Pagani Huayra

The Pagani Huayra is a mid-engine sports car built by the Italian maker Pagani as the successor to the Zonda. It is named after Wayra Tata, the wind god of the Quechua people of South America. Pagani revealed it online with a press release on 25 January 2011, and it had its official debut at the Pirelli headquarters in Milan in February 2011. Power comes from a twin-turbocharged 6.0 litre Mercedes-AMG M158 V12 rated at 740 PS, and the seven-speed sequential gearbox uses a single clutch because a dual-clutch unit would have added over 70 kg. Active aerodynamics move four flaps and the front ride height to trim drag or add downforce. Top Gear named it Hypercar of the Year 2012, and production was limited to 100 units under Pagani's agreement with engine supplier Mercedes-AMG.
