Pagani Huayra on the Road

Posted on by

Pagani of Italy is following up their hugely successful Zonda with a new model called the Huayra. The Huayra is named after a Spanish trade wind which is something you will find highly appropriate after watching the video. The car is powered by a 6.0 liter twin turbo AMG V8 that makes 720hp. It also has a very sophisticated active aerodynamics system that responds to cornering and braking. Evo magazine goes along for a ride with Horacio Pagani in one of the Huayras they are using for legalization testing for the US. Pagani explains that while the Zonda was inspired by a race car, the Huayra’s inspiration is an airplane taking off. Between the whooshing of the turbos and the flaps controlling the airflow over the car, I would say they did a good job living up to that inspiration and the name they chose.

BMW M3 GTS vs. Mercedes Benz C63 AMG Black vs. Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0

It really doesn’t get much better than this if you like cars. Lets round up the three best track oriented street cars that are currently made and set them loose in the hands of one of the best car reviewers alive today. Chris Harris pits the BMW M3 GTS and the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series against his personal Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 Liter. These are the most hardcore track oriented street cars currently made by major manufacturers. The key distinction of this genre of cars is that they should perform well on track as well as being just practical enough to able to drive to the track. That’s what sets these cars apart from something like the KTM X-bow. In the first part of the video, Harris explains the background and philosophy of each car. The second part of the video involves taking all three cars to the track to set lap times and to see how well you can hoon in them. Dreaming about stuff like this is a big chunk of what being a car guy is all about.
