RE: Pagani Huayra: Official Pics And Specs

[ph123]

Pure automotive fine art, just like the Zonda.
The work of a genius. Have you seen the factory? Tiny.

[silverthorn2151]

Simply stunning. Looks great from every angle in my view, even the front.

[clorenzen]

Looks like the F458 - just messier.

I can immagine what Pagani could have done if his brief was: make it smaller, more nimble, lighter, with better visibility- and make it naturally aspirated. IT would have been an amazing thing! alas this is none of the above and expensive. j

How do you pronounce Huayra?

Whoareya...

At £850,000 , hands up all of you reading who will definitely be buying one? So it will be an object we look at rather than drive.

[TrackSlagJames]

Looks gash compared to the Zonda

[Oelholm]

I have a feeling that if the front, eh, bar in the grill (if that makes any sense) was painted in the body colour, it wouldn't look as akward...

Though it must be said that these pictures are immensely better looking than those first posted! Guess it is a tad colour sensitive.

Single clutch paddle shift does not sound state of the art for a 850k car...

[DS240]

Like it, and it will look better in a different colour. Awful launch pic colour.

[Life Saab Itch]

Meh.

That does nothing for me, just the same as it's predecessor.

I'm a fan of flamboyance in supercars and the Zonda still stands as one of my all-time favourite cars. This, however, is most underwhelming. That front end is awful, like a woman with no chin, and I'm not overly keen on the back end either. I don't even think the gull-wing doors work on that car. What a shame; hopefully it'll be a grower. One thing's for sure though, it's going to be immensely quick! It should handle superbly too, going by the Zonda, and it looks like Pagani have kept up their knack for exquisite detailing.

looks like its begging for an F430/stratos style bodyshell makeover.

Looks like all that Zonda success has blunted Pagani's eye for design

[anniesdad]

It needs a front splitter......but that's about all.

[Agoogy]

Is the person thats driving it 9? or is it really that massive?

It seems every major supercar maker is following Porsch's'school of design (apart from Ferrari), not altogether appealing evolution over progressive revolution... shame.

How do you close the doors sitting down, they look very high.

That's the butler's job, you worry too much.

[Monty Python]

Bit too much Koeingsegg going on there with the cab-forward design and long rear deck. However, I guess if you use the same CFD program to do your aerodynamics on you'll probably end up with the same result.

It's a shame that car design is now done more and more by a computer than a real person, but I guess if you need to optimize drag and downforce without sacrificing speed then you need a computer to do it.

£850 for an ugly fish that does 0-60 in 3.5 seconds using a Merc engine? No thanks.The old one at least looked good.
