Η Pagani το καλοκαίρι πήγε την Huayra στην Αμερική έτσι ώστε να την δούνε από κοντά οι Αμερικάνοι, οι οποίοι δεν είδανε ποτέ την Zonda λόγω της έλλειψης αερόσακων. Οι φήμες ήθελαν την Pagani να μην πουλά την Huayra στην Αμερική επειδή ούτε αυτή διαθέτει αερόσακο, αλλά τελικά η εταιρία ανακοίνωσε ότι θα της προσθέσει αερόσακο έτσι ώστε να πάρει άδεια να πωλείται και στην Αμερική από το 2013.
Να θυμίσω ότι το όνομα της προέρχεται από τον Αρχαία ΝότιοΑμερικάνικη διάλεκτο Quechua που σημαίνει αέρας. Το ιταλικό supercar διαθέτει πόρτες τύπου Gullwing έχοντας διαστάσεις: 4.605mm μήκος, 2.036mm πλάτος, 1.169mm ύψος με το μεταξόνιο να ανέρχεται στα 2.795mm. Ζυγίζει 1.350 κιλά και έχει κατανομή βάρους 44% μπροστά και 56 πίσω.
Πίσω από τα καθίσματα βρίσκεται ο V12 turbo κινητήρας της Mercedes-Benz AMG, M158, 6.0 λίτρων απόδοσης 700 ίππων με 1000 Nm ροπής. Συνδυάζεται με έναν 7-τάχυτο σειριακό κιβώτιο ταχυτήτων διπλού συμπλέκτη με AMT ρομποτικό σύστημα με πολλά προγράμματα οδήγησης, συνολικού βάρους 96 κιλών. Όλα τα παραπάνω δίνουν την δυνατότητα στην πισωκίνητη Huayra να έχει τελική ταχύτητα 370 χλμ/ώρα και να μπορεί να παράγει πλευρικές δυνάμεις της τάξεως των 1.5 G. Τα 0-100 χλμ/ώρα τα κάνει σε 3.2 δευτερόλεπτα.
Το εσωτερικό είναι αντίστοιχο με αυτό που περίμενε κανείς από την Pagani. Πολυτέλεια με ρετρό σχεδίαση με το carbon, το δέρμα και το αλουμίνιο να συνδυάζονται αρμονικά. Ο πίνακας οργάνων διαθέτει μπλε φωτισμό, ενώ στο κέντρο του ταμπλό βρίσκεται τοποθετημένο ένα multimedia σύστημα με ραδιόφωνο, σύστημα πλοήγησης, σύνδεση Bluetooth και άλλα πολλά. Μόλις 20 αυτοκίνητα θα κατασκευάζονται τον χρόνο στις εγκαταστάσεις της Pagani στην Ιταλία και αναμένεται να κοστίζει γύρω στις €1.000.000.

As declared by Horacio Pagani, Pagani Automobili will sell a limited number of cars also in the U.S. market, infact, despite the production increase compared to the Zonda, the small number of cars available in every market will make the object even more exclusive
The Zonda is also the supercar, togher with the Mclaren F1, that keeps the value more than any other car.
Also presented during the week was the Pagani’s Zonda R, the ultimate example of Pagani’s Zonda series, which was awarded “Best in Class” within the Supercar exhibit at Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, on Friday, August 19.

Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson crowned the Zonda R as the 2010 Jeremy Car of the Year.
