Pagani Huayra - leaked pics

[McLareN]

So much anticipation, and it looks like a fish. I still can't believe Pagani designed this.

Hands up who thinks those side view mirrors look waaay out of place :p

What does Huayra mean?

[pimento]

Apparently it means wind in the indigenous language of Quechua spoken in the Andes region of South America.

So what is happening to the Pagani C9, Oh no i have just read the C9 is to be called the Pagani Huayra, What a stupid name why can't it just be called the C9. Don't mind the look of the back, but i hate the look of the Front and i hate those gullwing doors they just adds Weight. NO NO NO this is so bad Pagani what have you done.

[aiasib]

Hahahahaha awwwww, u no fanboy no mo? Read it and weep, buddy! Read. It. And. Weep.

[thebrochureman]

Oh i am, although no car Pagani will make will live up to the Zonda

[faksta]

The 'original' Huayra looked somehow better ;)
This name just brings a memory of this Argentinian car from 1971...

[Cobrafan427]

I somehow like it, the mirrors could definitely be replaced but overall i don't think it's that bad. The front view does look like a catfish lookin to swallow a stinky piece of liver but all the other angles look pretty sharp. I especially like how they used those swooped rims to go along with the overall roundness of the design

You could just say "At least its consistantly ugly."

[Magnum9987]

What. The. ****. This tops the FF for sheer ugliness. That is hideous. Everything that the Zonda represented is now GONE. I'd rather Pagani died than make something that hideous.

[Rockefella]

It looks like they attached the zonda to a bicycle pump and inflated it a couple hundred PSIs. Like mclaren said, it resembles a fish.

[Badsight]

the Pagani "Guppy" ?!?!?

[csl177]

Yes. Plus 1970s sidepipes are win... in seriousness though the proportions aren't far from Pagani, either. As to this new thing... meh.

The golfers are thinking about playing through and don't care about the photoshoot taking place. :p

[Commodore GS/E]

Ugly mutated catfish thingy... I am super shocked right now.

I'm sure it's really fast and all, but why is the front end that ugly? The rear is still beautiful in my eyes, but the front end design has to go

[2ndclasscitizen]

Eh, not the greatest but could be worse. Still as long as it's still fast and still sounds like this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=3CRV6xDpkZo#t=120s) who cares.

[LHamilton_w]

Its the Zonda's fat-faced relative....................ugh.

[andycoates]

Oh dear. Epic fail. Horacio is undoing a lot of hard won credibility of this goes to production as is. A sad day indeed :(

[thebrochureman]

What. The. ****. This tops the FF for sheer ugliness. That is hideous. Everything that the Zonda represented is now GONE. I'd rather Pagani died than make something that hideous.

I totally agree with everything you said. I prefer the look of the C9 concept when it first came out, Why couldn’t it stay like that.

[Ferrer]

Being just renders it is too early to say, but in my opinion it is not that bad.

[thebrochureman]

I am going to weight until it actually comes out maybe the production car may look a bit better than this one. like you said ''Being just renders it is too early to say''

[Ecnelis]

Did you noticed small wings on the front? :eek: Same wings at the back:

[demonrunning07]

This is true. You can never trust the renderings that turn up in magazines. Most of the time they're done by an artist with no affiliation with the actual company, artists whose job it is to "project" what new cars might look like. So I wouldn't give up all hope just yet.

I really don't like it. It looks snubbed, fat, and it lacks the sharp angles that make the Zonda so beautiful. Not to mention the nose. That being said, I didn't like the Zonda at first either.

[faksta]

This photo looks way better than the ones in the first post!

[aiasib]

Hehe I have to agree as well, those adaptive spoilers and streamlined edges are tugging me back, one inch at a time.

[andycoates]

Agreed, but the front is still going to give me nightmares for a week!:(

[pimento]

Those little wings look almost set to different pitches, as if they're linked to the steering... that could be interesting.

Again we see that magazine scans bring out the worst in a car - the rear shot with the winglets looks much nicer than on the first page. Still looks a bit blobby though, the glamour shots should be interesting.

[Roentgen]

Its simply beautiful, except the front looks a bit... thick. But the details in the car is just exquisite.

[NSXType-R]

Hands up who thinks those side view mirrors look waaay out of place :p

What does Huayra mean?

Lots of older Japanese cars have mirrors on their fenders.

Except this is my first time seeing it on a super car. :D

[lfb666]

The Mitsubishi HSR Concept also uses the flaps.

[Kitdy]

It's been a long time since I've seen you around lbf666. I think you were mostly active before my time. Good to have you back!

[Ecnelis]

It's here:

[Ferrer]

It's not as sleek as the Zonda, but I like it. If it has a manual and a normally aspirated AMG engine I want one.

EDIT Read the link. Twin turbo and automatic. No want for me.

[Dino Scuderia]

Rear 3/4 view is nice.

It's certainly less like a tarted up hooker than the original...but not liking the front end.

[Kitdy]

Another one bites the dust.

Wasn't Pagani supposed to be a holdout?

The customer is #1 I suppose.

[Ferrer]

If Porsche bottles out with the 918 thing, the manual supercar will be gone forever.

