Definately a step backwards! In a strange way the rear end reminds me of the Vauxhall VX220.

[deevlash]

I cant see one angle where it looks better really.

[k-ink]

My opinion stands since the original thread on it...

It's not bad per se - it's just not as good as the Zonda.

[davepoth]

You'll need to give it some time I think - you have to remember that the Zonda did change many people's ideas of what a supercar was supposed to look like.

[R.P.M]

A true example of designing to the tastes of the Middle East.

In the instance, I look forwards to seeing what visual 'improvements' the likes of Mansory can conjure up.

I'm afraid I would take a Zonda over the Huayra. Although I'm not fortunate enough to be in a position to be making that decision anyway...!

[OwenK]

After some serious consideration I reckon it's the light clusters (front and rear) that are ruining it. Because they are so similar to the Zonda's (trying to retain some brand styling characteristics), you end up comparing the car directly to the Zonda, and as such the higher nose and floaty rear lights make it feel like a poor imitation. If they had gone in a different direction with the light clusters, and made something totally new again - you wouldn't be making the same DIRECT comparison, and the look wouldn't be so initially repellent.

Think of Cameron Diaz with a bigger nose. Your initial thought is that she looks stupid with a bigger nose as if she's had an allergic reaction, etc etc. However, another equally pretty girl (but not a famous one!) with the same enlarged nose would not look strange at all, because you have no preconceptions as to how she should look.

Pistonheads - overanalysing design matters

Mouth is to large.
Lights make it look like a deformed spider.
Rear clusters look like they were designed by my 3 month old grandson.

As has been stated up the page its not horrific per se but the zonda
is MUCH nicer to look at.

Some more, and better, pics...

[marcosgt]

Not bad, but it doesn't promote WANT the way a Zonda does.

Maybe it'll do 40MPG

M.

PS Does anyone else think the driver's seat looks wide enough for two Europeans or one average sized American?

I have to be honest, that is growing on me know seeing some good shots of it. Still more a fan of the Zonda but if they were giving this away i would still be a pretty happy camper!!!!!

[Pixel-Snapper]

Give a month after release and there will be a special edition with all the wings and sticky out bits on.....

That said it's growing on me, looks more refined than the old one.

Think if I had the money I'd have one of each please.

[Rawwr]

I think the problem is that it looks like a Zonda with a bodykit.

[Roboraver]

If it had a tail wing then it would be growing on me, but it doesn't and looks quite hmmmmmm cant put my finger on it.

Ponce.

[Hitch78]

I think that it is awesome. Elegant and potent. Want.

[epom]

its just the front of it that i cant seem to like.... i must say the only thing that used to put me off the old one, was that the rear spoiler used to look a small bit aftermarket (yes i know i'm talking about a zonda) so i like the clean look at the back....

Thats probably my key dislike about it. The Zonda had plenty of theatre going on, but it also looked a bit raw and I liked that. I'm sure the Huayra will be a fantastic car and supercar fans given time will be raving about it, but for me it just looks all a little too civilised for my tastes.
