GENEVA: Italian hypercar maker Horacio Pagani revealed that his firm is working on its first electric model.

For its successor to the Pagani Huayra, the automaker is developing a new vehicle codenamed C10, which isn't expected to see the light of day before 2021, he told Road & Track. 

According to Pagani, the forthcoming model would come in two versions — one with a "traditional" V12 twin-turbo engine sourced from Mercedes-AMG, and the other would be fully electric.

Pagani sees electric as a new challenge — one which will no doubt prove expensive, but which will also respond to a certain demand. A hybrid version of the vehicle does not appear to be on the cards. All the model needs now is a name.

Currently present at the Geneva Motor Show in Switzerland, the manufacturer is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its Zonda C12. Pagani is expected to present a Roadster version of its Huayra BC later this year.
