The BC name doesn't reference that this machine is capable of transporting its driver back in time, but instead it refers to Benny Caiola who was the company's first customer. The BC retains the Huayra's Mercedes-AMG-sourced 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12, but output increases to over 750 horsepower and 738 pound-feet of torque.

Pagani doesn't mention performance specs yet, which is probably because the engine output isn't final. Pagani also sheds significant weight off the original coupe. The BC weighs 2,685 pounds versus about 2,976 pounds for a standard Huayra , depending on specification. ...
