For a start, it’s pronounced ‘H-wire-ah’, it’s the successor to the almighty Pagani Zonda and it’s named after a South American wind god called Huayra Tata. A mid-engined hypercar with a better power-to-weight ratio than a Bugatti Veyron SS, the 1,350kg Huayra uses a 6.0-litre AMG-sourced 60-degree V12 with two turbos to produce 700-ish bhp and 728lb ft of torque. Translation? Zero to 62mph in less than 3.5 seconds and ‘over’ 230mph. There’s a seven-speed sequential driving the rear wheels only, and the ‘box is interesting in that it isn’t a dual-clutch: Horacio Pagani believed that the increase in weight (70kg extra) over a normal sequential wasn’t the kind of trade-off he wanted to make.
This 1:8 scale model takes all of the iconic design features of the real thing and translates them flawlessly into a 2800+ piece model. The opening doors, unique rear view mirrors, rear lights and Pagani branded wheel locks ensure that nobody will mistake this model for anything else.
