"Pagani has finally revealed its much rumoured and much anticipated successor to the Zonda: Top Gear fans, meet the Pagani Huayra.

The Huayra, pronounced h-wire-a, is only the second model to emerge from Pagani, and features a twin-turbo 6.0-litre AMG V12 producing 730bhp and 811lb ft of torque.

Pagani hasn't released performance figures, but rest assured they will be lightly shattering; that 730bhp AMG V12 - made specifically for Pagani - only has to propel 1,350kg of Huayra, and the tyres are rated to 230mph.
At its heart, the Huayra's tub is constructed from Pagani's exclusive carbon-titanium, inside which sits that monster AMG engine and a bespoke seven-speed paddleshift transmission from Xtrac. The suspension is a race-type pushrod setup, with adjustable Ohlins dampers and aluminium alloy wishbones.
The tech on the Huayra reaches a veritable zenith with four individual computer-controlled flaps on the car's upper surfaces, allowing the downforce on each corner to be controlled. Yes, programmable downforce in a road-car.
It gets gullwing doors, and the central console inside is machined from a solid billet housing a multi-function screen. As you can see from the pics, the interior is a work of automotive art.
Mr Pagani also reckons the Huayra can achieve 23.5mpg on the combined cycle, which, taking into account everything you have just read, is nothing short of a marvel.
We've got the full scoop on this near £1 million Italian exotic in the new issue of Top Gear magazine, on sale now."

Who the fuck came up with that name? What happened to the days when the name was just as sexy as the car itself?

Testarossa, Diablo, Miura - Huayra???
 
"Huayra" is the manly grunting noise (think of a cross between a Tim Allen grunt and a Marine "Hooorah") you make as the car drives by and revs its engine because no words can possible describe the pure manliness of the machine.
 
"bespoke" and "seven-speed paddleshift transmission" are two phrases that aren't often seen together... but when they are you know defcon 5 badassery is sure to ensue
 
Even uglier than the original.

And "bespoke" is the stupidest word ever. British magazines and Top Gear use it to refer to everything, yet apparently it means "custom".... The transmission isn't custom, it comes with the freaking car. STFU WITH THE BESPOKE
 
Yawn. 1000+ hp is mandatory for super or hyper car status these days (see Veyron, Aero, etc). A 10 yr old Mercedes V12 is so 10 years ago.
 
I have always liked Paganis, they remind me of the Batmobile. That interior would look good in red leather, and I'm sure at that price they could figure out how to put it in.
 
I absolutely love Zonda. That car is beyond awesome in every way and is gorgeous. I think this version is bit more modern but I still think gen 1 is better looking car. But this new car is gorgeous too. I love it.

I believe they mean it's custom made by Mercedes for Pagani. The engine and transmission does not appear in any of Mercedes cars.

:awe:
 
Also, fark hyper cars. Super cars are at the top, not stupid hyper cars. Just because you think your car is cooler than the "super" cars of old, it is not.
