Liking this more and more. Looks very, very rapid in this clip. Induction noise a bit iffy although the camera's mic probably isn't doing it any favours.

A bit cheeky of them to fade out with Horacio's "ehm.." too wink

I am LOVING the turbo noise, it sounds incredible smile

Not quite the refined serenity of a Lambo etc when off boost or anything (gearbox whine etc), but jesus what a complete animal!

I like the active aero, very cool. But that is about it at the moment, I'm finding it hard to warm to this car, a lot of the styling is quite vanilla compared to the Zonda, so those outrageous extravagant wing mirrors look out of place. Also the sound of the turbos is quite ott and seems to drown out any music the engine is making, but maybe that is the way it was recorded.

Was standing behind it when it started up as FoS and it sounded great. Will watch the vid when I get home as it's blocked at work frown

Looking around for shots of the car and found this angle. Warming to this machine rapidly, even though the bark of a n/a V12 would have been the icing on the amazingly detailed cake.

It overall styling still looks 'awkward', those active aero bits are a bit 'kit' IMHO although that noise in the video almost makes up for it. I love the detailing though, it shows a lot of care and attention have gone in to it

I was up close and personal with it at Goodwood too - it's overall styling didn't float my boat then, and hearing it go up the hill was very underwhelming. It was good to hear it when it has really been given the beans though and leptoning it on an open road in the video though

I think the turbos sound awesome, but its no Zonda. The overall styling of the Huayra is growing on me though.

I stuck my head in the one at GoodWood and whilst the interior is beautiful (and it really is) the Sat Nav display looked shockingly cheap and tacky.

Cant make my mind up, Pagani has certainly gone a bit Max Power ^ with this one.

Might warm to it after I see some proper review features.

All I can hear is transmission whine, turbo hiss and grit pinging off the tub. Engine? Not so much.

I LOVE the noise. Well, the turbo noise anyway, but I can understand why plenty don't seem to. The transmission whine seemed a bit much.

Looks wise, I still don't like it. I've warmed to certain bits of it but I hate others. It just doesn't look right as a complete package to me. The interior is much the same story, the materials are lovely, and I'm sure they're beautifully done, but the clocks are awful, the centre console is awful, and that 'key' is almost as comically bad as the dildo handbrake.
The active aero is a nice idea, but it's ugly as sin, and while I do like the thought of driving along and seeing the car constantly adapting and moving around as it sees fit, the reality is it just reminds me of every cheap and nasty flight I've ever taken where I've had the view blocked by the wing.

Acceleration looks bloody impressive, and I dare say if they string this one out anywhere near as long as they did with the Zonda there'll be improved, beefed up sexy versions a-plenty, which will probably change my mind on it. I've warmed to it a lot more than I first expected to, but the design still doesn't do it for me, but I think it's a grower.

Agreed. The engineering is like a piece of industrial artwork. Just stunning.

Blimey! Thats quite a noise. Imo the whistle is too loud. The speed -OMG! and i'm not sold on the looks. I prefer the Zonda, but love the inside, as i did the Zonda.

Having now watched the video I can confirm it does sound so much better in real life
