Pagani Huayra Images Leaked

Spanish magazine scans hit the web, showing brand-new Pagani for the first time

---

These appear to be the first undisguised images of Pagani's eagerly anticipated replacement for the Zonda.

Pagani is continuing to be all coquettish and coy about its new supercar - having just released yet another of its teaser videos (see bottom of article) - but it seems that the internet has got fed up waiting.

These scans, apparently taken from the February edition of the Spanish version of Car magazine and posted up on autoblog.es not only show the new car in its final form ahead of the car's official unveiling, but they also seem to confirm the new car's name as 'Huayra' (at least if the opening spread of the article, simply headlined 'Pagani Huayra' is any indication...).

There are also other interesting morsels of info to be had on the Huayra (if your Spanish is good enough, or you use the magic of Google Translate): it seems that Pagani plans to build 20 examples a year of the new car and sell 'em for a cool million euros a pop (£850k). That's a lot of cash, but it will get you a 690bhp V12 and a 250mph top speed.

This is all second- or third-hand information, of course, but we should find out how much of it is right when Pagani finally releases some official info on its new baby in a few days time...

Well, that's disappointing.

[ZOLLAR]

Horrible

[TommyBuoy]

As above, not sure on the front 'grill'

[Oddball RS]

Hmmmmmmm thats why they leaked the photos, too break it to us slowly, eewwwwwww........... aint no looker is it?

[300KPH]

Eh it looks a lil similar to their outgoin model

[Milks]

agree

the appeal of the zonda (for me) was its somewhat retro angular styling. This is just a smoothed off zonda. Far less distinctive

I really hope it's a fake

"690bhp V12 and a 250mph top speed"

If that's what the Spanish press says then I don't believe a word of their article. Are they the Spanish equivalent of Auto Express?

[Jordan210]

hmm the back lights are nice... Just drive around in reverse so no one can see that front grill ?

[jr502]

That rear end is horrible.

+1 With any luck it's one of those "autocar artist's impression" type images.

[bob1179]

I suppose it is 'evolutionary' rather than 'revolutionary'.

I wish them all the best with it, it will probably be one hell of a drive!

[Roberty]

Just looks like a Zonda with all the pointy bits knocked off.

Dissappointing at best.


Or is it just another one off Zonda?

[Shinobi]

Dissapointing, but the Zonda is a very hard act to follow let alone better.

[RB Will]

To be fair to them it was always going to be hard to top the Zonda.

Not impossible, but it ain't gonna handle all that well if that's the case. There's no way you make meaningful downforce if you want to do that in a road car.

Oh, and it looks like about six styling steps backwards.

Thirded.

[W00DY]

If I had the cash I'd be buying up Zondas right about now.

*Wonders what happened to Yes car finance*

[Corsair7]

Will look better when they put the chuffin big rear wing on it....


even if it deosnt need one.

[FourWheelDrift]

This is the test mule used last year, I think the Spanish have smoothed it up. There's no way it would look so similar to the production car that they have been keeping a secret.

They have just guessed what it will look like I think.
