A New One From Pagani...

Pagani Huayra


Manufacturer : Pagani
Predecessor : Pagani Zonda
Layout : Rear mid-engine, rear-wheel drive layout
Engine : Mercedes AMG V12 Bi-Turbo M158, 5980 cc.

Like the Zonda, the Huayra uses a Mercedes-AMG 60° V-12 engine, now fitted with dual turbochargers horsepower and 1,100 N·m (810 lb·ft) of torque. Its top speed is 230 mph (370 km/h) and it has a 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) time in less than 3.5 seconds. Using Pirelli. This engine, the M158, produces over 750 tires, the Pagani Huayra is capable of withstanding 1.5g of lateral acceleration at speeds of up to 230 mph (370 km/h).

Unlike many modern supercars, the Pagani Huayra does not use a dual-clutch gearbox; instead it uses a seven-speed sequential gearbox and a dual-disc clutch. The choice to not use a dual-clutch in oil bath was because it would lead to an increase in weight of over 70 kg (154 lb), negating the advantage of the ability of such transmissions to change gears faster. As a result, the entire transmission of the Pagani Huayra weighs 96 kg.
