What Is the Pagani Huayra BC Coupe?
The Pagani Huayra BC is the track-focused variant of the Huayra, unveiled at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show. Its name honours Benny Caiola — a lifelong friend of founder Horacio Pagani and the very first person to ever buy a Pagani car. Only 20 units were produced, each priced at US$2.6 million.
Pagani built the BC with one goal: take the already formidable Huayra and strip away everything that was not essential for outright performance. The result was a car that weighed 132 kg less than the standard Huayra, generated more aerodynamic downforce, used a more powerful version of the twin-turbo V12, and wore a set of Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres with 12 different rubber compounds developed specifically for the model.
The weight reduction came from a new material Pagani developed called carbon triax — a tri-axis carbon fibre weave claimed to be 50% lighter and 20% stronger than conventional carbon fibre. This, combined with a stripped interior, a titanium exhaust system, new aluminium alloy wheels, and an overhauled aerodynamic package, took the dry weight down to just 1,218 kg (2,685 lbs).
The aerodynamics received full development attention. A new front splitter and winglets, deeper side skirts, a full-width rear diffuser, and a large rear wing all contribute to genuine downforce. Pagani generated up to 1,102 lbs of downforce at 155 mph — meaningful real-world grip that translates directly into how stable and planted the car feels in Forza Horizon 6 at speed.
2016 Pagani Huayra BC Coupe — Full Performance Stats in FH6
Here is the complete breakdown of the Huayra BC’s stock performance figures in Forza Horizon 6:
- Performance Index (PI): S2 — 851
- Price: 3,600,000 CR
- Drivetrain: Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD)
- Rarity: Legendary
- Type: Hypercar
- Tyres: Semi-Slick
- Power: 740 hp (552 kW)
- Weight: 2,685 lbs (1,218 kg)
- Speed: 8.4
- Handling: 7.9
- Acceleration: 7.0
- Launch: 7.6
- Braking: 9.5
- Off-Road: 4.6
- Top Speed (in-game): ~238 mph (383 km/h)
- 0–60 mph: ~2.8 seconds
- 0–100 mph: ~5.6 seconds
The standout number is the braking stat of 9.5. At S2 851, that is one of the highest braking ratings in the class — higher than most S2 hypercars at the same PI, and only marginally behind the best braking cars in the entire game. This is not a coincidence. The real-world Huayra BC was engineered for circuit use, and Pagani invested heavily in the braking system. Carbon-ceramic brakes, aerodynamic assistance through front and rear downforce, and a lightweight body all contribute to stopping distances that are genuinely exceptional.
The speed rating of 8.4 and handling of 7.9 round out a stat sheet that is remarkably well-balanced for a road-legal S2 hypercar. The acceleration of 7.0 and launch of 7.6 are not class-leading numbers, but they are more than competitive at this PI range.
Engine and Technical Specs
The Huayra BC is powered by the M158 twin-turbocharged Mercedes-AMG V12 — the same engine family used in the standard Huayra, but upgraded significantly for the BC variant. Here is the full technical picture:
- Engine: 6.0L (M158) Twin-Turbocharged Mercedes-AMG V12
- Power: 740 hp (552 kW) at 6,200 rpm (Forza spec) / up to 764 PS (562 kW) real-world
- Torque: 737 lb·ft (1,000 Nm) at 4,000–6,500 rpm
- Transmission: 7-Speed Xtrac Sequential AMT — new electro-hydraulic actuation with carbon fibre synchronizers
- Drivetrain: Rear-Wheel Drive, mid-engine layout
- Chassis: Carbo-Titanium and Carbon Triax construction
- Suspension: Aeronautical-grade Avional aluminium wishbones
- Brakes: Carbon-ceramic — upgraded over the standard Huayra
- Tyres: Pirelli P Zero Corsa — 12 rubber compounds (road-spec); P Zero Trofeo R available (track-spec)
- Exhaust: Titanium sports exhaust — lower back pressure, substantially lighter than Huayra Coupe unit
- Aerodynamics: Front splitter, winglets, deep side skirts, full-width rear diffuser, large rear wing — up to 1,102 lbs downforce at 155 mph
- Weight: 2,685 lbs (1,218 kg) — 132 kg lighter than the standard Huayra
The Xtrac 7-speed transmission in the BC was developed entirely from scratch for this car — not carried over from the standard Huayra. It uses a new electro-hydraulic actuation system and carbon fibre synchronizers, resulting in faster, more precise gear changes. In Forza Horizon 6, this transmission character shows up as a car that feels crisp and immediate when shifting through the gears at high speed, particularly on Japan’s expressways.
