Looks a bit like the test driver that arrives at the restaurant, Davide Teste I think...

Looks great, but sounds crap, like a bus running over a dyson.

Once we have the Huayra, Koenigsegg Agera R, McLaren F1 sucessor, Ferrari Enzo sucessor, Porsche 918 Spyder, latest iteration of Gumpert Appollo, Henessey Venom GT Spyder, Aston Martin One-77, an Aventador for a budget option, throw in a Veyron Supersport/GSV as well and hey presto - the group test I would read for days if it was long enough to.

Could PH could run this as a competition prize? (Since it was my suggestion I should be the winner).

HowMuchLonger said: Silly question, but with the key you have to take the top off it (like a USB stick) in able to insert it. What happens to the top that you have removed? Haha I thought this as well! Wouldn't really want to be losing that. Also the key system itself looks to be the same thing as in Merc's, which would make sense because of the AMG engine. Thought I truly love the sound of the thing, the fact all '65 AMG' 's have a very similar noise, at least at start up and low revs, might be a little annoying for any prospective owners? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3BkOtKGA-0

A petrol-head's nirvana !! Breathtaking from 10:20 onwards. Harris breathlessly @ 11:40 "it's fast! it's fast" memorable.

D200 said: I am into my cars, but that thing doesn’t interest me in the slightest. Anything from hot hatches to more expensive stuff like AMG Mercs, M BMW’s, GTR’s Porsches and stuff like Ferrari’s and Lambo interest me. As whilst they are mostly all stupidly expensive they are within grasp of more people. And even if they aren’t it’s still possible to get to experience one. That pagini [and cars like the veyron etc] are ridiculous tacky cars made for the worst, most inhuman and basically nasty people with zero morals in the world. Like Arab oil barons. I met a few of them in the middle east when I worked there briefly and they are truly horrible people. Spoilt 18 yr old brats who wouldn’t let a friend take a photo of a Lambo he was sitting in. He said if you want a photo of it, buy your own! This from a brat who looked 18yrs old going by his stupid tash- this sums them and their mentality up. Pagani customers are people like this. And people like Bob Diamond and other bankers who ruined so many lives. Or dictators and the like. You have to be a complete  to buy one of them lol I couldn’t give a flying f k about this blingy over the top w ker mobile as I never will see one, never will drive one and couldn’t care less I’d be happy with a M3, C63, M5, GTR, 458, MP4-12C and even if I won a £140M in the euromillions I would never buy this car. It’s obscene and disgusting. So there Before anyone says you are on the wrong site etc etc no I am not. I watched all Harris vids and enjoyed most of them but these type cars don’t float my boat. FFS get over yourself

The AWD Lambo looks like a safer bet for a simple mortal like me: with 700 horsies on tap I'd like to a play just that bit safe when having fun. Not everyone is Chris Harris and Hamster looked like he had 'nuff fun with the Italian Beast.

This has probably been asked before but how do you pronounce Huayra ? Who Eye Rer ? I will need to know for when i walk into the local Pagani vendor to buy one each for me and the missus.  [the above is unlikely to happen]

Given the price differential and inherent rarity of Paganis, I would'nt be surprised if Aventadours would make a good courtesy cars when the Pagani goes in for a service. A bit like having your R8 serviced and being given a Golf for the day.;)

And the road was cordoned off probably. I doubt it was closed. Not much traffic in the Italian hills and all you need is a spotter on the corner to give you the thumbs up that all is clear.
