ahh dam the zonda front looks killer imo on the new car

 

We all know how much the design will change over time, so don't worry too much. If anything (for you) the design can only go up from here.

 

Love it, elegant inside and out!

 

i do like the rest of the car

 

Hoping they do a version with the normal door design and maybe fill in the front a little then be more to my taste, loving the interior though.

Febraury 18th at the Pirelli Head Quarter in Milan, the new Pagani Huayra was unveiled. The tecnology, the style and the state of the art of mechanical engineering showed themself to the guests and the journalists who attended the event. Horacio Pagani spoke about the features, the magic and the passion back the built of every piece of 4000 composing Huayra. Francesco Gori of Pirelli, Martin Hart of AMG and Khadem Al Qubaisi, attended and spoke about the new Huayra project, the technology and also the “Pagani driving emotions”. The event continued at Bicocca degli Arcimboldis’s Castle for the dinner, and then everybody came back to Pirelli building for the last pictures with Huayra.

Milan, 18th February 2011 – Pagani Automobili and Pirelli
consolidate their technical partnership which began in 2006 with
Huayra, the new supercar from the Modena manufacturers on P Zero
tyres and which blends sports performance with elegance. The world
preview of the 2011 vehicle, signed off by Horacio Pagani, took
place today at the classic Pirelli plant at Bicocca, where the
European Huayra launch tour will start. The showdown that took
place in the heart of Pirelli’s Research and Development group
involved Horacio Pagani, chairman and founder of Pagani
Automobili, and Francesco Gori, CEO of Pirelli Tyre.

The Huayra project began in 2003 and the achievement is the direct
result of the collaboration of almost every world expert in the
automotive sector, who helped create an entirely new vehicle in
terms of form, dynamic, dimensions and technologies used. The
Pagani experts, the Mercedes Benz-AMG motor engineers and Pirelli
researchers have studied each and every detail to bring Horacio
Pagani’s idea to life: an elegant, powerful car with a focus on
reducing environmental impact; a car not in contrast with the air,
but rather supporting it, becoming a part of it. In this project,
a key role was played by the tyres which had to guarantee
progression, grip and low rolling coefficient as well as meeting
particularly severe safety standards, thereby granting maximum
stability to a high performance vehicle with a rear engine. To
this end, the Pirelli engineers developed innovative solutions for
the P Zero destined for used on the Pagani car: optimising the
structure to maximise contact patch and improve lateral behaviour.
The materials used are also innovative: a two-component compound
that increases both grip and rolling efficiency.

The first collaboration between Pirelli and Pagani dates
back to 2005, but it was in 2007 that the relationship between


the two brands really strengthened, when Pagani beat the speed
record on the Nürburgring circuit for the first time, in
partnership with Pirelli. The second and last record dates back to
last summer, when the Pagani Zonda R travelled 20.83 km in
just 6 minutes and 47 seconds, wearing Pirelli P Zero
Slick tyres (measuring 265/645-19TL, 325/705-20TL) that had been
specifically designed for Zonda R and that were derived from a
combination of designs and the use of innovative Motorsport
materials.

Huayra consists of more than 4000 parts, in addition to engine and
gearbox, which are all assembled individually. Compared with the
Zonda, Huayra’s driving position is 40mm further back and has an
even more spacious driving compartment. The soft, immediate
silhouette becomes sleek and streamlined, with lines that have a
clear start and finish. The engine is a Mercedes-Benz AMG twinturbo
with more than 700 HP and 1000 Nm torque, optimised in terms
of CO2 emissions and consumption, which is integrated with the
vehicle, giving the sensation that inspired Pagani research: that
of an aeroplane taking off.

To strengthen and enhance the characteristics of the new Pagani,
Pirelli Research developed tyres with compounds and solutions that
reduce rolling resistance whilst boosting performance
characteristics, both in terms of safety and driving pleasure. In
addition, these tyres have a reduced environmental impact. Huayra
wears the P Zero measuring 255/35ZR19 (96Y)XL P Zero and
335/30ZR20 (104Y) P Zero. The underlying technology is that
already used on other P Zero sizes and now boasts almost 200
official approvals as original equipment. This means peak
performance is guaranteed for such an extreme sports vehicle,
without, however, affecting safety, which must always be
guaranteed, both for road and track use and in the wet. Pirelli
uses a new two-compound solution for the rear, which allows
lateral grip to be maintained to the full, along with stability,
even at very high speeds indeed, increasing driving precision and
eliminating deterioration even from the front. Pirelli has also
used a new production process (already used for the slicks of the
Zonda R), which guarantees maximum precision in the assembly of
the various tyre parts.

I think the doors ruin it for me. When they are open it looks so dumb. I would've preferred an Enzo style door. The Gullwing and SLS are the only 2 cars that have that style door and pull it off.

 

And the gumpert?
I agree that it needs different doors though
