The Huayra--pronounced “WHY-ra”--has been under development for seven years. It got its formal debut at the Geneva motor show in early March.
Here are the details:
-- The engine is a twin-turbo 6.0-liter V12. The engine block is sourced from Mercedes-Benz and is shared with the SL65 Black Series. But Mercedes tuner AMG developed new heads, turbos, pistons and exhaust manifolds for Pagani. There will be two levels of tuning--a base 700-hp version with 664 lb-ft of torque and a Sport tune with 730 hp and 811 lb-ft of torque. The engine is mated to a seven-speed gearbox with paddle shifters. The gearbox is built by racing specialist Xtrac. The engine is mounted behind the seats, driving the rear wheels.
-- Pagani says the Huayra runs from 0 to 62 mph in 3.3 seconds.
-- The Huayra was engineered to meet U.S. safety standards.
-- The body is constructed primarily of carbon fiber, including the gullwing doors.
-- The Huayra includes active aerodynamics; motorized flaps at each corner of the car operate independently of each other. The flaps are deployed to increase aerodynamic downforce for acceleration, braking and cornering.
-- The front suspension is height-adjustable. That’s important for clearing speed bumps in parking lots. Also, the height adjustment counteracts nose dive under hard braking.
-- The Huayra has a curb weight of 2,976 pounds.
-- Price: expected to be about $1.37 million.
