Real-World History
Pagani revealed the Huayra R in 2021 as a track-only variant of the Huayra platform. The car uses a Mercedes-AMG-built 6.0-liter naturally-aspirated V12 producing 850 horsepower, paired with a sequential six-speed transmission and aggressive aerodynamic package. The body is constructed from a carbon-titanium composite weighing just 1,050 kilograms, making the power-to-weight ratio competitive with current Formula One cars. Production was limited to 30 examples.
Specifications
Huayra R Forza Horizon car chassis details: code Huayra-R; class at stock tune X; category Hypercars; tags include italian, V12, track-only, hypercar.
In the Forza Horizon Series
The Huayra R appears in Forza Horizon 5 and continues into Horizon 6 as one of the X-class anchors. The car requires aggressive driving inputs to extract maximum lap time, and many Festival Playlist circuit events specifically reward players who master its high-downforce balance.
The Huayra R Forza Horizon car appears across 2 entries: FH5, FH6. As a Huayra R Forza Horizon car entry, it sits in the X-class bracket at stock tune.
Tuning Notes
The chassis is a circuit specialist; avoid using it for drag racing where its aero package becomes a liability above 300 kilometers per hour. For Touge events, dial down the rear wing slightly to reduce understeer; for grip racing, leave the maximum aero settings and fit slick-compound tires. The naturally-aspirated V12 produces useful torque from low revs, so gearing for shorter ratios works better than conventional supercar long-gear setups.
For the Huayra R Forza Horizon car, the most successful community blueprints share a few common adjustments: balanced aero, tire compound matched to event surface, and gearing tuned for the specific Festival Playlist scenario rather than maximum top speed. The Huayra R Forza Horizon car responds best when the tuner respects the chassis's inherent character rather than trying to mask it with extreme settings.
Trivia & Lore
Each Huayra R sold for approximately three million euros, making it among the most expensive new cars Pagani has ever offered. The customer cars are kept in track-side facilities rather than home garages because road registration is impossible.
