PAGANI HUAYRO

 

Pagani Huayra R Evo

With its shapely fenders and sprawling rear wing, the Huayra looks like it was built to conquer the racetrack. And much like a race car, it's constructed with an eye on minimizing curb weight. It's made from materials such as carbon-titanium HP62, a substance that's lighter and stronger than standard carbon fiber. The current Huayra is scheduled to be the last of the line. Still, that may change, since Pagani has a history of acquiescing to the requests of private collectors seeking a one-off or limited-edition model. With only 40 production models planned, the Huayra is rare and magnificent.

The Pagani company is one of the few remaining boutique manufacturers that has not succumbed to trends and makes its cars the way it knows best. That's why every new work of theirs is greeted with respect by enthusiasts, even if it was only intended for the race track like the R Evo version of the Huayra.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo

Able to seat up to two passengers, the Huayra's interior has a look that's distinctly artisanal. The attention to detail is extraordinary, and you get the sense that every aspect of the cabin's design was lavished with care. A gorgeous gear selector sits between the driver and front passenger. This simple component bears elegant lines and handsome exposed-metal detailing. Sitting above the occupants is a removable carbon-fiber roof with a glass insert. Supple leather is used lavishly, and wood accents help give the cabin a warm and inviting ambience. The front seats have graphic lines, and their curves mimic the bold forms of the car's sheetmetal. A four-point seatbelt keeps you strapped in tight during hard turns.
