Although it’s been around since 2012, the Pagani Huayra  has yet to spawn more than a few special-edition  versions. But now that all 100 units of the supercar  have been sold, the Italian carmaker is working on new iterations of the model, two of which will be the Huayra Roadster  and a more hardcore version of the coupe.  While the former is still a mystery, the latter has recently surfaced the Interwebz in a teaser image revealed on the automaker’s Facebook page.

However, the supercar is still wrapped in black-and-white, QC-code-pattern camouflage, as it was three months ago when it was spotted on the road, and Pagani  had nothing to say about it, which leaves us no alternative but to play the guessing game. Fortunately, the large wing attached to its deck lid is enough confirmation that this is indeed a more hardcore version of the Huayra,  while the #huayrabc hashtag is a hint that it may be called the Huayra BC. We have no idea what BC stands for yet, but we created a rendering of the supercar to go with the speculative review you’re about to read below.

There’s no word as to when the winged Huayra will be shown to the world, but it should get a proper introduction this year. My best guess is that it will be revealed at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show  in March. Stay tuned for updates.

Updated 01/15/2016: In a recent interview with Autoblog, Pagani spokesman Luca Venturi confirmed that the Huayra BC will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show, while the roadster version will arrive later this year. He also confirmed that all the Huayra units were sold and that almost all where delivered.

At first glance, the Huayra BC is nothing more but a Huayra with a massive, fixed rear wing. However, upon closer inspection, the supercar in Pagani  ’s shadowy teaser sports several new features. For starters, it has a revised rear diffuser that stretches from one side of the bumper to the other. With the new diffuser, which seems suited for fast laps around the Nurburgring, comes a slightly reshaped fascia. The rear also features a pair of spoilers underneath the wing for improved downforce.

Moving onto the sides, we can see deeper side skirts and new, split-spoke alloy wheels, which are probably significantly lighter than the standard rollers. None of the teasers show the car’s nose, but given the modifications around back, the front fascia should also feature revised aerodynamics in the form of a more aggressive splitter, race-spec canards on each side, and maybe even a revised hood. Check out the rendering for our interpretation of the BC’s race-inspired nose.

All told, this iteration of the Huayra will most likely be similar to the Zonda R  in terms of looks and aerodynamics. But, unlike the Zonda R, it will be homologated for public road use. With no photos or info available, we know nothing about the Huayra BC’s interior, but I’m positive that its cockpit will remain similar to the standard model. If anything, Pagani might add even more carbon-fiber to reduce weight, a race-spec steering wheel, and a customized, numbered plate on the dashboard. Also, I wouldn’t be surprised if Pagani would remove the audio system altogether, but it really depends on the true purpose of this supercar. Motivation will most likely come from the same 6.0-liter V-12 in the standard Huayra, but the engine could be tweaked for more output. In the regular model, the AMG-sourced, bi-turbo plant generates 720 horsepower and 811 pound-feet of torque. Should Pagani go with more power, don’t expect more than 750 horses and 830 pound-feet of twist, as performance improvements will come from the added downforce and the reduced curb weight. Given the Huayra BC could be up to 100 pounds lighter than the stock model, which means it will tip the scales at under 3,000 pounds, expect the 0 to 60 mph sprint to drop from three to around 2.7 seconds. Top speed shouldn’t change much, but the Huayra BC should be able to hit at least 230 mph. The engine will probably mate to a revised version of the supercar’s seven-speed sequential transmission. With a stock Huayra priced at around $2 million, the BC will likely fetch in excess of $3 million given the aero and engine enhancements and the limited production run. According to recent reports, Pagani plans to build only 20 units and sell them to existing Huayra owners. That’s pretty much what McLaren  and Ferrari  did with the P1 GTR  and LaFerrari-  based FXX K,  respectively. We might not know much about the Huayra BC (the name wasn’t confirmed either), but it will certainly be the fastest and most powerful Huayra to date, as well as one of the most expensive supercars on the market. Heck, this thing will fetch more than a LaFerrari  or Bugatti Chiron and will allow its owners to customize numerous details. In short, each of the 20 BC’s will be unique and become collectibles as soon as they leave Pagani’s shop. Hopefully, the Italians will also try to set a Nurburgring record with it and give enthusiasts one more reason to remember the Huayra BC or whatever its name will be.
