Pagani Huayra Top Car - Mercedes-AMG Engine

Pagani Huayra

Ancient legends of the Aymara tell us of Huayra Tata, god of wind, who commands the breezes,
winds, and blizzards that invade the mountains, cliffs and hills of the Andean highlands. It is
told that Huayra Tata resides deep in the high peaks and valleys, abandoning them only to
demonstrate his power to his wife, Pachamama, goddess of mother earth. With his power
Huayra Tata was able to lift the waters from lake Titicaca and rain them down on the fertile
Pachamama. When Huayra Tata sleeps, the waters and rivers lay quiet.
But the calm before the storm is about to be interrupted...









Design

The eternity of the element air. Gentle and refined, yet the strength of the wind it is able to

erode even the toughest of materials giving birth to distinctive shapes known in nature. Elegant

and muscular the Huayra merges the past, present and future in a timeless interpretation of

automotive art.

The styling of the car was perfected over the course of 5 years to find each line's beginning

and end. During this study, eight scale models were created, as well as two 1:1 models, each

an evolution of the previous in a never ending quest to perfect the form and refining the

substance.

The bi-xenon headlamps are just one of the many precious gifts from the Zonda R, and LED

daytime running lights are seamlessly integrated in the elliptical shape of the design. The rear

bumper integrates with the diffuser and is dominated by an elliptical frame that surrounds the

four central exhaust outlets, now becoming a characteristic Pagani element.



Backbone



The new central monocoque on the Huayra is an entirely new design made from carbon-

titanium. However, with the gull wing doors cutting deep into the roof, much research was

focused on achieving the highest levels of rigidity through the application of new advanced

composite materials and technologies first tested on the Zonda R. The fuel tank is located

integrally in the best protected area of the monocoque, behind the driver, reinforced by safety

cell made of different composite and ballistic materials. The front and rear CrMo subframes

offer an exceptional rigidity-to-weight ratio to allowing the suspensions to work at their best

while incorporating an advanced energy absorbing crash structure, ready to protect the occupants

in the unlikely event of an impact.



Heart



Mercedes-AMG provides the heart for the Huayra. The 60 degree 12 cylinder turbocharged

engine with a displacement of 5980 cm3 has been developed not just to meet the strictest

technical and quality requirements, but also to give the car its many faces.

The calm and harmony of driving one of the world's most refined GT car is interrupted when

the driver calls upon the Huayra to unleash its 700 horsepower and 1000 Nm of torque. The

turbos have been studied to offer immediate response to the slightest throttle input, giving

the driver full control over the engine at any rpm and preventing unwanted delays in the delivery

of power.

The engine's systems have been designed and tested to stand up to the most adverse conditions

of temperature and performance. The Huayra has been subjected to the highs of Death Valley

and the lows of the Arctic Circle. The two lateral radiators are positioned in the front to

guarantee the best cooling efficiency of the intercoolers placed over the cylinder heads. Dry

sump lubrication ensures an optimal oil feed to the engine even when the car is subjected to

the most extreme lateral accelerations. It also regulates the oil flow so that only the necessary

amount of lubricant is actually pumped into the engine from the external oil tank, reducing

the friction caused by an excessive volume of lubricant inside the engine sump. An oil/water

heat exchanger reduces warm-up times by heating the engine lubricant during cold start and

keeps engine coolant and lubricant levels at steady operational temperatures. Extensive weight

saving programs led to ingenious yet simple solutions. In order to reduce hoses and connections

as much as possible is built directly to the engine. The intercooler covers serve as expansion

tanks to the low temperature circuit and the engine coolant circuit. The vertical fins contribute

to the cooling of the tanks.

The M158 engine is homologated to meet the strictest environmental regulations, EU5 and

LEV2. Despite the increase of power compared to the other Mercedes-AMG V12 engines

developed for Pagani, C02 emissions as well as the fuel consumption have been reduced, to

make the Huayra class leading amongst 12 cylinder sports cars with values that are respective

of much smaller vehicles in the market. The two stage fuel supply system features two

microprocessor controlled pumps feeding fuel to the engine with the second pump only

activated when necessary, thus reducing the energy required to run the fuel pumps and

eliminates the waste of excessive fuel being transported and heated in the fuel lines. This

efficiency combined with a large 85 liter fuel tank ensure Huayra's grand touring ability.

Barack Obama Meets Prince Harry at the White House

PRESIDENT OBAMA:  Well, it is a great pleasure to welcome His Royal Highness Prince Harry here to the Oval Office.  I've had an opportunity to spend a lot of time with so many of his family members, but this is the first time that we had a chance to talk directly.

He has gotten to know Michelle very well, for a range of reasons, but in particular, he’s here to talk about the Invictus Games, an initiative that is bringing together wounded warriors around the world, under the leadership of Prince Harry and others, to make sure that we see not simply the sacrifices they’ve made, but also the incredible contributions, strength and courage they continue to display. 

And so we are very glad to support the Invictus Games.  It's going to be coming here to the United States, to Orlando, in March May [sic] of next year.  Michelle and myself are interested in promoting it.

Valentino Rossi Dichiarazione su Incidente con Marc Marquez Malesia

La dichiarazione ufficiale di Valentino Rossi, pilota della Movie Star Yamaha MotoGp dopo l’incidente con Marc Marquez nel Gran Premio in Malesia che ha causato l’uscita dello spagnolo e la penalizzazione dal Dottore

Marquez sa che non era nebbia rossa quella che ha causato l'incidente. E' molto chiaro dal filmato dall'elicottero che io non volevo farlo cadere, volevo solo fargli perdere tempo, maandarlo fuori dalla linea e rallentarlo, perché stava giocando il suo gioco sporco, ancora peggio che in Australia. Quando sono andato largo e ho rallentato per quasi uno stop, l'ho guardato come per dire cosa stai facendo?. Dopo ci siamo toccati. Ha toccato con la sua ascella destra sulla mia gamba e il piede mi è scivolato fuori dalla pedaliera. Se guardate l'immagine dall'elicottero è chiaro che quando il mio piede è scivolato della pedaliera, Marquez era già caduto. Io non volevo dargli un calcio, soprattutto perché, se si dà un calcio a una MotoGP, non cade, è molto pesante.
