Which Pagani Huayra version to buy
There is 1 generation (March 2012–February 2018) and 1 modification: 6.0 DSG. Body: Roadster. Drive: RWD. Gearbox: Robotic, 7 speeds. Engine: Gasoline, 5980 cm³, 12 cylinders, V-shaped, Turbo, Central. Output: 730 hp (537 kW) at 4300 rpm and 1000 Nm at 2300 rpm.

With a single row in the data, “extra money for a stronger engine” does not apply. What the numbers buy is a 730 hp Roadster that weighs 1350 kg at the kerb, clears 110 mm, and is quoted at 3.3 s to 100 km/h and 370 km/h. Fuel use, tank, CO₂, eco class, gross weight, and wheel size are not measured.
Generations: what changed (and what did not)
1 generation (start 2012-03-01, stop 2018-02-28): Roadster, 1 version — 6.0 DSG. No restyle and no second generation appear in the data, so there is no later body, later gearbox, or later power figure to trade up to.
That means a generation-vs-generation shopper has nowhere to go: later years inside this window are still 6.0 DSG with the same 730 hp, 1000 Nm, 5980 cm³, RWD, and 7-speed Robotic box. You are not choosing between a “first” and a “facelift” engine; you are accepting or rejecting this one specification.
Specs of the only version: 6.0 DSG
| Version | hp | Nm | cm³ | Fuel | Cylinders / layout | Boost | Gearbox / gears | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6.0 DSG | 730 | 1000 | 5980 | Gasoline | 12, V-shaped | Turbo | Robotic, 7 | RWD |
Further 6.0 DSG engine facts from the same row: 3 valves per cylinder ( 12 × 3 = 36 valves), compression 9, bore × stroke 82.6 × 93, fuel grade 98, injection Distributed injection (multi-point), engine position Central. Front and rear suspension: Independent, spring. Front brakes: Ventilated disc. Rear brakes: Disc ventilated.
If two cars in this catalogue ever share the name 6.0 DSG, they would be split by power. Here there is only 730 hp, so the name 6.0 DSG is unique.
Engine math that decides the buy (6.0 DSG)
Specific output of 6.0 DSG: 730 hp ÷ 5.980 L ≈ 122.1 hp/L; 537 kW ÷ 5.980 L ≈ 89.8 kW/L; 1000 Nm ÷ 5.980 L ≈ 167.2 Nm/L.
Peak torque arrives at 2300 rpm; peak power at 4300 rpm. The gap is 2000 rpm. Torque is therefore the earlier number: 1000 Nm is on tap 2000 rpm before 730 hp is quoted. For a RWD Roadster that is the character of this one version — not a later tune, because no later tune is listed.
Boost is Turbo; layout is V-shaped 12; position is Central. Those three labels are the whole powertrain story for 6.0 DSG. There is no naturally aspirated twin in the table and no all-wheel-drive twin.
Performance vs economy: what 6.0 DSG is measured to do
6.0 DSG acceleration to 100 km/h: 3.3 s. Top speed: 370 km/h.
City, highway, and combined consumption: not measured. Tank: not measured. CO₂: not measured. Eco class: not measured.
A buyer comparing “mpg” between Huayra versions cannot do it from this catalogue: there is only 6.0 DSG, and that row has no consumption figures. Saying the car is economical or thirsty would invent a number. The honest economy answer is not measured.
Performance comparison between versions is equally empty: there is no second 0–100 or second top speed. 3.3 s and 370 km/h are the only pair. If those two numbers are the reason to buy, they attach only to 6.0 DSG.
Dimensions and weight: kg per horsepower on 6.0 DSG
Kerb weight 6.0 DSG: 1350 kg. Gross weight: not measured. Ground clearance: 110 mm. Tank: not measured. Wheels: not measured.
Mass per horsepower: 1350 ÷ 730 ≈ 1.85 kg/hp. Horsepower per tonne: 730 ÷ 1.350 ≈ 541 hp/t. Torque per tonne: 1000 ÷ 1.350 ≈ 741 Nm/t.
Clearance 110 mm is the only ride-height number. Wheel diameter is not measured, so tyre choice cannot be used to pick a version.
Without a second kerb weight, you cannot say a later Huayra is lighter. 1350 kg is the only kerb figure; 110 mm is the only clearance figure.
Which version to choose — and why there is only one answer
Choose 6.0 DSG if you want the Pagani Huayra as this catalogue defines it: 1 generation, Roadster, Gasoline 5980 cm³ V-shaped 12 with Turbo, Central, 730 hp / 1000 Nm, Robotic 7, RWD, 1350 kg, 110 mm, 3.3 s, 370 km/h, fuel 98.
Do not treat another badge as a different version. The data has no second name, no second horsepower, and no second generation. Arithmetic between versions (extra hp, extra kg, extra gears) is 0 because the second term does not exist.
What the “extra money” cannot buy here. There is no higher-output 6.0 DSG, no lower-output 6.0 DSG, no automatic alternative to Robotic, no AWD alternative to RWD, and no closed body next to Roadster. Price is not in the data; the comparison is mechanical only.
Reliability and problems. No failure rates, recalls, or service intervals are in the launch data. Those topics are not measured. Do not infer durability from 730 hp or from 9:1 compression.
Who should not buy 6.0 DSG on these numbers. Anyone who needs a published mpg, tank size, CO₂, eco class, gross weight, or wheel size: all are not measured. Anyone who needs more than 110 mm clearance, more than 7 gears, or a drive other than RWD: those alternatives are not listed.
Bottom line. The Huayra in this file is 6.0 DSG only. Power density is about 122 hp/L; mass is about 1.85 kg/hp; the sprint and top speed are 3.3 s and 370 km/h. If that row is acceptable, it is the version. If it is not, this catalogue has no other Huayra to switch to.
