In the italian supercar reign, there are no doubt that
ferrari and lamborghini are among the well-known list, but Pagani, the not so
young company (about decades) in supercar industry is about to let the world
knows of its potential. It's all start when an Argentinean
immigrated to Italy, Horacio Pagani, follows his dream
to build the finest supercar. His engineering experiences from working with
exotic car such as Lamborghini as a designer, Ferrari as F1 engine
manufacturing make his dream come true. In 1993, Pagani starts Zonda project,
and debuts the Zonda C12 in 1999 Geneva Motor Show. He continues to develop
this track car to be able to drive on street. He makes quite an entrance for
his stunning car on Febuary 18th 2011 at the Pirelli head quarter in Milan, the
Pagani Huayra world premiere.

Huayra, the god of wind in the Aymara ancient legend, is
the name of latest model from Pagani. It carries the signatures of Pagani
style. The bi-xenon headlamp derives from the Zonda, 4 central exhaust outlets

The design is inspired by the
Mercedes Benz arrowhead shape. Material used on Huayra is carbon fiber stranded
with titanium to give the bending ability when struck. Even bolts in the car are made of titanium. The
carbon-titanium chassis uses monocoque technique, which uses the object’s
external part to support the load. It provides an exceptional absorption from
any impact. With this monocoque technique, Huayra is able to duct
all ventilation air through the monocoque structure instead of adding more parts
to help duct the air. It makes the car most lightest supercar in its class with
the weight of 1,350 kg.

4 flaps automatic-adjust, 2 flaps in front and 2 flaps

help stabilize the car and maintain the gripping while drifting through a
curve.
