History
The Pagani Huayra is a mid-engine sports car produced by Italian sports car manufacturer Pagani, succeeding the company's previous offering, the Zonda. It is named after Huayra-tata, a Quechua wind god. The Huayra was named "The Hypercar of the Year 2012" by Top Gear magazine. On 11 February 2015 it was reported that the Pagani Huayra has been sold out. The Huayra was limited to just 100 units as part of Pagani's agreement with engine supplier Mercedes-AMG. The Huayra Roadster's MSRP is $2,600,000.
The Huayra has a top speed of about 383 km/h (238 mph) and it has a 0-97 km/h (60 mph) acceleration time of 2.8 seconds. Using Pirelli tires, the Pagani Huayra is capable of withstanding 1.66 g of lateral acceleration.
The Huayra uses a 6.0 L (5,980 cc) twin-turbocharged M158 60° V12 engine developed by Mercedes-AMG specially for the Huayra, which has a power output of 730 PS (537 kW; 720 hp) at 5,800 rpm and 1,000 N⋅m (738 lbf⋅ft) of torque at 2,250-4,500 rpm. The engine has been designed at the request of Pagani to reduce turbo lag and improve response, achieved with smaller turbochargers, a different intercooler configuration and re-programmed ECU settings.
In-Game Information
The Pegasus Bestia (Pagani Huayra Roadster) is the second cheapest Pagani for purchase. With that, it is a slight step-up from the Saleen S7, and a step down from the Bugatti Veyron. However, the top speed is lower than both the Saleen and the Veyron.
Performance wise, it is a decent car. It has an above-average top speed of 291 mph. The acceleration is also quite good after 100 mph, and the handling is a slight step-up from the Ferrari F8 Spider.
Overall, a decent car worth buying.
