2013 Pagani Huayra, "God of Wind"








Pictured above is the Pagani Huayra, an Italian masterpiece named after the God of Wind. With such a title, one would imagine it to boast an incredible speed.

The Huayra uses a custom built engine from Mercedes-AMG. Features comprise of a bloodthirsty 6.0 litre twin-turbocharged V12 that produces 720 brake horsepower to the wheels, plus a savage 1,000 N-m of torque. The immense hours of engineering has allowed the Huayra to launch from 0 to 100km/h in a mere 3.2 seconds. This fiend even reaches a top speed of 372km/h.

Similar to the Zonda, the Huayra has identical headlights, a short nose and a signature quad-exhaust. Pagani has fitted the Huayra with active aerodynamics, such as the four flaps placed at the front and rear of the car. These flaps behave in a way that passes on information about the machine's speed, acceleration, steering angle and throttle location; achieving minimal drag coefficient or maximum downforce when cornering, depending on the situation.

 The interior showcases well-stitched leather with detailed carbon fibre accents. On top of that, other notable attributes include a three spoked steering wheel, exposed middle console (allowing the driver to hear every click), and an out-of-this-world dashboard. Contributing to a 'spaceship' feel, the gauge cluster prides itself on such complex luminosity. Despite Pagani's intention to lose as much unnecessary weight, they have provided the luxury of a central touchscreen unit that controls the multimedia system, namely the audio, satellite navigation and Bluetooth connectivity.
