This is the Pagani Huayra, the successor to the Zonda, named after Aymara Huayra Tata, a South American Andean god of wind which supposedly commands the winds, hurricanes and blizzards. The design is easily identifiable as a Pagani, from the forward cab shape to the rear end which shows off its quad tailpipe design.
The Huayra’s monocoque is built of carbon-titanium, and to access the cockpit you lift up gill wing doors that take up quite a good portion of the roof. The whole vehicle weighs just 1,350kg dry, with the full exhaust system constructed with titanium weighing less than 10kg.
The 85 litre fuel tank is positioned in a protected reinforced area behind the “pilot”, and when you hear how much horsepower this baby makes you’ll understand why a total of 85 litres of fuel per tank is needed. Two microprocessor-controlled fuel pumps send fuel to the engine in precise amounts.
At the heart of the new Pagani Huayra is a Mercedes-Benz AMG 60 degree V12 with 5,930cc of displacement designated to M158, and thanks to two turbochargers it makes over 700 horsepower and torque of over 1,000Nm. That’s a huge torque upgrade over the Zonda R’s 710Nm, but that’s to be expected thanks to the forced induction.
Two radiators cool the motor down, and the turbos pump air through an intercooler mounted above the cylinder head. Pagani is especially proud of the fact that the cooling system can handle ambient temperatures as high as 50 degrees Celcius found in areas like Death Valley.
Power goes to the wheels via an Xtrac 7-speed sequential AMT gearbox weighing 96kg. Pagani says they experimented with a twin clutch system which is the trend nowadays but the idea was scrapped because the twin clutch system would lead to a weight gain of 70kg, negating the effects of the slightly faster shifts.
Look after the jump for a full hi-res gallery of the new Huayra.

This is a piece of art….
Porn on wheel :D
Richard Hammond sure likes this…
he wont if he can’t reach the door handle to close the door
what a beasttttt
that pair of side mirrors
are they not interfering with whatever aerodynamic airflow bla bla bla?
and
are they not going to break
when this catfish goes 200miles per hour?
i suppose the logic of having a new car
is it suppose to be better than the last one
it seems in term of side mirrors
for me the last one a bit more stable
and look good
i dont have any problem
with the catfish image
infact i wouldnt mind if
it designed to look like elton john
or
linda lovelace
The wing mirrors are quite similar to those seen on the Zonda F.
The original wing mirrors that were mounted to the top of the A-pillars in the first two Zonda variants the C12 and C12 S, were later found to be aerodynamically bad for the car.
Thus the decision was to move it down and mount it on the front wheelarches in the F and R versions.
Besides if the wing mirrors themselves are light-weight those tiny mounts should have no problems coping with the force of the wind.
With little weight there wouldn’t be much inertia to flex the mounts.
RM 162 for full tank T.T
That’s really cheap for a car like ths although it wun last that long.can afford the fuel,but the car and maintenance??sheesh~
Alpha is right.
I just read about the bugatti veyron few days ago, you need more than RM900 for full tank.
that man paid for uk price..not bolehland
nvm.. go petrol station isi rm20 only… ^_^
And that’s just the total amount you’re paying if it’s RON95, right? With this Italian hypercar, it’s almost definite you gotta’ pump in some RON99 fuel.
oh boy the doors is way up high
kena lompat-lompat on the seat if you want to shut it from inside after nicely sit and ready to burn some rubber; unless they provide an auto shut system
It’ll cost more than khir toyo’s house thats for sure…. hahahahaha, just kidding..
Mitsuoka orochi comes to mind when it comes to the exterior styling, it is beastly, but acceptable because we know pagani makes really good cars…
The Interior is simply a magical place to be in , the level of detail is astonishing…
Can’t wait for this car to make an appearance on Topgear ,
Hiratio Pagani is one awesome man!
Huayra…is it chinese? Sounds like it.
at first glance the front looks a bit like ferrari enzo ^^
wah, i actually find the interior quite sexy leh!
This is what a supercar should look like; weird and whacky. Well, that what Richard Hammond said about the Zonda. With this, he’ll go bonkers!
You know, that seat adjuster on the middle of the seat is a piece of sex toy. For the ladies, off course. Hahaha.
fullaammaaaaKK!!!
giler la..
One of those few brands whose creator is still around. Mr Pagani is from south america, and he still is very involved in the designing of his vehicles. He has visited malaysia before and went to have a look at Proton’s facilities.
Paul, quick question, why is there a toyota in the photo gallery, does it come free with the pagani?
Is that a AC ventilation to cool down driver’s (ball ball). lol
No, that is seat adjuster. More like sex toy for ladies. Hehehe.
paul. if u but this u get toyota free?
nothing much changes compare to the zonda in exterior…wonder why they dont name it pagani tata..lol
the side mirror reminds me of motorbike side mirror..lol
the interior makes me orgasm…. >L<
still look like Zonda, like a Gen2 been refurbish as Persona.
There is a BTCC Toyota Avensis in the gallery, Paul. Perhaps it’s due to the mid-night effect …
Simply ugly. Well, at least in my opinion. But the iinterior is damn sexy though.
i think the interior is overdone with all those colours… metal, brown leather, and black… that’s too much…
hey whats that thing on the seats