How Does the Huayra BC Drive in FH6?
The Huayra BC is one of the most naturally satisfying hypercars to drive in the S2 class in FH6. Its braking of 9.5 is the defining characteristic — you can carry significantly more speed into corners than rivals, brake later, and still pull up cleanly. On circuits and mountain passes where braking points matter, this translates directly into faster lap times and more confident overtakes.
The handling of 7.9 at stock reflects a car that balances aerodynamic grip with genuine driver engagement. The real-world Huayra BC was noted for its ability to corner sharply while remaining predictable — a result of the downforce package working in harmony with the suspension geometry. In FH6, this comes through as a car that rewards commitment to corners rather than fighting the driver at the limit.
The RWD layout means you need clean throttle management on corner exit, particularly in slower sections. The semi-slick tyre fitment at stock helps significantly compared to a standard street tyre — the Huayra BC does not demand full race compounds to feel planted on dry tarmac. That said, upgrading to race tyres does improve grip noticeably and gives the suspension and downforce package more to work with.
On Japan’s expressways and mountain passes, the Huayra BC is in its element. The aerodynamic downforce keeps it stable at 200+ mph, the braking system allows late, aggressive entries into technical corners, and the twin-turbo V12 pulls cleanly through the upper rev range. For the best roads to experience all of this, our best roads and mountain passes guide covers every top route across Japan.
Pagani Huayra BC vs Other Pagani Models in FH6
FH6 has four Pagani cars. Here is exactly where the Huayra BC sits among them:
- Zonda Cinque Roadster — S2 812, 4,000,000 CR — Lower PI, weaker stats, and costs more. The open-top experience and Zonda heritage justify its price for collectors, but the Huayra BC beats it on every competitive metric. Our Zonda Cinque Roadster guide covers it in full.
- Pagani Huayra BC Coupe — S2 851, 3,600,000 CR — This guide. The strongest road-legal Pagani for S2 competitive racing at the best price in the Pagani lineup.
- Pagani Zonda R — R918, 4,750,000 CR — R-Class track car. Braking of 10, handling of 9.2. For R-Class events only and not road-legal in the real world.
- Pagani Huayra R — R954, 2,750,000 CR — The best-handling R-Class car in the game. Cheaper than both the Zonda R and the Cinque Roadster while sitting in the top performance class. Our full Pagani Huayra R guide covers everything.
The Huayra BC is the best value pick in the Pagani S2 lineup. It costs less than the Zonda Cinque Roadster, sits higher in PI, has stronger competitive stats across the board, and is the clear choice for anyone racing in S2 events rather than collecting for prestige alone.
Huayra BC vs Key S2 Rivals
Beyond the Pagani family, here is how the Huayra BC compares to other relevant S2 cars at similar PI:
- Koenigsegg One:1 — S2 890 — Higher PI and faster top speed, but costs 3,750,000 CR and has weaker braking. The One:1 is the faster straight-line machine; the Huayra BC is the stronger circuit car. Our Koenigsegg One:1 guide covers the comparison in detail.
- Koenigsegg Agera RS — S2 890 — Stronger top speed and PI, but similar price range. For pure highway runs the Agera RS edges ahead; for circuit and braking-heavy events the Huayra BC holds its own.
- Ferrari FXX-K Evo — R-Class — A class above in R, but comparable in feel to what the Huayra BC offers in S2. If you want to step up, our FXX-K Evo guide is the next logical read.
Is the Pagani Huayra BC Worth Buying?
Yes — the Huayra BC is one of the best S2 purchases in FH6 across any manufacturer, not just Pagani.
Buy the Huayra BC if:
- You want the best S2 braking stat in the Pagani family — 9.5 is exceptional at any PI.
- You race in S2 circuit and road events where late braking and high-speed cornering create the margins.
- You want a Legendary Pagani that delivers competitive results without crossing into R-Class.
- You enjoy cars with outstanding aerodynamic packages — the Huayra BC’s downforce is genuinely felt in FH6.
- You want the most complete Pagani road car in the game. The BC has better stats than the Cinque Roadster at a lower price.
Consider alternatives if:
- You want maximum top speed in S2 — the Koenigsegg One:1 and Agera RS sit at PI 890 and pull harder at the top end.
- You want AWD traction for launch consistency — the Huayra BC is RWD and requires clean throttle management. Our best cars for every class guide covers strong AWD S2 alternatives.
- You are early in the game and not yet at S2 events. See our best starter cars guide first, and our credits farming guide to build toward 3.6 million CR efficiently.
Best Events for the Pagani Huayra BC
The Huayra BC’s strengths — braking, speed, aerodynamic stability — suit a specific set of event types in FH6:
- S2 circuit races — Technical circuits where late braking and high-speed cornering confidence matter most. The 9.5 braking stat is at its most valuable here.
- Highway and expressway races — A top speed of 238 mph and strong aerodynamic stability make the Huayra BC a natural on Japan’s expressways. Our best roads guide covers every fast stretch across the map.
- Speed traps and speed zones — The 8.4 speed rating and semi-slick tyre compound give it the performance to post competitive times consistently.
- Mountain pass races — The downforce and braking combination makes the Huayra BC genuinely dangerous through Japan’s technical mountain roads. For touge-specific event tips, our Touge Battle Mode guide is worth reading alongside this.
- Goliath and long-distance S2 events — The Huayra BC has the pace and the braking consistency to compete over long distances. Our Goliath Race guide covers strategy for the biggest events in the game.
- Seasonal playlist S2 events — Weekly S2 capped events are ideal for the Huayra BC. Our seasonal events guide covers what is available each week.
Upgrade Tips for the Pagani Huayra BC
The Huayra BC is already well-rounded at stock. Here are the key upgrade areas to prioritise:
- Tyres — The car comes on semi-slicks at stock, which is already a step above most S2 rivals at standard. Moving to full race compounds unlocks another level of grip and allows the existing downforce and braking system to work even more effectively.
- Suspension tuning — The Avional aluminium wishbone suspension responds well to tuning. Stiffening the springs slightly for circuit use and lowering the ride height improves aerodynamic efficiency and sharpens direction changes.
- Differential — A well-tuned rear diff is essential for managing the power of a 740 hp RWD car. Setting acceleration bias to around 50–60% and deceleration low gives better corner entry rotation while maintaining stability on exit.
- Weight reduction — At 2,685 lbs the BC is already one of the lighter S2 hypercars, but removing further weight improves the power-to-weight ratio and the car’s responsiveness through technical sections.
- Engine upgrades — The M158 twin-turbo V12 has headroom above its stock 740 hp figure. Intake, exhaust, and engine internals can push power higher while the semi-slick/race tyre setup and downforce package manage the extra output effectively.
- Aerodynamics — If body kit options allow front and rear aero adjustment, fine-tuning the balance — more front for technical circuits, more balanced for high-speed tracks — gets the most from the car’s existing downforce architecture.

The Huayra BC in the Forza Series
The Pagani Huayra BC Coupe first appeared in the Forza franchise in Forza Horizon 3 as part of The Smoking Tire Car Pack. It has been a standard inclusion in every main Forza title since. It was officially revealed for Forza Horizon 6 on March 25, 2026, though it had appeared in official pre-release media before that date.
A Forza Edition variant exists — featuring a black paint job, a unique body kit, an S2 998 Performance Index, and a Clean Skills boost. The Forza Edition appeared in Forza Horizon 5 primarily as a Wheelspin reward, also appearing in the Forzathon Shop and as a Series reward at various points. Whether it returns in FH6 in the same form is worth tracking through the seasonal rewards system — our Reward Pass guide keeps tabs on what is available across seasons.
