The Pagani Huayra is a mid-engine sports car produced by Italian sports car manufacturer Pagani, succeeding the company's previous offering, the Zonda. It is named after Wayra Tata, the Quechua wind god.

After 2 years of development, the Huayra Roadster was officially unveiled at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show.

The overall appearance of the car has changed, with the most obvious being the removable top. The design of the rear is also different, with new eyelid-like fixed flaps that continue with the design and eventually end on the rear lights. The rear engine cover also has a new shape to adapt to the roadster form and now has vents for efficient cooling. The wheels are unique and specifically constructed for the car. The car has conventional doors instead of the Gull-wing doors of the coupé as they are impossible to fit on an open-top car while maintaining the low weight.

The vehicle utilizes the same twin-turbocharged M158 V12 engine as the coupé, but it now has a total power output of 754 hp at 6,200 rpm and 738 lbf⋅ft of torque at 2,400 rpm. All of this power is delivered to the rear wheels via a 7-speed automated manual transmission by Xtrac. The car now uses a hydraulic and electronic activation system with carbon synchronizers. Bosch has also contributed to the construction of the car and the car uses its ECU system. The weight is now 154 lb lighter, for a total of 2,820 lb, making it the first roadster lighter than the coupe version. Only 100 will be made, all of which have already been sold. The tire supplier is Pirelli, with P-Zero tires. The tire has a white narrow outline, resembling that of an F1 race car. Pagani has also used a new material for the Roadster called carbon triax, which is a tri-axis fiberglass meshed with carbon-fiber power bands.
