Gentle and refined, yet the strength of the wind it is able to erode even the toughest of materials giving birth to distinctive shapes known in nature. Elegant and muscular the Pagani Huayra merges the past, present and future in a timeless interpretation of automotive art.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The styling of the car was perfected over the course of 5 years to find each line's beginning and end. During this study, eight scale models were created, as well as two 1:1 models, each an evolution of the previous in a never ending quest to perfect the form and refining the substance.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The bi-xenon headlamps are just one of the many precious gifts from the <b>Zonda R</b>, and LED daytime running lights are seamlessly integrated in the elliptical shape of the design. The rear bumper integrates with the diffuser and is dominated by an elliptical frame that surrounds the four central exhaust outlets, now becoming a characteristic Pagani element.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Backbone</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The new central monocoque on the Pagani Huayra is an entirely new design made from carbontitanium. However, with the gull wing doors cutting deep into the roof, much research was focused on achieving the highest levels of rigidity through the application of new advanced composite materials and technologies first tested on the Zonda R.</div><a name="more"></a> The fuel tank is located integrally in the best protected area of the monocoque, behind the driver, reinforced by safety cell made of different composite and ballistic materials. The front and rear CrMo subframes offer an exceptional rigidity-to-weight ratio to allowing the suspensions to work at their best while incorporating an advanced energy absorbing crash structure, ready to protect the occupants in the unlikely event of an impact.<br /><br /><img alt="The Making of Pagani Huayra" array="" border="0" height="211" jquery15209339689286417283="1" pxz:uid="1230c7a3fc0-1" src="http://www.auto-types.com/images/_autonews/Pagani_Huayra_carbon_edition_angle_front_8000.jpg" title="The Making of Pagani Huayra" width="320" /><br /><img alt="The Making of Pagani Huayra" array="" border="0" height="211" jquery152029667799307412695="1" pxz:uid="1230c7a3b3a-1" src="http://www.auto-types.com/images/_autonews/Pagani_Huayra_carbon_edition_side_4581.jpg" title="The Making of Pagani Huayra" width="320" /><br /><img alt="The Making of Pagani Huayra" array="" border="0" height="211" jquery15207468672669700676="1" pxz:uid="1230c7a3b3b-1" src="http://www.auto-types.com/images/_autonews/2012_Pagani_Huayra_carbon_edition_side_2874.jpg" title="The Making of Pagani Huayra" width="320" /><br /><img alt="The Making of Pagani Huayra" array="" border="0" height="211" jquery15206670181687806135="1" pxz:uid="1230c7a3b40-1" src="http://www.auto-types.com/images/_autonews/2012_Pagani_Huayra_carbon_edition_9888.jpg" title="The Making of Pagani Huayra" width="320" /><br /><img alt="The Making of Pagani Huayra" array="" border="0" height="211" jquery15202972409235313502="1" pxz:uid="1230c7a3b3f-1" src="http://www.auto-types.com/images/_autonews/Pagani_Huayra_carbon_edition_up_view_7017.jpg" title="The Making of Pagani Huayra" width="320" /><br /><img alt="The Making of Pagani Huayra" array="" border="0" height="211" jquery1520017412421442303705="1" pxz:uid="1230c7a3b41-1" src="http://www.auto-types.com/images/_autonews/Pagani_Huayra_carbon_edition_up_7223.jpg" title="The Making of Pagani Huayra" width="320" /><br /><img alt="The Making of Pagani Huayra" array="" border="0" height="211" jquery15207822326985605346="1" pxz:uid="1230c7a3b42-1" src="http://www.auto-types.com/images/_autonews/Pagani_Huayra_carbon_edition_interior_seats_5059.jpg" title="The Making of Pagani Huayra" width="320" /><br /><img alt="The Making of Pagani Huayra" array="" border="0" height="211" jquery152047310822367843685="1" pxz:uid="1230c7a3b3d-1" src="http://www.auto-types.com/images/_autonews/Pagani_Huayra_carbon_edition_rear_1674.jpg" title="The Making of Pagani Huayra" width="320" /><br /><img alt="The Making of Pagani Huayra" array="" border="0" height="211" jquery1520008667353804501121="1" pxz:uid="1230c7a3fbf-1" src="http://www.auto-types.com/images/_autonews/Pagani_Huayra_carbon_edition_interior_5700.jpg" title="The Making of Pagani Huayra" width="320" /><br /><img alt="The Making of Pagani Huayra" array="" border="0" height="211" jquery152012451494027821852="1" pxz:uid="1230c7a3fc1-1" src="http://www.auto-types.com/images/_autonews/Pagani_Huayra_carbon_edition_open_doors_8272.jpg" title="The Making of Pagani Huayra" width="320" /><br /><br /><b></b><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2" width="500"><tbody><tr><td class="ecbgSpecsTitle" colspan="3"><b>Vehicle Specs</b> </td></tr><tr><td class="ecbgSpecsTextBold">Base Price </td><td width="10"></td><td class="ecbgSpecsText"><span id="lblListPrice">$1,400,000 (estimated)</span></td></tr><tr><td class="ecbgSpecsTextBold">Engine </td><td width="10"></td><td class="ecbgSpecsText"><span id="lblEngine">6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-12</span></td></tr><tr><td class="ecbgSpecsTextBold">Horsepower </td><td width="10"></td><td class="ecbgSpecsText"><span id="lblHp">more than 700 hp</span></td></tr><tr><td class="ecbgSpecsTextBold">Torque </td><td width="10"></td><td class="ecbgSpecsText"><span id="lblTorque">more than 738 lb-ft of torque</span></td></tr><tr><td class="ecbgSpecsTextBold">Transmission </td><td width="10"></td><td class="ecbgSpecsText"><span id="lblTransmission">7-speed SMG</span></td></tr><tr><td class="ecbgSpecsTextBold">0–60 mph </td><td width="10"></td><td class="ecbgSpecsText"><span id="lblZeroToSixty">3.3 seconds</span></td></tr><tr><td class="ecbgSpecsTextBold">Top Speed </td><td width="10"></td><td class="ecbgSpecsText"><span id="lblTopSpeed">230 mph</span></td></tr><tr><td class="ecbgSpecsTextBold">Weight </td><td width="10"></td><td class="ecbgSpecsText"><span id="lblWeight">3,200 lb (estimated)</span></td></tr><tr><td class="ecbgSpecsTextBold">Length </td><td width="10"></td><td class="ecbgSpecsText"><span id="lblLength">181 inches</span></td></tr><tr><td class="ecbgSpecsTextBold" valign="top">Tires </td><td width="10"></td><td class="ecbgSpecsText" valign="top"><span id="lblTires">Front: 255/35R-19, Rear: 335/30R-20 (estimated)</span></td></tr></tbody></table>
