Pagani Huayra: If Da Vinci Made a Sports Car
Pagani Automobili was founded by a European businessman who doesn't even speak English, Horacio Pagani, (who recently just turned 60 years old a few months ago). His vision of what a supercar should look like was so unique and unbelievably beautiful that people are calling his latest creation the most amazing automobile ever known to mankind. The Pagani Huayra is a, gull-winged, $1.2 million hypercar that can be described as nothing less than a masterpiece. This hypercar was based off of his first creation, which is well known to millions of car enthusiasts, the Pagani Zonda. The V12 AMG Zonda served as a strong template for the Huayra. The engine of the Huayra is completely handcrafted. along with its hydroformed titanium exhaust, in Germany while the gearbox (single-clutch, seven-speed Xtrac automated manual is built in Britain. This 3,100 pound machine is completely built in carbon chassis including the body panels. Every piece of this car is forged beautifully by hand to create what is one of the worlds most beautiful automobile. The V12 engine produces over horsepower with 737 pound feet of torque, and goes 0-186 mph in 18 seconds (0-60 in 3 seconds flat) and a top speed of 225mph. Currently, as of today, there is merely a limited production number of 100 Pagani Huayras custom produced in exactly the way that the owner builds it with a Pagani Automobili expert before the car is even built. These cars are so rare that each specific Huayra has it's own production number out of 100 imprinted inside the inner panels of the car in Italian (i.e. 81 di 100). Til this day, automotive experts around the world are in complete shock over how one man could create a car so charismatic and perfect when it would seem that an army of technicians couldn't ever reproduce.
