Pagani Huayra BC- Powerful And Rare Bewinged Beauty

Conceived primarily as a road legal car that will give the maximum exhilaration and performance during track days and special events, the Huayra BC has been inspired by its built-for-the-racetrack predecessors, the Pagani Zonda R and the Zonda Cinque. But even if you're happy to shell out the 2.3 million euros its tagged at, you can't have it all 20 copies are already sold out. Here's what makes it such a coveted coupe...

Crafted in Modena, Italy, the Huayra BC is the most technologically advanced Huayra Coupe yet, introducing ingenious technical solutions which will be applied in the Pagani cars of the future. This not just a “restyling” of the original coupe, but a product that includes innovative changes in every part of the vehicle.

Aerodynamics

Underpinning the design of the Huayra Coupe was concentration to maximise the aerodynamic efficiency in terms of resistance to attrition and the cancelling out the effect of “lift” on the vehicle body, incorporating for the first time in the history of supercars, active aerodynamics.

The philosophy behind the Huayra BC sought to bring this concept to extremes in the pursuit of aerodynamic performance by increasing downforce even further. During the birth of the Zonda, Horacio Pagani worked in the wind tunnel together with Gian Paolo Dallara, founder of Dallara Automobili and a great inspiration and mentor to the young Horacio.

For the Huayra BC, Horacio and his team have worked extensively on the aerodynamic properties of the car. The many months of study and CFD (computational fluid dynamics) simulations have defined a form that generates maximum downforce for a performance car like the Huayra BC whilst retaining the unmistakable design language of Pagani.
