The Pagani Huayra – Gone With the Wind

Pagani replaces the Zonda with Huayra. Redefines awesome and creates one insane supercar

The Pagani Huayra. Gone With the Wind.

Today, images and information that were exclusive to print media surfaced online and we can now present the Pagani Huayra. Similar in design to the Zonda, the Huayra uses a Mercedes-sourced engine which has been developed in cooperation with AMG. It’s wrapped in an entirely new chassis which is shorter and made with some of the same techniques as the Zonda R. Naturally, Pagani’s immaculate carbon-fibre weave is everywhere. Somewhat of a smiler, the Huayra isn’t an agressive design, but one that is thoroughly modern. It makes extensive use of active aerodynamics including movable front air extractors on the hood and active spoiler winglets on the rear deck.

PAGANI HUAYRA SUMMARY

The highlights include its acceleration (ludicrous), traction (amazing), steering (old school wonderful), braking (immense) and its grip mid corner. Arguably the most exclusive, best looking, best driving supercar there has ever been, Veyron included.
