You'll Want to Be a Millionaire Too After Seeing this Pagani Huayra POV

Yes, it’s the (now comparatively old) Pagani Huayra again; yes, it doesn’t sound as ear-tickling-pleasant as the non-turbo Zonda it eventually replaced, and yes it’s a bit over the top for some tastes (visually speaking), but there’s no denying it’s one of the great driving experiences of this generation – a bridge between old analog and new digital, all with a large helping of flamboyant Latin passion and a dash of just plain mad over the top.

Visit the Pagani Factory Thanks to Google Maps – Try it Out Here

If you ever wondered what the inside of the Pagani factory was like, now you need to wonder no more because it’s been added by Google to its list of freely accessible indoor locations, alongside the Honda and Lamborghini museums, as well as several racing tracks.

Five Pagani Exotics Filmed Together at Hong Kong Workshop

If fuel runs through your veins, we don't need to tell you how rare it is to see one, let alone five (!) Pagani exotic supercars in the same place, at the same time.

This happened in Hong Kong at the  SPS Automotive Performance center with YouTube author HKVanquishWott taking a quick snap of the cars (be warned, the video is only 51 seconds long), which reportedly included the following models:

2001 Pagani Zonda C12 S
2007 Pagani Zonda F
2010 Pagani Zonda Cinque (Lime green)
2013 Pagani Zonda Revolucion
2013 Pagani Huayra

According to Carscoops' tipster Edward, "This is the first time that there's the new and the most powerful Pagani Zonda Revolucion being introduced in Hong Kong, along with other Zondas and a Huayra".

Pagani Huayra Roadster Design Concept Begs the Rhetorical Question, Should it be Built?

As a new and standalone company in the exotic and exclusive world of supercars, Pagani Automobili moves at a different tempo than other makers in this segment like Ferrari, which is supported by the Fiat Group, and Bugatti that lives under the umbrella of the almighty Volkswagen Group.
Since its inception in 1992, the Modena-based carmaker has introduced only two models; the Zonda and its derivatives in 1999, and its replacement, the still hard to pronounce, Huayra in 2011.

Evo Performance Car of the Year 2012: The Track Battle Video

When the year draws to its end, one thing you can be sure of is that you’ll be hearing, reading and watching a lot of “Car of the Year” memos. At some point, it really gets too much because everyone and their aunt think that they should crown a COTY.
It’s a free world, or most of it at least since there’s no North Korean COTY as far as we know, so everyone’s entitled to his/her opinion.
Even though the image below may look like it’s straight out of a D1 drift challenge, it’s actually a still from Evo magazine’s 2012 performance car of the year competition, or eCOTY as they call it.
The British publication rounded up the 10 best driver’s car that it has sampled in the past 12 months and it’s a pretty idiosyncratic bunch, ranging from the Morgan 3 Wheeler to the mighty Pagani Huayra.

Purple Carbon Pagani Huayra with Gold Rims Won't go by Unnoticed

It’s safe to say that nine of out 10 people will get the Pagani Huayra's name wrong (include us in that group), but few if any will mistake it for anything else on the road today.
As impressive as it may be, there are some ways to make the Huayra stand out even more from the crowd, namely by individualizing the car's appearance.

Huayra! Watch Pagani's Chief Test Driver in Some Rocking Action

If there is one person in the world you would like to take you out for a spin in the new Huayra, or any other Pagani model for that matter, it's Davide Testi, the Italian firm's official test driver who has racked up more miles in the car than anyone else has.
A one John Jack had the privilege of seeing Testi manhandling [sic] the exotic supercar from the relative comfort of the passenger seat during a trip in Italy and was also kind enough to share the experience with the rest of us through a video that you can enjoy right past the break.

Pagani Designer Envisions an Electric Sports Coupe

Now this is more like it. Antonio Bruno’s Electrodynamics Concept is an acrylic-bodied electric sports car design study for the 21st century. To me it sort of looks like an unlikely crossbreed between a Lamborghini Espada and a Hyundai Genesis Coupe, or maybe a next-generation Tesla Motors model. Bruno describes it thusly:
“The absence of a brand reference has contributed to the free forms and is totally devoted to aerodynamic influences and perceptions typical of product design. The upper dome is formed from a tinted acrylic component that stretches up to the front bumper, where it could hide the additional headlights.”

