Ancient God of Wind stirs emotions on local shores: The launch of Pagani Huayra

We may now have more chances to witness the beauty of Pagani cars – EuroAutomobile, the same company who brought Lamborghini, Lotus and Alfa Romeo cars onto our local shores, is the new authorised dealer for Italian specialty car-marker Pagani.

Premiering in Singapore for the first time, the Huayra is set to replace the out-going Zonda, the first model by the firm since its establishment since 1992. Throughout its lifespan, the Zonda underwent various major advancements, appearing in no less than five different variants, more notably the Zonda Cinque of 2009 (an example was present at the launch) and the Zonda R which holds the record for the fastest-going car at the Nurburgring.

Huayra: Commanding the wind and blizzard
The Huayra is Pagani's latest showcase of the firms endless pursue in creating the ultimate sportscar. It embodies various elements that have become synonymous with the brand name: ultra-lightweight through the extensive use of exotic materials, attention down to the tiniest intrinsic details, and a technical-de-force drivetrain that encompasses the best from every field, such as the AMG-sourced V12 twin-turbo engine (in the Huayra), which delivers pulse-skipping power figures yet meeting emission standards up to Euro V.

The launch was graced by founder of Pagani Automobili, Mr Horacio Pagani, whom shared his foresight and passion for building unique fast cars. Pagani revealed that the Huayra was conceived alongside with the Roadster F around five years ago. No efforts have been spared in the course of research, with no less than eight scaled and two life-sized models presenting the design study.   

The end result: a supercar with power to weight ratio of more than 510hp per tonne, featuring a central monocoque constructed out of carbon-titanium, gull-wing doors, integrated air-vents ducts and four control flaps to alter aerodynamic properties to suit varied driving conditions.   

Sharing the enthusiasm as the new dealership for Pagani, Managing Director of EuroSports Auto Melvin Goh said, "The addition of the Pagani Huayra has expanded our dealership in the supercar business. We hope to continue to bring new and uncommon cars to the Singapore market to excite the car enthusiasts here. This will definitely bring in new friends, and as how we work here in EuroSports Auto, come in a customer, walk out a friend."
