Bob Singh Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 The 2013 Pagani Huayra It's tempting to dismiss the Pagani Huayra as another fringe hypercar -- another exclusive, expensive, pointless toy for the collector who's bored with his Ferraris and wants to tool around to the country club in something his rich buddies don't have. Tempting, that is, until you drive it. How else could you explain the fact that every one of the Huayra's 1400 titanium bolts has the Pagani logo etched on it (the pre-production bolt set used on the first five cars cost $112,000 -- per car); that Pagani spent nearly $900,000 developing a unique fuel system designed to eliminate the threat of fires in a crash; that the Huayra has a bespoke battery that's 26 pounds lighter than the one used in the Zonda (the old one cost $125, the new one is more than $1800). There are 1001 other examples I could quote, so just take it from me: The Huayra's detailing and workmanship is simply incredible. It makes a Ferrari look frumpy, a Veyron like a Volkswagen.

Armada Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I don't understand how it makes a Bugatti look like a VW... Obviously VW owns Bugatti but in the end the Bugatti would still smoke this... RIP Pagani Zonda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gran Turismo Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I'll be driving this car soon enough. In Gran Turismo 6, with a steering wheel. Probably the closest I'll ever get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanuck Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Pagani recently announced the Zonda R Evo - a track only edition of the previous Zonda (but taken to the extreme in every extent possible) and I believe it'll be even more exclusive (not to mention faster) than the Huayra. My goodness the things money can buy..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelastguy Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Looks like a catfish. Pagani did a much better job with the exterior styling of the Zonda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