VIDEO: This is What a Pagani Huayra Sounds Like on the Track

We know many of you have been waiting for a while to get an acoustic flavor of the much-hyped Pagani Huayra, and now, thanks to the recordings of Youtube’s supercar buff, Marchettino, so we'll keep this post short and sweet in the name of expediency.
Marchettino attached a video camera on the rear corner of the Huayra as the supercar made a quick lap around the Adria International Raceway, which is located the Veneto region of Northern Italy. The result? Well, let’s just say that we weren’t exactly thrilled from the sounds of the V12, but keep in mind this may be due to the poor fitting or quality of the camera.

Wanted: Responsible Person to Drive World’s Top Supercars

How’s this for a dream job? Britain’s Repairacar is seeking a very special someone who can drive supercars from a customer’s address to one of their repair shops and back. It’s all very glamorous – the opportunity to drive supercars as diverse as Aston Martins, Ferraris and even the occasional Zonda or Bugatti Veyron – though it does include some taking of public transport.
A company spokesperson explains:“[The successful applicant] will also be expected to make their own way back to base from any corner of the UK and Europe – using public transport.”
So what they’re offering are a couple of hours on a bus or train in return for the chance to drive a selection of the world’s greatest supercars? Who could say no?

VIDEO: New Pagani Huayra Filmed at a Small Italian Fair

Just in case you’ve forgotten about the brand-new Pagani Huayra, we’ve got hold of a few new videos for your viewing pleasure. Horacio Pagani’s latest creation was recently spotted on display at the Motori e Sapori, a small county fair that took place in Italy. According to Youtube user Marchetinno, the matte silver car you see here is not the final production model but the PT4, as in Prototype 4, and it will allegedly be used as a testing mule for future special edition versions. Watch the walkaround videos after the break.

Pagani Huayra Live from the Geneva Motor Show, Plus First Promo Videos

It's quite difficult to imagine that the beautiful, spine tingling Pagani Zonda has been around for over ten years. Mr. Horacio Pagani graced our eyes in 1999 with a 7.0 AMG sourced V12 masterpiece with a steampunk style interior. Its beautiful form, angry looks and frightening performance turned it into a modern exotic classic not seen since the earlier years of motoring. But time has come for Pagani to introduce the Zonda's successor in the form of the brand-new Huayra that made its world premiere today at the 2011 Geneva Salon.
When Pagani unleashed the first photos its hypercar named after a South American god of wind, there seemed to be a bit of negative feedback. Many did not enjoy the looks of the wide bottom feeder mouth and oddly set rear tail lights. As with many cases of change, acceptance has seemed to slowly set in. The car looks much better under the radiant spotlights of the Geneva floor.

Huayray! New Pagani Supercar to be Officially Sold in the United States

We have some pretty good news for Pagani fans with a hefty bank account in the States; the Italian firm is finally entering the U.S. market for the very first time with its new Huayra supercar. The company's previous model, the Zonda, was barred from the U.S. due to emissions restrictions, but that's not the case with the new Huayra.
According to Pagani Automobili's managing director, Francesco Zappacosta, the 700-horsepower exotic supercar will cost around $1.1 million and it’ll be available later this year initially through two select dealers.

Ardalan Farboud’s Pagani Sei Concept: Better than the Huayra?

You may be surprised to learn that the Pagani Huayra isn’t my cup of tea (that’s Anglo-speak for “ I don’t like it”). Conversely, I have a great amount of affection for the Zonda and its limited-run sister, the Zonda F. The Huayra seems more Spyker-lookalike than Enzo-killer, which many would agree was the first generation Z’s raison d’être.
I also like Ardalan Farboud’s Pagani Sei design study. It has the sort of unfussy slickness that the Zonda had and the Huayra lacks, while staying true to the brand’s tenets of being lithe, fast and using gratuitous amounts of carbon fibre. Farboud, a recent graduate from Coventry University’s Master of Design course, produced the Sei as part of his final year project.

