doerr Group Days
This appearance took place as part of the 2026 Doerr Group Days, a private event bringing together some of the world’s most prestigious cars at the Hockenheimring. To allow enthusiasts to witness the spectacle, the organizers had exceptionally opened the circuit’s South B grandstand on June 12 and 13. From this grandstand, visitors could watch the supercars and hypercars on the track from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. It was the perfect setting to catch a glimpse of models usually hidden away in private collections or ultra-secure garages.
The appearance of the Huayra Codalunga Speedster was, of course, one of the highlights of the weekend. It is so rare that every public appearance becomes an event in itself.
A tribute to the 1960s that’s worth a fortune
Presented by Pagani as a personal tribute to the most elegant race cars of the 1960s, the Codalunga Speedster embodies the same philosophy as the Codalunga Coupé unveiled in 2022. The goal was not to break speed records or add ever more spectacular aerodynamic appendages, but to pursue a form of stylistic purity. Beneath this elongated body made of Carbo-Titanium and Carbo-Triax lies the same AMG twin-turbo V12 that has been a staple of Pagani for many years.
Although Pagani has never officially disclosed the price of this Speedster version, several estimates suggest that the value of some highly customized models could exceed 11 million euros. This figure explains the reaction of internet users who saw the video filmed at Hockenheim.
