The Paganai Huayra Story

It’s pretty rare for an automaker to produce a background story video that’s as in-depth as this on that Pagani has made for the new Huayra. Then again, not many cars have as interesting back stories as Paganis and I don’t think anybody else could produce an equivalent car even if given access to the entire production process. Horacia Pagani says that he follows one of Leonardo da Vinci’s philosophies of art and science developing in unison. You can really see that in the functional design of the Huayra and the innovations like the titanium laced carbon fiber used in its chassis.

The Story of Pagani and the Zonda

Pagani just released this five part series on how Horacio Pagani got his start designing cars and the creation of the Pagani Zonda. It’s an interesting look into the birth of what is arguably one of the most exotic cars you can buy today. The videos talk about how the founder of Pagani cultivated his passion for car design with technical skills and end with detailing all of the special editions of the Zonda.

Pagani Huayra on the Road

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.
