and .. Pagani Huayra: First Video

Small complement to the article on the new Pagani Huayra with a first video that we owe to Evo Magazine introduces us to the car but statically with the revelation of its 6.0 L V12 engine over 700 horsepower.

Now official: it's Pagani Huayra

After many speculations and informal poor photos online, Pagani officially presented Huayra.
The new supercar that was created to replace the Zonda, named after the god of wind (as the Indians of the Andes), Aymara Huayra Tata.

New Pagani Huayra has softer features of the Zonda, but the silhouettes of the two cars are similar. A novelty in this model of Pagani are two doors type of gull wing "that facilitate access to the interior, where we see quite an impressive place.

The new model of Italian sports car manufacturer has created a frame made of titanium and carbon, and body panels is made of carbon fiber and fiber glass.

All the cars in the creation of materials are lightweight, which helps the weight of Huayra be 1350 kg engine is located behind the passenger cabin, this is a V12 bi-turbo with a volume of 6.0 liters, designed specifically for Pagani division of AMG at Mercedes-Benz .

Here are new pictures, always from the same source (the Spanish edition of Car Magazine), allowing us to tour the owner, including indoors in the cabin of a car that seems inspired by the shapes of a Ferrari Enzo.

For the moment, and while there is usually a teaser to discover, Pagani does not react to these leaks. No doubt he will wait until early next week for a full formalization because waiting is meaningless.

Note that the new Pagani Huayra should be produced to twenty units per year and costs one million euros.

New Pagani Huayra - is this? and a new teaser No: 4

For some time we are eagerly awaiting the sequel to Zonda. Through slick teaser videos Pagani let us gradually discover this new-fangled supercar, also called Huayra. Since the weather seven days ago that we were presented last, the teaser for the fourth time today. But what we see on our screen suddenly appear? An official photo of the Pagani Huayra?

The Zonda has left a great impression in the world but now supercars, the Pagani future through another model being announced even better. We do not yet know his name permanently even if strong grounds for suspecting the term "Huayra. After two teasers, the last was released last week, here's a third.

New images, a look that reveals itself more and more refined and that appears but in line with the Zonda. Notice the surprising location of mirrors which are located on the front fenders and doors and not on the car seems very broad

Pagani Zonda R

While we certainly cannot say the Zonda F lacks performance figures, driving around the Nürburgring in 7:32 and achieving lateral G forces of almost 1.5 G, it is however a road car, easy to drive, intuitive and setting the benchmark for comfort, safety and lightweight. Paired with a quality finish and the attention to detail this made the Zonda F one of the most desirable supercars resulting in the 25 Coupé models being sold out in record time.

This did not seem to fulfil the requirements of our most demanding customers, who adore the weekend drive on a racetrack.


The spark has been set by an Italo-American customer, enthusiast and already proud owner of 3 Zondas. He describes the project this way: "The thought has been on my mind for quite some time, but I am not interested in racing".

The Zonda R is born with full liberty. The target: the ultimate performance at the racetrack without any implications of rules, except for safety, where no compromise is allowed. In September 2006 the first drawings were ready, but it was crucial to have the support of Mercedes-AMG for a high revving engine with a power output of 750hp, dry sump, light and
with a low centre of gravity. The basis was the self supporting engine of the mighty CLK GTR, which has dominated the GT championships.

Eve at constant racing pace the engine would have to cover over 5.000 km before servicing. The challenge has been accepted without hesitation.

The Zonda R is a car designed from scratch, with only 10% of the Zonda F components to be carried over. The suspension forged in Avional, a new Pagani six speed transversal sequential gearbox, carbon fibre monocoque, aeronautical four pump fuel tank are only part of the equation.


The wheelbase has grown by 47mm, the overall length by 394 mm and the track is increased by 50mm. The bodywork and aerodynamics have been studied to offer maximum downforce. Even though built for the track, the project would not have received kick off, if the quality and finish of the car and its details was not up to the level of the Pagani road cars.

One of the first cars to be delivered however will be kept in a living room, designed by Pagani and built with the same materials as the Zonda F, beautifully textured carbon fibre, avional, titanium, inconel and other state of the art materials. Additionally it will feature a bespoke HiFi System that will allow the customer to listen to the sound of this car at Le Mans and the Nürburgring.

The Pagani customers who have ordered the Zonda R will be relieved of almost 1.2 million + taxes.


This Zonda is purpose made for track use, without restrictions of any competition rules or homologation, with the only exclusion of the passengers’ integrity, where no compromise is tolerated according to our philosophy and state-of-the-art safety measures are featured.

A new heart
The engine is built by the racing specialists at Mercedes AMG, where the championship winning DTM cars are born, as well as the CLK GTR, probably the most devastating and effective weapon ever to compete in the GT series. From it’s engine the Zonda R borrows the basic architecture including an ingenious dry sump allowing a low centre of gravity. This self-supporting engine with 750 hp at 8000 rpm and 710 Nm of torque carries a lightweight carbon fibre highperformance intake system, a racing multiple disc sintered clutch and Formula 1 style exhaust system, hydroformed in Inconel 625 and ceramic coated for optimal heat dissipation. The power unit combined with a 6 speed transversal manual sequential synchronised gearbox is designed to satisfy the most ambitious drivers.

The chassis
The central carbon chassis will incorporate a roll cage and a rubber racing fuel tank with 4 fuel pumps and quick refuel filler like on GT race cars. The wheelbase has been increased by 47mm to offer the best stability. The front and rear subframes are brand-new, built to accommodate a new suspension geometry, produced in avional. The magnesium forged rims with central wheel nut and a quick pneumatic lifting system allows fast and effortless changes of the slick tyres.


Bodywork and aerodynamics
The new bodywork has been honed to offer elevated downforce even in low speed corners. The longer front bonnet with flaps, closed underbody and the rear overhang with the adjustable rear wing and race derived diffusor translate into shattering aerodynamic efficiency and will let you experience cornering speeds beyond imagination.

The car displays and logs information about the amount of dowforce that the car is generating at each moment. Combined with the adjustable wings you can easily find the best setup for each track.

Workstation
The interior is designed to accommodate the driver and passenger in bespoke seats, built to offer the best support, when the G-forces from the vehicle dynamics come into question. The Digitek instrumentation provides the essential information and a sophisticated telemetry allows through a variety of sensors to monitor every single component of the car.
