Pagani Huayra BC etymology: What does its name mean?

The Pagani Huayra BC is an extensively updated of the hypercar that was launched in 2012, but what does the BC in its name stand for? It’s not biblical, although being in one might cause the expulsion of some biblically themed expletives.


No, the Pagani Huayra isn’t fast enough to send you, somehow, hurtling backwards through time to the era before Jesus Christ.

The BC tacked on to the end of the updated-for-2016 Pagani Huayra is actually in recognition of Benny Caiola. He was the first person to buy a car from Pagani Automobile.

More than that, the company states that Beeny was “a person who has greatly inspired Horacio Pagani over the years”. The feeling was apparently mutual that Benny “was so impressed by the passion and technology of the cars Horacio was designing from the very beginning” that he wanted to be first the person in the galaxy to pay for the privilege of owning one.
