Pagani and Bosch are showing off the Huayra BC’s safety systems that had to undergo comprehensive testing in the extreme conditions of the Arctic Circle. With more than 750 horsepower (552 kilowatts) coming from a 6.0-liter V12, the Huayra BC needs some serious brakes to match the meaty Mercedes-AMG engine. That’s why Pagani and Bosch tested the ABS antilock braking system of a prototype in northern Sweden for two weeks. The procedures took place at Bosch’s winter test center in Arjeplog where the traction control and electronic stability program were also fine-tuned. Testing commenced on a roadway surface that was iced over on one side to see how the prototype’s ABS handled the job. After that, the Huayra BC did several laps on a testing course located on the frozen lake to verify the ESP and traction control systems which were also developed by Bosch. In order to maintain the same driving conditions throughout the entire day, Bosch sprayed the road surfaces with water … [Read more...] about Pagani Huayra BC dancing on frozen lake is breathtaking

Pagani is introducing the Huayra Pearl which incorporates some features that harken back to previous models. As you’ve come to expect from Pagani, the latest special Huayra is yet another one-off and this “Pearl” version was created specifically for a customer of exotic car dealership Refined Marque. The hand-built Italian supercar should look familiar to Pagani fans as it has a split rear wing reminiscent of the Zonda S. It is part of the new aerodynamic package that includes a roof scoop which looks like a shorter version of the one fitted on the Zonda R. Some traces of the Huayra BC are also visible to create an appealing mélange of various Pagani models. Technical specifications are not available at this point, so we don’t know whether there are any power upgrades over the standard car, as if there’s such a thing as a “regular” Pagani Huayra. We remind you the biturbo 6.0-liter V12 engine from Mercedes-AMG delivers 730 horsepower in stock configuration and more than … [Read more...] about Pagani Huayra Pearl one-off has Zonda S-like split wing

It's street-legal, too. When the eighth-generation Chevrolet Corvette debuted back in 2019 , it was said to be untunable due to its locked ECU . That hasn't stopped some people from trying, including YouTuber Emelia Hartford and her persistence has paid off. Barring the existence of an unknown C8 owner going fast while avoiding the limelight, she has the fastest street-legal mid-engine 'Vette in the world. How fast are we talking? The aptly-named Phoenix with Hartford behind the wheel headed to Famoso Raceway in Bakersfield, California, with the goal of beating 9.95 seconds set in a boosted C8 built by Extreme Turbo Systems. She started the day with a mid-10-second pass, driving her C8 on a street tune burning pump gas. Runs continued to be in the low-to-mid 10-second range as additional tweaks were made, despite adding significantly more power. Switching to methanol race fuel, the 'Vette was laying down 1,000 horsepower but wheelspin was a problem in both first and … [Read more...] about Twin-Turbo C8 Corvette Claims Quarter-Mile Record In Dramatic Style

The V8-Powered sports car had a small cameo in the blockbuster film. If you’re a fan of fast cars and movie memorabilia, then you might want to pay attention. This handsome Lucra LC470 made its movie debut in 2013’s Fast and Furious 6 , and now it’s for sale on eBay with a ‘Buy It Now’ price of $63,500. Originally slated for a starring role, Picture Car Coordinator Dennis McCarthy hand-picked the vehicle for Tej Parker (aka Ludacris), and had three commissioned for the film. Sadly, the Lucra never did see its time in the limelight, and was only used incrementally for a few “cameo" shots. Wearing the VIN number “Fast 6 1,” it was specially designed by Lucra engineers in California for filming on the streets of London. The front of the car was constructed of fiberglass rather than carbon fiber, for example, to increase weight and meet safety requirements in the U.K. Power comes from a 6.2-liter LS3 V8 crate engine, and a 3-speed automatic gearbox was installed for … [Read more...] about Own the Lucra LC470 roadster from Fast and Furious 6
