After a series of images were leaked to the Internet, Pagani today took the wraps off its new Huayra supercar in an anticlimactic way. Some people are already calling it ugly, but designing a successor to the mighty Zonda is always going to be a tall order. At least it has a good name, as Horacio Pagani's newest design is named after the Andean god of wind, Aymara Huayra Tata.

It’s obvious that the new beast has softer styling and isn’t as aggressive as the Zonda, but the two models still have a lot in common and share a similar silhouette. The newcomer even gets a pair of SLS-like gullwing doors, which introduce the driver to a bespoke interior.

The supercar is built around an new carbon-titanium monocoque frame, while the body parts are constructed from carbon-fiber. Lightweight materials are also used throughout the car, so the Huayra tips the scales at 1,350 kg (2,976 pounds).

But we’ve teased you enough already. You want to know what powers the Huayra, don’t you? Behind the passenger compartment Pagani engineers have squeezed a 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine, specially built for Pagani by Mercedes-Benz's AMG performance division. The V12  pumps out over 700 horsepower and over 1000 Nm (737 lb-ft) of torque. All that power is sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Here are the technical specs released so far:

  • Engine: Mercedes-AMG V12 Bi-Turbo M158
  • Displacement: 5980 cc
  • Power:> 700cv
  • Torque:> 1000 Nm
  • Transmission: 7-speed sequential cross. AMT robotic system with driving programs(
  • Length: 4605mm (181 inches)
  • Wheelbase: 2795mm (110 inches)
  • Height: 1169mm (46 inches)
  • Width: 2036mm (80 inches)
  • Dry weight: 1350 kg (2,976 lbs)
  • Weight distribution: 44% front 56% rear

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s.
