Pagani Huayra taken for a spin by Horaccio Pagani [with videos]
It can be the most flamboyant and most exotic supercar you can drive today if you also have a bank account to have it delivered to your garage. And by money we mean tons of it. We are referring to the Pagani Huayra which is the successor of the supercar Pagani Zonda.
There was recently a special event organized by the supercar maker in Sardinia for owners of Pagani vehicles. One lucky soul that was invited to the event was Harry Metcalfe of EVO magazine. He was not able to drive the Pagani Huayra but was on the passenger seat as Horaccio Pagani took the Huayra for a spin.
The footage provides you with an amazing pseudo supercar ride experience. Listen to that engine with a perfect blend of poise and power:
The Pagani Huayra was first unveiled to the public during the motor show in Geneva last March. Huayra is actually named after the South American god of the winds. Initial reviews were critical of the wide mouth in front and the odd placement of the rear lights. But of course a Pagani is a Pagani and acceptance sets in as people realize what the car is all about—beauty and speed.
Looking at the Huayra and the Zonda, the predecessor was more on the graceful design lines but the Huayra veers away from the usual architecture and went for a more aerodynamic and wacky look.
The supercar of course walks the talk. The car can give out 700 horsepower from its 6.0 V12 twin turbo powerplant and can reach a top speed of 230 miles per hour or 370 kilometers per hour. The Pagani Huayra tips the scale at 2,976 pounds or 1,350 kilograms.
Here are some more videos used by Pagani before prior to the Pagani Huayra’s official launch:
