Derivable Jewelry - The 2016 Pagani Huayra BC

Using the term Hypercar is not something i take lightly, it's almost like giving a restaurant 5/5 stars or getting 100% on a test. Perfection of this level is not something that many cars have obtained, especially by car companies as young as Pagani. The Pagani Huayra BC is most certainly a hypercar, but why? What really makes it one of the most amazing vehicles today?

You want the short answer? The car is violently fast, incredibly good looking and meticulously engineered. It has the precision of a Rolex & the power of a rocket ship. What's more, is that Pagani is an infant compared to Lamborghini, Ferrari, & others. The vision was simple; less weight and more power. But Pagani didn't do this on its own. The Huayra BC is powered by a Mercedes AMG 6.0L twin-turbo V12 which has been re-worked to put out an estimated 750+ HP and should have a top speed of over 230mph (exact numbers have not been released yet). The 7 speed AMT (automatic manual transmission) was developed & manufactured by Xtrac.

The old model rocketed from 0-60 in about 3.2 seconds so we may assume the BC is a bit faster. Also, the weight dropped about 282 lbs from the old Huayra down to a mere 2,685 lbs. That's about the same weight as a Lotus Evora GT4. Pagani was so obsessed with weight reduction they even decided to go with a single plate clutch rather then a much newer (and heavier) double plate clutch. Even with the single plate clutch shift times have been cut in half from 150 milliseconds to 75 thanks to stuff like carbon fiber synchros & redesigned internals. It's one of only two cars that has a chassis made from Carbo-titanium (Carbon FIber and Titanium). The other being the first version of the Huayra.

Going around a corner in the Huayra BC could almost rip your face off; Pagani estimates the lateral acceleration will have peeks of 2G! All this thanks to specialized Pirelli tires, a double wishbone suspension (front and rear), electronic stability control & an electronic active differential. Slowing your speed-crazed ass down from 230+ mph will be the job of the Brembo CCM (carbon-ceramic) braking system. The car certainly has a wild side but selective drive modes make it more manageable if you're just going out for a cruise. You'll have Comfort, Sport, and Track mode to choose from.

The interior still has a bit of Victorian feel, but in the red and black color scheme it seemed much more modernized then the brown & chrome we're used to in the old one. You won't find any plastic, and if it is like the last one, every single nut and bolt will be constructed from titanium. Besides the roof, everything has been completely redesigned and does not have 1 body panel that is the same as the Huayra Coupé.

The bad news? You can't buy one, not just because the price tag is roughly 2.6 Million, but because all 20 that will be produced have been sold already. The BC at the end stands for Benny Caiola who was Horacio Pagani’s very first customer!
