Pagani
Huayra 'Project Vulcan'
The Pagani Huayra is one of the
fastest, most prestigious and most beautiful means of transportation money can
buy today.
This
car right here belongs to Brett David, owner of Prestige Imports &
Lamborghini Miami, and is called the 'Project Vulcan' because since
"Huayra" is an Andean wind god, it would go well together with the
Roman god of fire, "Vulcan". The carbon fiber and contrasting red
elements represent a sort of dance between the two.
"This
Huayra was put into effect about two years ago when we secured the
franchise," said David. "The entire process has been amazing. It’s
things like being able to go behind the curtains and seeing what goes on behind
the scenes that makes ordering a Pagani so special. Instead of feeling like a
dealer, I felt like a customer for once."
Note that Huayra's powered by
a 6.0-liter Mercedes-AMG V12 twin-turbo engine, good for 730 HP and 1,000 Nm of torque. The car also weighs just 1,350 kg, which is
less than a McLaren 675LT, basically more power, less weight and a great deal
more torque than one of the world's fastest supercars.
There's
actually a very touching story about how Mr David came to be the official
Pagani dealer in Florida. He had to pose as a potential client so that he could
travel to Pagani's headquarters in Italy. While there, he found out that Pagani
had promised the dealership honors to his late father Irv David, so when he revealed he was actually Irv's son, Pagani made sure to honor the initial
agreement.
"This
car is dedicated to my late father, Irv David. If you look on the center
console, you’ll see a special nameplate created by Horacio Pagani that honors
my father," added Brett, which means this Huayra is definitely staying
with the David family for a long, long time.
