Pagani Huayra

 Pagani Huayra

Horacio Pagani is a neat little man with a shock of silver hair carefully prepared, owlish wire-rimmed glasses, and a tendency to quote Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci. He also built one of the most singular supercar in the world. The Pagani Zonda made its debut at the 1999 Geneva show, and was impressed with the quality, performance, and surprisingly well sorted chassis and powertrain. The Pagani Huayra - that's pronounced "h-wire-a" - is the long-awaited successor to the Zonda. And the good news is, despite last-minute hitch over two-stage airbags, this 230-mph road rocket will be sold in the United States first car - Pagani took 12 orders for $ 1.2 million (base price) Huayra the Pebble Beach weekend - scheduled to arrive in 2013.
Huayra is powered by a mid-mounted, twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter V-12 specially built for Pagani by AMG that develops more than 700 hp and 740 lb-ft of torque. Drive is fed to the rear wheels via a seven-speed transverse, single-clutch automated manual transmission built by Xtrac. Pagani Huayra Huayra front Three Quarters features an all-new chassis with monocoque made of titanium-infused carbon fiber center, and the wheelbase has been stretched 2.8 inches during this Zonda. Suspension is pure race car thing: control arms are made of copper-rich aluminum alloy called Avional, with pushrod-actuated Ohlins shocks. Carbon brakes by Brembo - channeling air through the intercoolers to warm them in the winter - and PZeros tires specially developed by Pirelli to cope not only with the Huayra top speed, but his ability to pull 1.5 g through corners.
The carbon bodywork styled by Pagani himself, and features active aerodynamics - flaps at each corner of the car that can move independently and change the downforce according to input from sensors that measure speed, lateral and longitudinal acceleration, roll, and the steering angle. The suspension will also automatically lower the nose to increase downforce corners of the car and the speed of the attack. Pagani Huayra Huayra Top View The fit and finish, and attention to detail, amazing Horacio exceed standards set by the Zonda. Exposed shifter linkage itself included in an art museum. Calling instrument made from the same material used to make the Patek Philippe watch face, a set of four costs almost $ 9000. There are 1200 titanium bolt on the car. It cost 80 dollars. Every. The Huayra, Pagani said, was inspired by the idea of ​​roadgoing jet, and he spent a lot of time tuning the sound turbocharged V-12 is the intake so it sounds like the F-15 spooling up when you get gas.
Huayra hard drive along mountain roads and whistles and screaming and psssshhttts like psychotic calliope. It sounds like no other car, which is appropriate, because more than Enzo Ferrari or Lamborghini Ferrucio, the Pagani Huayra is a magnificent obsession with one person writing great - a combination that is truly unique of art and technology.
