Pagani's Zonda replacement had been code named C9 until a few weeks ago when the name Huayra surfaced. At that time there were still just photos of disguised test mules running around but now the official images and specs of this amazing car have been revealed.
Sporting a set of gullwing doors, the Huayra looks to be about the same dimensions as the Zonda it replaces but with much different bodywork sporting aerodynamic and cooling doodads everywhere. Power will come from a twin-turbocharged 6.0L Mercedes AMG V12 producing over 700 horsepower and 740 pound feet of torque. That should be enough to propel the under 3,000 pound Huayra to a projected top speed of close to 230MPH. All that power will get to the rear wheels via a new seven speed dual clutch gearbox.
Inside, the level of craftsmanship and luxury Pagani has been noted for continues with lots of leather, aluminum and carbon fiber. A new instrument cluster with blue gauges and a multi function display that controls audio, nav, and communications sit ready for the pilot of this land missile.
No word on pricing but expect it to be way up there.
