Pagani Huayra Appreciation

This car is amazing engineering, but seriously folks, its "WHY RUH". It ain't that hard.

This top down view is the best angle of the car. Too bad no one will ever see it.

Extremely doubtful. There are dozens (if not hundreds) of Porsche 930 Turbos modified with 959 body kits. Even some POrsche dealers were installing 959 body kits back then.

I read somewhere reliable (although I now forget where) that there are only two Porsche 959s to have been confirmed imported into the USA. One is (was) owned by Bill Gates.

its possible, but i do live in fancy connecticut haha. a guy came by while me and a couple friends were checking it out to make sure we werent going to do something stupid and told us that the guy had a huge collection of porsches. i tried to find the pics i took of it but no luck.

I guess it depends; I saw one video where the Pagani guy sounded more like he was pronouncing it with 3 syllables. "Why ruh" is 2; the way I was hearing it was more like Wire-uh, or WHY-er-uh. Of course, with a name like "why, er, uh" it makes it sound like the ultimate name of confusion. Hmm....

After researching the "WHY RUH" more, it really is a sweet car.

I have to say, though (and this really goes to show how far car engineering has advanced), the performance specs seem a bit underwhelming in its price category.

The thing apparently goes 0-60 in 3.3 seconds, with an ~11.2 quarter mile. These are great numbers, but not anymore, and not for a $1m+ car.

I realize there is far more to this car than accelaration numbers. However, there are a number of sub-$500,000 cars out htere that accelarate significantly faster, not to mention then upcoming hybrid Enzo and hybrid Porsche.

I will withhold judgment until I see a full magazine review. But perhaps a lightly modified AMG mercedes engine doesn't quite hack it in a $1.0m+ supercar?

Either way, I love this thing!!!
