Pagani Huayra

Meet the 3rd car Pagani has ever produced: The Huayra (hwhy-rah) meaning God of Wind. It followed the C12 and Zonda, and was named Hypercar of the Year in 2012 by Top Gear. It is the fastest production car on the Top Gear test track by 1.3 seconds.

Even though it looks a lot like its older brother: the Zonda, I personally like the look of the Zonda better. In the Huayra the front is too rounded, and doesn't look as mean or aggresive as it should for a car with so much power and intimidation. The back end has been improved drastically, going away from the 90's box style and into the new generation of rounded and curved. What I like is how Pagani kept their trademark 4 exhaust tips in the middle of the back. Hopefully they never wander away from that design. Despite my personal opinion, which car would you say has the better look and why?

The engine is a beautiful twin turbocharged 6.0L V12 engine from Mercedes-Benz's AMG line producing 720 HP for this light little car. The engine allows it to go from 0-100km/h in a world leading 2.5s, comparable to that of a Bugatti, and can hit a top speed of 370km/h.

Sale price you ask? $1.5 million, but for the fastest production car to go around the Top Gear test track, Pagani can charge what it wants. But, would the average car enthusiast be willing to spend 3-4 times as much for a car that goes around a small track 3 seconds faster?
