[Red Schneider]

It's not a Huayra, but still:

New one by evo:



Just amazing.

Saw a Huayra parked next to an MP4-12C at Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend. Looks interesting but not nearly as dramatic as the Zonda. It's not as pretty as the -12C either.

Thanks for the link!

To me Zonda looks much faster (by the looks only ). Huayra looks bigger and fatter compared to a Zonda. All I know that is that I like Zonda much better.

Pagani have the new record on the Top Gear test track, with a 1:13.8 comparing to the Aerial Atom's 1:15.1.

I suspect the P1 McLaren will nudge ahead when it arrives, but the Pagani seems to have a magical X factor about it. Even the toned down V12 Bi Turbo sound can't take away from this masterpiece.

Honestly, I don't know if it will. 1:13.8 is an absolutely insane time.

IMHO, the Gumpbert Apollo is cooler than any car mentioned in this thread

To put in to perspective, the Ferrari FXX driven by Schumacher himself only did a 1.10 something.

That was with illegal (road-wise) slick tyres though.

That´s my point.

What the Pagani did is hugely impressive considering it´s so close to a prototype with one of the best drivers ever and running on slicks.
Probably more downforce as well.

Aha, I thought you meant that it wasnt that impressive since the fxx did it 3 seconds quicker! Yes I agree completely, its a blistering lap time, amazing car.

[NoDivergence]

I honestly think the McLaren P1 on road tires will be as fast as the FXX on slicks.

[Nando]

One has to keep in mind the Enzo base is over 10 years old as well.
I´m interested to see what they will bring out, rumor is 950 horses,

Koenigsegg Agera R
Pagani Huayra
Ferrari XXXX
Porsche 918 Spyder

An interesting group of cars for sure.

Having seen more and more of the P1 I think it will just about beat the Huayra. But, and this is a big but as no one has actually driven the 2 in comparison, I wonder if the P1 will have too much assistance in getting its time compared to that of the pagani?
By assistance, I mean the Stig was balls to the wall with TC turned off. Maybe the P1 is setup for all gizmos to be turned on a la MP4-12C. It's not a slight on McLaren, just how they go about their business.
Prudent I suppose when you are forking out this much for an exotic.

I suppose too that you require a very hairy chest and monstrous coconuts to extract even 70% of what the Stig managed in the Huayra.

Time will no doubt tell.
