I think we could all use a divine wind...

I'll start off by apologizing now if I seem to be too biased but it is just passion. The same type of passion this beautiful man has shown the world through his automobiles. Horacio Pagani is a man with a vision, much like all of us. I believe Pagani to be a link between the heavens and the mortal world. He started from scratch learning his trade with Lamborghini and eventually went out on his own to conquer the supercar frontier. A place where companies like Ferrari and Lamborghini leave no prisoners, the "built in shed" supercars come and go. I already did a piece of Mr. Pagani so you already know his story. He started with the Zonda, one of the all time greats, and now that his company is flourishing it is time for his newest creation. The Pagani Huayra is the latest masterpiece and has taken him and his designers seven years to build. The new model looks fantastic and keeping with Zonda tradition, it is still as crazy. It is named after a South American wind god, keeping in the Pagani tradition as well. The attention to detail with the car is something to behold. It is an aesthetic beauty that you can only find on some of the greats, and this car has it in spades. Every single piece has such acute detail, from the carbon fiber weave to the metal finishes. The gauges were built by Swiss watch makers and are said to cost around $5000. The engine is the usual Mercedes built AMG. A 6.0 liter V12 power plant, blown with bi-turbo's and producing over 700 horsepower and 1000nm of torque. With a top speed around 230 mph and low 3 second 0-60 times, the Huayra also goes with the vigor that a Pagani should. While the Huayra is the Zonda's successor, the two cars are not alike. Other than the Huayra's astronomical price tag of 1.3 million, something I wouldn't even think twice about, the cars are designed on two different concepts. It was very interesting listening to Mr. Pagani speak about his influence for the two cars. He has always said the Zonda philosophy was based on a group C Le Mans prototype and with the looks and that unbelievable soundtrack, it isn't hard to see where he is coming from. The inspiration for the Huarya however was taken from an airplane at take off, just as it leaves the ground. Watching him struggle to explain this to interviewers, you can feel the passion through the screen. He loves these cars so much, they essential are him, reincarnated into a carbo-titanium shell that will leave almost every car in its wake. Listening to the Huarya on full chat, you will quickly understand the airplane reference. I will leave a video to watch, so please do that. Oh and I almost forgot the best part about the Huarya, it will be sold in the United States. If you can afford one get your checkbook out, if you can't then get the cameras ready, because this car is going to be quite a spectacle.
