Huayra Details

I photographed one of these last year and the design details are in a different league to most other supercars. IMO the interior is the most stunning of any car. They're expensive, but you really get what you pay for.

With all of the fuss about the LaF, 918 and P1 the poor old Huayra seemed to have been forgotten about and certainly outgunned in terms of performance and made to look very old fashioned tech wise.

I don't think all that really matters to be honest. Its more of an exquisite object than a car. You would get a massive amount of pleasure just owning it and looking at it rather than just having the latest and greatest.

Pagani creates art on wheels - there is no doubt about that.

I've spent some time at the factory and the detail on his cars is just incredible.

I honestly look at these cars and with the number sold, design and bespoke nature often wonder if they actually make any money on them! Is Horacio some kind of benevolent billionaire?

Pagani has just sold its 100th Huayra so in terms of numbers sold, for a small bespoke company they do very well. Plus his business model is simple but very clever, he uses a number of much larger suppliers to produce parts for the car, that way he does not have huge capital expenditure apart from during the design phase. He can leverage the economies of scale his suppliers have in his favour

Interesting and thanks for the reply.......100 is more than I'd imagined....didn't they sell little more than a 100 Zonda's.


These are my dream cars. I can look at the detail in them for days on end...

They also make a lot of cash from upgrading cars. I went to the factory a couple of years ago for the tour and they said that a lot of people take their cars back to be serviced but it was rare for owners to just have the standard service done without having upgrades done at the same time. I think Harry Metcalf spent a fortune on new Zonda F parts for his S when he took it there.

Yes sales have gone very well, but for some strange reason not in the UK where the Zonda sold very well. In all about 150+ Zonda's were built.

Sales of the Huayra will take a leap when the roadster version of the Huayra is released, which I think is expected next year. You should also expect an F versions of the Standard Huayra some time soon. The current engine is running a very low state of tune so has huge potential for AMG to hike the power. This will not only usher in a new model but you can bet current owners will return their cars for the upgrades. This is the great thing about Pagani's, their upgradeability which provides a very good additional revenue stream.
