Post by: andrewparker on July 12, 2012, 10:07:30 am: Yeah, watched this last night. I've got to say, the Huayra hasn't grabbed me like the Zonda did. All the lovely details aside I just can't warm to the looks, and particularly the sound. The active aero at the front just looks weird too.

Post by: markymark on July 12, 2012, 10:21:37 am: I too was disappointed with the sound of this latest Pagani when I heard it at Goodwood.

Post by: carter711 on July 12, 2012, 11:02:19 am: I love this car, and I love the boost noise as its not trying to pretend to be something it isn't. When I watched it it made me want to go and buy the nearest thing to it, without looking like a pikey. In a supra! I came to the conclusion that the best everyday car for this is a remapped BMW 335i coupe

Fiat Barchetta anyone. :chicken:

Post by: Bernhard30 on July 12, 2012, 11:38:32 pm: Just watched the Harris film and gotta say Wow. He was pedalling that hard and fast up that road, real beads of sweat catching that grunt oversteer..

Yeah it's not a Zonda like soundtrack, but I think Harry Metcalfe sums it up quite well on the 760 RS (Evo) video when he said the Zonda RS is like 911 GT3 RS 4.0 Litre, and the Huayra is like the 911 Turbo.

So factoring that up, I'd guess you're looking at the base 997 Turbo, at the very start of it's development life in Pagani Hypercar World.

Rather cool owning a Pagani I'd imagine. Anyone on here got one??

I wonder if Revo will do a remap on it! :laugh:

Post by: rich83 on July 13, 2012, 12:38:12 am: I would have thought its fairly highly "boosted" as it is..... LOBA hybrids maybe?
