Dear my friend, the Huayra...

When the all new 2012 Pagani Huayra included on Forza Motorsport 4's January Jalopnik Pack, it sparked fury on our hearts and we are now very confused but happy to try out the successor of the legendary Zonda. At first, I thought that this car was an EA exclusive, just like, well you know. Thanks to some research, the Pagani Huayra was included at some game titled "Asphalt: Injection" and therefore stripped off its EA exclusivity, making this exotic had a mind of its own. Hey, if it weren't for that Asphalt game, Forza Motorsport 4 never thrown everything they had to include the Huayra. Heh, heh.

As speculated at a News portion at some episode of Top Gear, presenters like Jeremy Clarkson and James May find it very hard to pronounce the Huayra name. They go like roaring and pretty soon if a new series comes this year, they will end up the same fate as the Koenigsegg CCX.

Enough chitter-chatter, now I am very happy to meet up with the Huayra again on a different game. As a fact, the Pagani Huayra was named after the South American god of wind. One look at the Huayra and I'm sure your mind will be blown away. If I had to choose between the Ferrari FF, the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 and the Pagani Huayra, what would it be? The Ferrari FF was my choice because of its 4WD drivetrain mixed with classic Ferrari handling but nope, it wasn't powerful enough for my tastes. On the Huayra, it used the teachings from the Pagani Zonda R but it wasn't easy to handle than the Pagani Zonda Cinque and the flaps are too hideous. I was fine about the twin flaps at the back that raises when I corner or brake hard but the Huayra not only have those but it has flaps at the front! Flaps at the front? What the heck, Mr. Pagani? But still, it was worth the power thanks to its Mercedes-AMG M158 V12 engine that doesn't know its real power and torque figures but it is said it is greater than 700PS and 1,000Nm.

What so fun is the font on the speedometer because the font was so similar from the speedometer of the car most Koreans used to have...A DAEWOO STATESMAN!

The 2012 Pagani Huayra may have lost just a few teachings from the Zonda R when it comes to handling but the speed is just fantastic. This one is part beast, part beauty, an epic grand tourer that embodies the passion for excellence. However, it wasn't worth it for the Huayra and in fact, I'm back to where it all started. I still prefer the Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 because it was perfect in terms of handling and acceleration. The Huayra, on the other hand, only focused on top speed and acceleration, leaving handling as its low priority. Can the Huayra need to be get it right in order to become a street fighting machine? I'm afraid I can't ask.
