Breaking News: An Italian Car is Coming Here...

2012 Pagani Huayra

...and you're looking at it. For the first time ever, Pagani will be releasing their newest creation, the Huayra, in the United States later this year. This is first time the Italian automaker ever released one of their cars over to our shores. Since the Zonda was born, it was marked illegal for our states because of the power and seats. Now, it seems Pagani wants to share their newest creation with everyone, not just Europeans.

"We are thrilled at the opportunity to represent the Pagani brand in the United States and we look forward to the successful launch of the Huayra"- Horacio Pagani 

The new Huayra will come with a Twin-Turbocharged 7.3-liter AMG V12 producing more than 700 horsepower. It weighs only 1.5 tons and will do 0 to 60 in about 3.3 seconds onto a top speed of about 230 MPH. Prices have not been announced yet, but I'm certain they'll be in the millions.

And here it is! After weeks of teasers and spy shots, Pagani have finally released photos of their Zonda replacement. The all new C9 Huarya still keeps the Zonda flare, but now has front LED lights, some Zonda R styling, Gullwing doors, jet-like fins, and air conditioners placed in the most reasonable of places.

Under the hood of this italian beast is a new 6.0-liter 700+ horsepower Twin-Turbocharged AMG V12. 0 to 60 is done in 3.2 seconds on its way to a top speed of 230 MPH. Not mention that this car weighs less than 3,000 lbs. making it very light. This car also comes with loads of carbon fiber, some Italian-rich luxury, and some very powerful brakes which give it the possibility of braking from 124 MPH to 0 in an eye-popping 4.3 seconds, just like the Zonda. This is an epic turnout from what car magazines describe as the potential Ferrari-beater. No word on the prices yet, but expect it to be very expensive. The car will make its official debut in Geneva in March.

Is This it?

2012 Pagani C9 Huayra

This could be it! After all this time of waiting and looking at spy shots and videos, the Spanish version of the Car Magazine has leaked the actual Pagani C9 with all the black tape and covers taken off. If this is truly the Pagani Huayra, which is its official name now,  it looks like they've overdone the design a little bit. But, nevertheless, this is a new chapter for Pagani. It's been over 10 years since the Zonda has been with us. It's been claimed as one of the best Supercars on earth. Let's see if this car can keep the legacy of the Zonda as Pagani moves up.

C9 Teaser #3

The C12's replacement is looking more refined and detailed than ever in this next teaser recently released by Pagani. It shows more exterior and interior detail giving us a better look of the car. You'll even be able to see the hood marque in the middle of the film. How many more teasers until the launch? Like you, I'm also at the point of just yelling out, "Just show it already!!!". This car will make its official debut in March at the Geneva Motor Show.

C9 Teaser #2

Another teaser featuring the all new C9 Pagani has been released. This time, we get a sneak peek of what the interior for this mighty replacement will look like. It looks almost the same as the interior for the Zonda, but there may be a few differences in the leather and the lining. I'll have more on that later. Also, it seems that the C9 may have found its name, or has it? Well, there are two choices in the works. First, there's Huarya which is Argentinian for "wind", since the founder of Pagani, Horatio Pagani, is indeed from Argentina. Then, there's Deus Venti, which is latin for "God of the Winds". So, as you can see here, whatever name they pick, we'll know that this is all new C9 will drive faster than the wind (metaphorically speaking). Check out the teaser below.

Step Aside, Zonda!

For the past year, Pagani have been working on the Zonda's replacement codenamed the C9. The Zonda R was actually a race-ready prototype of the upcoming supercar.

We've seen pictures of the car in the works and were given specs of what engine the car will have: a 6.0-liter 690 horsepower AMG V12 engine with 738 lb.-ft. of torque. Besides that, we haven't received anything else. However, now, Pagani have released a teaser clip of the supercar. It features Pagani CEO, Horatio Pagani, sipping a cup of coffee at his home. Right beside the cup is a small 1:43 scale model of the actual car. We might not see the actual car, but we can see that it still keeps Zonda tradition with the centrally-mounted exhaust system. The C9 is expected to make its worldwide debut in March at the Geneva Motor Show.
