China’s Super-Rich Find Veyron SS Expensive and the Pagani Huayra a Steal



With the downward economic spiral and the United States to take its economic problems, which is a manufacturer of supercars had to go and sell it to a high-six or even seven figure?

Well, China is probably your best option right now. Their number of billionaires increased from 189 in 2010 to 271 in 2011, according to the Hurun Report, and the Communist (...) the country now has nearly 1 million millionaires - 960,000 to be exact or 000 85 more than in 2010. In general, Asia has about 3.3 million millionaires, more than Europe and borders near the region of North America.

That's why all manufacturers of supercars part in the first Asian edition of the annual Top Marques Monaco event that takes place in Macao from November 24-27.

Organizers expect 20,000 visitors from China and other Asian countries have the opportunity to see Ferrari and Lamborghini, as well as more exclusive and expensive offerings from companies like Koenigsegg and Pagani.

A visitor to the exhibition is that Steve Chen was looking at the latest work of art Horacio Pagani, the recently released $ 1.1 million, 700HP Huayra. Chen is currently 15 to 16 high-end cars and is considering going for the Huayra or the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport.

"I go to many car shows in China. I loved cars since I was a kid and I was the collection of many different brands, "said Chen, who also visited the Bugatti factory in France, but found the American 6100000 $ 1.200 HP Veyron SS too expensive ...

Amar Gill, author of a recent CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets report on Asia is rich, notes that "there is some level playing field, and these companies will establish their brands and see if they get a result."

End of Lamborghini Beijing-based activities in China by Lee Wilson says that "China is super-car market is growing rapidly, growing much faster than the entire car market" - which incidentally is already the world's largest.

In 2011, the U.S. will no longer be head of Sant 'Agata on the market: This title belongs to China. Consequently, an Italian production supercar is to increase another five dealerships in 14 existing plants.

Lee says that most of the Chinese Lamborghini clients "are worth at least $ 16 million," two thirds of them are aged 20-32 and nine ten cost in cash. Oh, and by 10-20% while driving a car on the track excellent, especially on weekends, 10% had never really work at all.

"Some of these cars is not one of those miles. In essence, trucks and put him down at home, because they will not do anything miles away. We call collectors," says Lee.

We believe that we could call a person who has never run anything in his supercar more than just a collector, but you know what they say: you pays your money ...

Not So Fast: NHTSA Says No to Pagani Huayra Because it Doesn’t Comply with New Airbag Rules



Pagani’s new supercar, the V12-powered 700HP Huayra, will not be sold in the United States unless its maker conforms to the latest airbag regulations.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) denied Pagani’s request for an exemption to the 11-year old safety rule that mandates the existence of “smart” airbags.

These airbags, which are mandatory the last 11 years for all new cars under US regulations, have sensors that adjust the deployment force depending on the seat occupant’s weight and height. Only limited-production carmakers have been granted a waiver in the past five years, including Lamborghini and Tesla, based on financial grounds.

Pagani claims that, at best, it well sell five of its $1.1 million supercars in the US next year, whereas developing the advanced airbags demanded by US federal law would cost €4.0 million.

In addition, the loss of net income due to NHTSA’s denial of a waiver would cost it an additional $4.5 million (€3.2 million) until 2015.

 

 
NHTSA Notice Summary:

"This notice denies the petition of Pagani Automobili SpA (Pagani) for exemption from certain advanced air bag requirements of FMVSS No. 208, for the Huayra model.

The basis for the application is that the petitioner avers compliance would cause substantial economic hardship and that it has tried in good faith to comply with the standard. The agency has determined that Pagani has failed to demonstrate that compliance would cause substantial economic hardship.

Furthermore, the agency is unable to find that an exemption would be consistent with the public interest or the objectives of the Safety Act. This action follows our publication in the Federal Register of a document announcing receipt of Pagani’s petition and soliciting public comments.

Video: Pagani Huayra clears its pipes on the track


Like a child has two parents, so does a Pagani. One is the niche automaker based in Modena whose name it bears. The other is Mercedes AMG. The latter develops and manufactures the engine, while the former does just about everything else. In the case of the new Huayra, you might say that Pagani disappointed in the styling department (though having seen it up close, we’d beg to differ) and threw us a curveball with the nameplate it chose. But there’s no arguing with the work those German engineers have undertaken at Affalterbach.

Don’t believe us? You don’t have to take us at our word. The videographers over at Marchettino, who regularly supply us with a stream of footage depicting Italy’s finest running at full bore, have sent us a clip of the new Huayra doing its thing at the Adria International Raceway, one of eight FIA-certified circuits in Italy. The footage is all shot attached to the rear bumper so you get the full aural sensation. Check it out after the jump. And for a more comprehensive perspective on the symbiotic relationship between Pagani and AMG that has produced the Huayra, head on over to the dedicated microsite.




Video: First clip of Pagani Huayra in the round, engine started


Pagani’s latest supercar has wrapped up its endless teaser routine and the covers have officially come off the gullwing Huayra. And while we’ve already gotten the specs and seen the pics, the crew from EVO got a sneak peak at the Huayra in Italy and managed to snag some video of Pagani’s newest creation.


It may be missing the hard-charging action we so desperately crave, but we do get to hear the engine and get a very brief view of the chrome-clad interior. Hop past the jump to see for yourselves. Also, it scares puppies.

Pagani Huayra makes its official web debut


After taking a look at our high-res image gallery below, we were tempted to say the Pagani Huayra made its o-fish-ial web debut… but we won’t. Oh, wait.


In any case, Pagani’s newest supercar can now be seen in all its glory, and we generally approve of the overall styling, despite the fact it’s got something of a bottom-feeder fascia up front. Moving past that, we see a pretty serious set of gullwing doors and enough slats, flares and strakes to fill the sketchbook of a Boeing designer.


All those aero aids will surely come in handy when all the fury of the Mercedes-Benz AMG-built 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 engine is unleashed on the hapless pair of rear tires – the Huayra is said to be capable of speeds up near 230 miles per hour.


Over 700 horsepower and about 740 pound-feet of torque will be sent to the ground through a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Couple that with a weight of just under 3,000 pounds – aided by copious amounts of carbon fiber – and you have the makings of a 21st century rear-wheel drive rocket ship.


Inside you’ll find all the luxury touches you’d expect, including a cockpit slathered in beautiful hides and exposed aluminum and carbon fiber. You’ll also bask in the glowing blue gauges and multi-function display that controls audio, navigation and communications gadgetry.


Even if we’re just a tad stuck on that front fascia, there’s simply no arguing with this level of performance. Have a close look at the Huayra below, then check out the (translated) press release after the break.
