THE PAGANI HUAYRA

The Art of Pagani



Even when it's stationary the 2012 Pagani Huayra is mesmerizing. As one would expect from Horacio Pagani's background in carbon-fiber research, the Huayra's composition is exotic. The bodywork is carbon fiber, of course. The car measures 180.3 inches overall, 80.2 inches wide and 46 inches high.

The carbon-fiber monocoque beneath features carbon-titanium. The tub's titanium reinforcement allows the plastic to flex rather than shatter when it responds to an impact, and yet structural strength and integrity aren't compromised.


Currently Horacio Pagani is being quite coy about the Huayra's performance and says, "Maximum speed is not the most important thing for us." Yet in the next breath he mentions that 230 mph has been seen in testing. Zero to 100 km/h (62 mph)? The best Pagani has seen in cold track conditions is 3.3 seconds, which is pretty good considering the difficulty of getting the tires to hook up so much engine torque (a three-stage traction and stability control system from Bosch helps).


When you take a seat in the car (look, airbags!), you'll find shift paddles on the steering wheel and a lever on the center console. Horacio Pagani has tried to maintain the special link between man and machine by giving the shift linkage a heavy, mechanical feel. Even the center console itself has been machined from a single block of aluminum. At the same time, there's a satellite navigation system with a touchscreen, because the Huayra is meant to be a GT car, not a racing car.

The Future of Flamboyance
The 2012 Pagani Huayra is a step into the future for Pagani. A decade ago, the Zonda cost $320,000, but now the Huayra will carry a price tag of about $1.4 million, and that's for the version with the standard engine.

Oke sih oke,tapi harganya ituloh, gila bangets.Mendingan LAMBORGHINI harganya lebih mendingan.