If it doesn't though, it would be ironic that the last "major" car maker with a manual supercar would be german...

[Kitdy]

A supercar is meant to represent the pinnacle of road car performance.

At this point, a manual gearbox decreases performance. I think it makes a degree of sense for them not to have a manual. It is cool that some manufacturers still rocked manual supercars recently though.

EDIT: What I liked about the Zonda was that it had a big NA V12 and a manual gearbox. I did not like the look of it. This does not have a NA V12 or manual gearbox, and looks terrible.

[clutch-monkey]

for the same reasons as kitdy i don't mind that there is no manual but the option would be nice.
rear end looks much cleaner than the zonda, but the front air dams/lip.. hmm

[Ferrer]

So if supercars can't have a manual because it's too slow and grand tourers can't have a manual because it's too difficult, what's the manual there for?

[pimento]

Sports cars, I guess.

[2ndclasscitizen]

Small capacity city cars.

[Kitdy]

Sports cars, I guess.

Bang on. Low and mid market sports cars specifically; the Genesis, the Mustang, the Corvette. This is where manuals should most often be applied.

EDIT: About this car, I am curious as to how much boost it is running.

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Beyond the Heavy front lip and pinched rear window, this thing is alright by me. Automatic or not.

[Wouter Melissen]

I am just glad you guys were not around when the electric starter motor was invented.

[pimento]

It's unnecessary weight! All cars should be hand-cranked!

[P3RG4R3C]

I think video footage gives it more justice than still photos.

Check this out (also includes engine sound ;)):

Don't like the sat-nav though. Looks like a cheap chinese tablet IMO.
Also check out the front 'fins' in action at around 0:48.

Syncros add unnecesary weight as well. And what about brakes? Not only add weight, but they slow you down as well.

[Cobrafan427]

Can't really say i like the engine note. The backfires and burbles are nice but i hate that wheezing sound

[RacingManiac]

I am just glad you guys were not around when the electric starter motor was invented.


lol, hand cranking is for the real men's man...

I am with Kitdy, up to some point the stuff laden with the cars at that level using the manual will just be holding the cars back....You can't really "drive" the modern supercars in the same sense as older cars anymore. Sure you can turn traction control off, but in many cases you still have electronic diff, adaptive aero bits, adaptive damping, crazy AWD or whatnot...

At any rate, this new Pagani looks funny on the front. The rear seems quite nice actually. The photos don't help neither as they used that low-level shot and just make not nose looks so much thicker with plenty of daylight underneath the car. Might not looks that horrible in person, but I've never seen the Zonda in person so I can't compare in that respect....

[thebrochureman]

I Have seen other pictures of this car, and i have to say i am growing on it. i still don't like the looks compaired to the Zonda but its not as bad as i thought it was when it first came out.

[IBrake4Rainbows]

I am just glad you guys were not around when the electric starter motor was invented.

The metric system is the tool of the devil! My car gets forty rods to the hogshead and that's the way I likes it!

[thebrochureman]

you know how i said i hated this car, well it may seem odd but i have changed my mind now for some odd reson now i realy love it. i have seen some more picture in a magazine and seeing the car more up-close i now quite like the look. The Interior is nice but i prefer the one in the Zonda Cinque, the interior is Similar to the one in Spyker C8 Aileron Spyder. the engine is a work of art. now i love this car

Horacio will be feeling quite relieved.

[2ndclasscitizen]

I have come to a conclusion: Who the hell paints their new million dollar supercar metallic beige?

[aiasib]

I believe the correct euphemism is 'champagne'. :p

[pimento]

Back to the gearbox thing for a second, is it the worst thing that happened for youse lot since the 911 went water cooled?

[Badsight]

the whole point of a v12 is that you dont need to mess around with forced induction to have a stunning powerband

[pimento]

Yea, but if you do forcibly induce it you get an even stunninger one.

[henk4]

I have come to a conclusion: Who the hell paints their new million dollar supercar metallic beige?

because we bought a 18000 dollar super C3 in the same colour, of course. Horacio thought that to be a good idea too.

[pimento]

Pieter: Style Guru to the world.

[Ferrer]

Turbo, four wheel drive, automatic M cars based on SUVs are quite bad as well.

[thebrochureman]

This car is perfection and I love it. I think this car makes the Bugatti Veyron look boring. Take the gearbox for example, Horacio Pagani could have used a normal seven-speed paddleshift gearbox. But no, instead he use a unit from one of the best race suppliers, Xtrac. The same people which did the box for the Zonda R. Horacio Pagani doesn’t use the cheap option to make the most money, I mean the gearbox cost as much as a decent V8. Then take the exhausts, typical Pagani obsession for the best materials regardless of cost, their made of titanium for lightness. And the list goes on, every part on this car is made from the best material possible. What a great car and what a great car designer Horacio Pagani is, in my opinion one of the best car designers in the would.

[Dino Scuderia]

Is it just me or is this version even more over the top than the Zonda was?

It's just to much glitz.

The carbon sills help tie in the controversial front end IMO.

[thebrochureman]

The Zonda being over the top is a good thing not a bad thing. Its nice to see the Huayra in a diffrent colour.
