The Pagani Huayra, which is named after a wind god, first became public in January of 2011 during an online press release, and subsequently, the official world debut took place in February of that same year at the Pirelli headquarters in Milan, Italy. This particular example shown here is a 2014 Pagani Huayra Coupè (car number 87) of just around 100 total examples produced for the entire world. This particular Huayra is complete with the highly desirable ~$170,000 Pacchetto Tempesta Upgrade Kit, which consists of both a new carbon fiber rear diffuser and front diffuser, a new exhaust, special software, upgraded suspension, and much more. Chassis 87 is complete in a full bare red carbon finish over a black and red leather interior, and is truly a remarkable machine to take a look at in person. The Huayra was of course designed by the companies founder, Horacio Pagani, who builds his cars not only to achieve high performance and exclusivity, but also a level of class and luxury that simply can’t be compared to many other cars in the world. One notable feature of the Huayra is the presence of advanced active aerodynamics that include four independently operating flaps located on the front and rear of the vehicle that raise and lower depending on situations such as speed, acceleration, steering angle, and throttle position. From 2012-2018 Pagani planned to produce only 100 total examples of the Pagani Huayra making this not only one of the most beautiful cars in the world, but also one of the rarest. Since the Huayra’s release, the platform since been updated and enhanced through several through variants that include the Huayra Roadster, the Huayra BC, the BC Roadster, the Imola, and most recently, the Huayra R.
