Pagani Huayra (C9)
In the world of supercars you have many different players. Ferrari is the technological wonder child, while Lamborghini is that school bully that developed a bit of common sense with age. Aston Martin is the sophisticated gentlemen spy that can charm any living thing with a single word. Then, you come to Pagani, the new boy. These cars don?t feature any sophistication or old world charm. Yet, their radical designs and outrageous performance have placed them in the top tier of the supercar tree and now, we have a new version, the C9.
In the world of follow-ups, this one is massive. Sort of like the Godfather II following the Godfather. The Zonda was the car that made Pagani into the company you see today. Automotive journalists loved it and the base version spawned many different special editions and one-offs like the Zonda F and Cinque. It was like nothing ever seen before. The Zonda’s development was evolutionary, but the C9 that will replace it will be revolutionary.
Updated 12/29/2010: Pagani has revealed the first teaser video of the future C9 supercar. And while the video only shows a look-a-like for Pagani founder, Horatio Pagani, drinking a cup of coffee and picking up what looks to be a small scale model of the supercar, we are happy to know that the company is preparing the official launch.
Updated 01/06/2011: Yesterday we found out that the C9 will in fact be called the Huayra, and today more information is being divulged through a teaser video. Called "Dues Venti," this second teaser reveals details from the interior. Enjoy!
UPDATE 01/14/11: Pagani has revealed the third teaser video of the future C9 supercar. All that means to us is that we are only two teasers away from getting a look at the actual car! Of course, we won’t turn down another teaser either, which goes a little more in depth with a look at the car’s headlights, wheels, and carbon fiber grille elements. It also reveals the new steering wheel and instrument cluster. Check it out!
