Summary: The gullwing door of the Pagani Huayra reminds me of the Star Trek teleport, transporting me to unknown distant worlds. I sit in the command bridge on a captain's seat made of carbon fiber and titanium with a design worthy of the starship Enterprise. The door closes quietly, isolating me entirely from the old world. It's as if the teleportation has succeeded. The view ahead isn't familiar like Ferrari's or Lamborghini's; it's something new and intriguing. The interior of the Huayra is an artful mix of aluminum, carbon fiber, and honey-colored leather – borderline extravagant with multiple styles somehow creating a new stylistic vision. This unique combination, brimming with ideas and influences, forms a compelling and Pagani-esque craftsmanship.
Behind me, just a few inches away, comes alive the 6.0 V12 engine upgraded with two turbos. The sensation of power is immediate and palpable. The god of whirlwind awakens, promising a storm, judging by the sound world. The Huayra features an AMG-tuned 6- liter V12 biturbo from Mercedes-Benz, delivering 730 hp and 1000 Nm. This power is sufficient to reach a top speed of 370 km/h, with acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds.
Once the Huayra sets off, it slices through the air effortlessly – or one might say, it commands it. The sound is unmistakably loud in a good way. Difficult to describe in words, the engine's roar seems always on the verge of madness. Pirelli P Zero tires screech against massive ceramic brakes, while the seven-speed sequential gearbox makes its mechanical presence known with audible clicks. Combined with tire tracks, wind, and aerodynamic noises, I almost forget to check the speedometer as my heart races – the sensation is exhilarating and addictive.
After driving, you can't simply get out of the Huayra – physics won't allow it. Your body needs time to recover, for adrenaline levels and pulse to settle, for the mind to calm. The teleportation is over when the gullwing door lifts up. But the transfer isn't entirely complete. Just like in the movie "The Fly," where a scientist inadvertently combines with a fly during teleportation, the Huayra driver exits the car carrying a piece of its godly creativity, madness, perfectionist pursuit, and freedom of creation. There's no return, even if the storm is past.
The Huayra is nearly only available used. Various models are for sale worldwide, often at prices exceeding what a new car might cost straight from the factory. In Finland, including taxes, the price can surpass three million euros – not surprising that the only Pagani Huayra owned by a Finn doesn't have local plates and isn’t seen on Finnish roads, which is a shame.
