This is the Pagani Huayra, the Italian firm’s one million euro hypercar replacement for the Zonda. Known in development as the C9, the Huayra – a ‘god of wind’ and pronounced ‘Wirer’ with a heavy Spanish accent – has taken Pagani seven years to develop and, according to company boss Horacio Pagani, offers a different flavour of supercar to the Zonda.
Continuing Pagani’s alliance with Mercedes’ AMG department, the Huayra is powered by a bi-turbo 6.0-litre V12. Pagani will sell two versions of the Huayra: the standard engine with 700bhp and 664lb ft, and a Sport version with 730bhp and 811lb ft. While the block is shared with Mercedes’ own SL65 Black Series, Pagani commissioned AMG to reduce turbo lag and improve the throttle progression, resulting in new heads, pistons, manifolds and turbos.
Price: 1,000,000 euro; 0-62mph: 3.3sec; Engine: V12, 5980cc, petrol; Layout: Mid, longitudinal, RWD; Power: 700bhp at 6300rpm; Torque: 664lb ft at 2500-4250rpm; Gearbox: 7-spd automated manual; Weight: 1350kg (dry); Suspension: Double wishbones, coil springs, anti-roll bar (f&r); Brakes: 380mm carbon-ceramic discs (f&r); Length: 4605mm; Width: 2036mm; Height: 1169mm; Tyres: 225/35 ZR19 (f), 335/30 ZR20 (r) Pirelli PZeros
