Leaks have been because of plan com 'patiently developed near San Cesario and the new Pagani Huayra unfolds entirely in a nice little batch of 40 photographs and a statement that promises many sensations to those who have the luck of the try one day.

Pagani in the Huayra will mean emancipation as the new supercar will receive all approvals necessary for wide distribution. Consequently, production will reach 40 units per year as against less than a score for the Zonda.

The Huayra resumed the name of a wind Andean (Aymara Huayra Tata) and go blow the USA, it dons a giant gull wings that tell us implicitly that his cell is central to any new carbon to the married titanium. The body is also more chubby carbon. Huayra ultimately that weighs 1350 kg (distributed 44/56)! Knowing that his AMG V12 biturbo 6.0L dry-sump developed specifically for it offers more than 700 hp and 1000 Nm of torque, its robotic sequential gearbox will be quick 7-(double clutch has been considered the 70 kg overweight has discouraged), promises ... Huayra are huge! V-max is given for more than 370 km / h.
The front subframe and rear still exist, are titanium exhaust (under 10kg), the suspensions were forged in the Avional, a material 30% lighter than aluminum, tires are Pirelli P Zero capable accept the 1.5 G lateral force and 370 km / h at peak.

You'll notice the speed brakes on the photos, discreet enough eventually, but Huayra is as an object and its active aerodynamic configuration (flaps, ground clearance etc ...) is modulated according to the circumstances to ensure that each time the improved aerodynamic efficiency.

The measure Huayra 4.60 m long, 2.80 m wide and 1.17 m high. A beautiful baby.

Genève 2011 : léger restylage pour la Saab 9-3



Publié dans Nouveautés > Restyling par Cédric Pinatel Le 24 Janvier 2011

Chez Saab, on attend toujours la version break de la dernière 9-5, cette grande berline qui débutait sa carrière en même temps que les grands troubles chez la marque suédoise finalement passée sous le giron de Spyker. Pour Genève, Saab devrait également venir avec une version légèrement restylée de sa berline plus compacte, la 9-3.

La 9-5 marquait une petite rupture avec les autres modèles dans son style et pour son nouveau millésime, la 9-3 aura donc droit à un petit restylage pour s'en approcher ( un peu ). Rien de bien révolutionnaire à prévoir avec comme nouveauté la plus importante, une calandre plus massive visible sur cet exemplaire rouge pris en photo dans son unité de production juste devant le modèle actuellement au catalogue.

Le seul cliché visible est pour l'instant peu explicite, mais gageons avoir très vite d'autres nouvelles de cette 9-3 restylée si Saab compte effectivement la présenter en mars prochain à Genève.
