There’s a new Pagani on the road, ladies and gentlemen. The new Pagani Huayra has been officially revealed to the world, although few of us may ever see it in the flesh. The Huayra is the newest flagship of this boutique Italian sports car manufacturer, a name that will replace the equally-fun-to-say Zonda. Like its predecessor, the Pagani Huayra will be a rare bird in the world of super cars, as Pagani is expected to produce less than 40 Huayras within the first year of its production.
The Pagani Huayra continues this marque’s tradition of serious-yet-smart muscle, aerodynamics without compromise and styling that borders on the eccentric. The Huayra is powered by an AMG-sourced 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 engine, capable of pushing 700 horsepower and 740 pound-feet of torque. That muscle isn’t pushing a whole lot of weight, as this one measures under 3,000 pounds at the curb thanks to no shortage of carbon fiber in the body work. If you push the pedal and hold it on a straight-away, that AMG engine will force the light-as-a-feather Huayra to speeds of up to 230 mph.
As we said, the styling is a bit eccentric, but this has always been Pagani’s trademark. It’s not your overly angular Lamborghini, it’s not your curvy Porsche, it’s not your bulbous Bugatti. If you’re lucky enough to see one of these in the wild, you’ll immediately recognize it for what it is: a genuine Pagani. If you want to be one of the few to actually drive one, you can expect a million and a half Washingtons on the price tag. That’s the price you’ve got to pay if you want to put just about every car on the road in your rear view, and in a very rare style.

While we certainly cannot say the Zonda F lacks performance figures, driving around the Nürburgring in 7:32 and achieving lateral G forces of almost 1.5 G, it is however a road car, easy to drive, intuitive and setting the benchmark for comfort, safety and lightweight. In September 2006 the first drawings were ready, but it was crucial to have the support of Mercedes-AMG for a high revving engine with a power output of 750hp, dry sump, light and with a low centre of gravity.The wheelbase has grown by 47mm, the overall length by 394 mm and the track is increased by 50mm.This self-supporting engine with 750 hp at 8000 rpm and 710 Nm of torque carries a lightweight carbon fibre highperformance intake system, a racing multiple disc sintered clutch and Formula 1 style exhaust system, hydroformed in Inconel 625 and ceramic coated for optimal heat dissipation.
The 5.0-liter engine also will continue to be highlighted in the Mustang Boss 302R running in the Grand-Am Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge race series.Available in only two models originally, the 1964 ½ as it was dubbed, came as either a coupe or a convertible. Both of these models showcased a lengthened hood, a shortened rear deck, chrome grille with a running horse, full wheel covers and chrome wrap-around bumpers. A characteristic standard on the Mustang for years was the three taillights on both sides. Three-speed automatic was optional, while four-speed manual transmissions were standard behind all engines.The 2.8-liter V6 and the 5.0-liter V8 were both deleted from the line, while the only six available was the pathetic 3.3-liter straight six.
