2014 Pagani Huayra Pacchetto Tempesta
The Pagani Huayra (Italian pronunciation: [ˈwai̯ra]) is a mid-engine sports car produced by Italian sports car manufacturer Pagani, succeeding the company’s previous offering, the Zonda. It is named after Huayra-tata, a Quechua wind god. The Huayra was named “The Hypercar of the Year 2012” by Top Gear magazine. On 11 February 2015 it was reported that the Pagani Huayra has been sold out. The Huayra was limited to just 100 units as part of Pagani’s agreement with engine supplier Mercedes-AMG.
Turning to Mercedes-Benz once again for their power plant, this time Pagani chose to fit twin turbochargers to their 6.0-liter V-12, producing 730 bhp and an incredible 1,000 Newton-meters of torque. With such power, unique solutions were needed to keep the car in control under all circumstances. To keep the Huayra firmly planted on the road, it utilizes active aerodynamics in the form of four independently operating flaps placed on each corner of the car. Controlled by the car’s computer, these flaps instantly adjust to reduce drag, offer additional downforce, or rein in body roll depending on the car’s speed, lateral acceleration, steering angle, and throttle position. These monumental engineering efforts afford the Huayra incredible performance, including a top speed of 238 mph and a 0–60 mph sprint of just 3.0 seconds.
Fully customizable by the customer, the Huayra offers all the amenities one would expect in a modern-day supercar, with a fit and finish that is second to none. With just 100 Huayra coupes produced and such incredible performance, the Huayra is truly in a rarified automotive atmosphere and is a car that many aspire to have but that few have the privilege to own.
Pagani has introduced the Huayra Pacchetto Tempesta special edition, designed exclusively for a wealthy American client. The Huayra Pacchetto Tempesta features a unique bodywork finished in fully exposed carbon fiber adorned. The car also comes with polished wheels with detailed Pirelli word on the tyres, while the owner has purchased a second set of black Zonda R wheels.
Inspired eternity element air. Delicate and ethereal, yet capable of eroding the most resistant materials, giving them the forms that we recognize in nature. Elegant, muscular, Huayra combines past, present and future in the timeless art automotive interpretation. The style of the car has been perfected over five years to give each line a clear beginning and an equally clear view.
