Pagani Huayra On Track - Video

'Starting, revving, acceleration and fly-bys' at Adria International

---

YouTube contributor Marchettino has posted approximately 4 minutes of reasons to lust after the new Pagani Huayra, after filming it on test at the Adria International Raceway in Italy.

We should probably thank AMG and Italy's equivalent of 'Mike the Pipe' for the (relatively) riotous noises, but the car itself looks and sounds a million dollars, we reckon. (Although given that Pagani's latest hypercar costs something in the region of a million pounds, does that mean there's room for improvement?)

Either way, if you have to ask, etc. For more spec go here first, or just click play...

Looks and sounds pretty great actually. The rear lights are still nasty though.

And the fart on the upchange is

Why do these people always get amateur numpties to film such things?

Indeed. What an earth is going on with that noise.

Ruins it in my opinion.

[BBS-LM]

Bloody hell, the new Pagani sounds terrible. Shame

[Goochie]

The rear end of this car is just hideous! It looks like some silver coloured bodywork has fallen off, leaving a big black rectangle exposed.

Shame they still haven't told us how to pronounce the name.

[Soovy]

It ain't no Zonda is it?

[richard300]

I like the car, and i like that it looks a little more subtle than the Zonda. No doubt it will perform and drive amazingly BUT a car like that should really make some spine tingling intoxicating sounds and i know its got a pair of turbo's robbing some aural quality but.....

I bet Pagani have a titanium super sport exhaust option available for something like £25,000 (because you just know that everyone would willingly pay for it to get the sound the car should have)

[P I Staker]

Is that a Dacia Sandero at 54 seconds?

[scubadude]

Seems unusually flatulent on gearchange?

(I still prefer the LFA auruals as far as recent motors go.)

[RJDM3]

Still looks like a fat blob of a car.

[Beefmeister]

The sound when it pulls away out of the pits is pretty epic, but just sitting there revving it's all whine and no drama.

Such a shame - when a Zonda F does that, boys turn into men.

[Davey S2]

Nice but is it really worth 4 times the price of the new Lambo Aventador?

Actually this is one of the better videos to relay the sound of an engine rather than all those obnoxious videos all over youtube trying to demonstrate the sounds of their new 'zorst' and think that the best way to do this is to stick the camera on the floor right behind the exhaust and then go and rev the tits off of whatever it is, bouncing it off the limiter whilst all you actually hear is just horrible horrible distortion.

No thanks.

This video was actually well made for an amateur.

[Chicane-UK]

Just doesn't have the looks of the Zonda.. it's really not a pretty car at all - reminds me of an Angler Fish!

Love the sound of the motor tho.. really deep and gutteral!

[gareth.e]

rather have a zonda...


edit:

They should have completely changed the shape.. Instead it will just live in the shadow of the zonda IMO

I predict that at some point in the car's life it will receive a facelift where the black bits become body coloured (and £50,000 more expensive).

[Luca Brasi]

Sounds nowhere near as good as the 7.3 engine. And that front end just looks ridiculous. Damn shame.

[Mr Whippy]

Form is nice, but some of the details are still a bit iffy. Hmmmm... hopefully a grower.

The trumping noise is weird.

[Wardy76]

It does sound like it's farting, and the wing mirrors look daft, but these are surely fixable. I reckon the noise when it's actually going is pretty awesome though...

[Nuppy]

Maybe its because I have to drive a VX Insignia, but I think that is pure automotive porn...
Agree that the Zonda looks and sounds better but this isn't a Zonds. Comparisons will be made, but if this is the hypercar future its all good.
Works for me..!
