Oh Hi: Pagani Huayra

I actually almost put a NSFW warning on this post because this is terribly close to pornography. And I almost guarantee the looks of Pagani’s new supercar will cause arousal.

Despite it’s obvious good looks, one thing I will say is that the front end has a bit of Fisker Karma going on, or maybe something of a bottom feeder fish. It’s a bit odd, but definitely not offensive. Also Pagani has incorporated gull-wings to the Huayra which sort of make it look like a flying fish when the doors are open. Still, overall a very agreeable look.

Now on to the good stuff. There’s a 6.0 litre twin turbocharged V12 making 700 horsepower and 740 pound feet of torque. All that power is directed toward the rear wheels. A seven speed dual clutch transmission is the only option and with a curb weight of just under 3,000 pounds, you’ve got yourself one hell of a hypercar. Despite the light weight, Pagani has still managed to incorporate navigation and an audio system.  Not that you’d ever use the audio system since that V12 is a symphony of its own.

Ok now get back to work before your boss catches you looking at automotive porn.

Need For Speed: Battle of the Italian Stalians

Need for Speed’s latest offering is currently available at your local video game store and for this edition they’ve thankfully decided to go back to the old old days of crazy police chases for Hot Pursuit 2.

To celebrate, Need for Speed decided it would only be fitting to have a real world interpretation of what happens in the game. AKA, they took a real Pagani Zonda Cinque and a real Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 police cruiser, put them in a mountanous road and said “go”.

The video is nothing short of boner inducing. I need to have this game now. Your marketing plan worked on me, Need for Speed.

I never wished I was in London this bad in my life.
