The name Huayra means "god of the wind" and comes from the language of the Aymara, a South American mountain people. Lord of winds and storms, Horacio Pagani could not have come up with a better name for his new 700hp Pagani Huayra supercar. The Pagani Huayra's V12 AMG biturbo engine makes light work of the carbon and aluminum body, which weighs just 1350 kg.
Supercar Pagani Huayra - successor to the Zonda
For the first time, a Pagani supercar has a turbocharged engine in the rear. According to Pagani, the AMG V12 delivers 700 hp and 1000 Nm of torque to the rear axle. The Italian's technology is also a marvel, because the Huayra consists of over 4000 individual parts, engine and transmission not included.
More than seven years of development work have gone into the Pagani Huayra, which is impressively illustrated by the design of the monocoque. Special air channels have been integrated to keep the weight of the super athlete as low as possible. The V12 engine is supplied with fresh air via side coolers.
The future pilot of the Pagani Huayra super sports car sits in an elegant ambience and does not have to do without multimedia enjoyment. He controls the inner workings of the hot-blooded Italian via touch screens and controls. Pagani Automobili quotes the price of the Pagani Huayra as one million euros.