New Pagani Huayra Roadster Imagined

A lot of things still remain unknown about the new Pagani Huayra, but if the outgoing Zonda is anything to go by, it's almost certain that the company will eventually expand the supercar's range with special editions, Clubsport models and of course, a roadster version. Teamspeed forum resident and photoshop specialist Wild-Speed, who you may remember from his recent work on the 2013 Porsche Cajun 3-door SUV, has now made use of his talents to chop the roof off the Huayra Coupe and provide us with a glimpse of what a future roadster variant might look like.

The Zonda is Dead. Long Live the New Pagani Huayra! Official Photos and Details of 700HP Supercar

After a series of leaked magazine shots hit the internet this past weekend, Pagani today officially released its new Huayra supercar model in a rather anticlimactic way. Designed to replace the much-hyped Zonda series, Horacio Pagano's newest creation is named after the Andean god of wind, Aymara Huayra Tata.
The Huayra has a somewhat softer styling and isn't as raw as the Zonda, but the two models do share a similar silhouette. As always, design is a matter of personal taste, so feel free to express your opinion about the car's styling in our comments section below.

Pagani's newcomer also gets a pair of swooping gullwing doors which introduce the driver and passenger to a truly bespoke interior with some impressive details such as the exposed gear selector.

Leaked Magazine Shots Overshadow Fourth Pagani C9 Video Teaser

Only a few hours after Pagani released the fourth teaser of the upcoming supercar codenamed C9 – and dubbed Huayra by an increasing number of sources –, a set of allegedly official magazine scans surfaced online. The pictures are said to be sourced from the upcoming February edition of the Spanish-language Car Magazine, featuring several shots of Horacio Pagani's new supercar.

VIDEO: Making of the Real Life Lamborghini Police Car vs Pagani Zonda Film

With modern day racing video games blurring the lines between virtuality and reality, it's no wonder some readers mistook last Friday's Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Trailer featuring a Police-livered Lamborghini Murcielago and a Pagani Zonda for a very well executed CGI when in fact it was a real-life film (see it here). If you still have doubts, then follow the jump to watch the video and get behind the scenes of the live-action shoot out.

Live Action Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Trailer with Pagani vs Lamborghini [VIDEO]

Live action game trailers are nothing new. It's an easy way for developers to tease their upcoming titles without having to reveal any actual graphics or gameplay. Recent examples of this include Resident Evil 5 and Halo 3: ODST.

So there's a new trailer out for Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, the latest in the NFS series and the third Hot Pursuit title. However, this trailer comes with something special: a spectacular live action realisation of the chase from the E3 reveal trailer.

In the original trailer, we see an epic chase whereby a Koenigsegg CCX, Pagani Zonda Cinque and McLaren MP4-12C are pursued by two Ford Shelby GT500s, a Bugatti Veyron, a Lamborghini Murciélago and a Bell 206 helicopter. This is all realized (presumably) with the in-game engine and is pretty sweet in itself.

Simbol Design Lavazza GTX-R is a Ferrari Enzo Wannabe with a BMW V12

Let's face it: buying a supercar is hard. They're expensive, they're hard to insure and if you crash one you're bound to see it posted on Carscoop. So what do you do if you crave the supercar looks but can't stomach the supercar hang-ups? You buy an Italian knockoff, that's what.

This here is the Lavazza GTX-R and yes, it does look a lot like a Ferrari Enzo (with a pinch of Pagani) if you squint...and are drunk...and are wearing sunglasses...at night. Ahem.

If you read the Italian version of the site, power comes from a BMW-sourced 5.4-liter V12 producing 489HP that can accelerate the GTX-R from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in just 4.3 seconds. However, the English-language page makes word of the same V12 with 620HP but a 0-100km/h sprint time of 4.6 seconds. Go figure...
