Your my best friend so I think I'm going to make you a car: Pagani Huayra BC

All super car enthusiasts have heard of the Pagani, the Zonda supercar was released for viewing at the Geneva show in 1999. So in the world of car releases Horacio Pagani uses Geneva as the platform to release his newest model. The history of the Huayra started in 2011 with its first release. The car boasted some amazing spec’s and is more known for its track prowess more so than it’s cruisability ala a Bugatti Chiron.



The Pagani Huayra original
V12 twin turbo: 730hp and 737lb tq Mercedes sourced AMG engine

So than we don’t hear from Pagani for many years and they release a whole new model named the BC. The actual specifications have not been announced but let’s take a look at the rumored spec’s:

It’s a track car so look at the weight: 1218 kg / 2685 lb
Power: 780+ hp / 790 lb tq



  

If you can do the math a good estimate is for every 100lb there should be 100hp to power your vehicle that brings into a sports car territory. This car 2685 and 780hp, I’m a bit scared of what you will get into but the car is mated to the track like an indy racer so aerodynamics maybe challenged up high.



  



Weight Savings straight from Pagani:

Suspension
Specially developed, bespoke suspension system of the Huayra BC, is the lightest and most effective ever applied to a road going hi-performance vehicle. The suspension components themselves are forged from HiForg, a lightweight aeronautic aluminium alloy of exceptionally high strength. Continuous evaluation, calculations and testing have allowed us to optimize the design to achieve a weight saving of 25% compared to the suspension of the Huayra Coupe. Even the uprights have been completely redesigned, reducing the weight and increasing the rigidity of the components. This translates into a noticeable increase in the dynamic capabilities of the car, being even more responsive and reactive than before

Transmission
The Huayra BC features a 7-speed AMT (Automated Manual Transmission) developed from scratch and represents a new benchmark in this transmission technology. The gearbox, developed and manufactured by Xtrac, features a new electro-hydraulic actuation system and new carbon fibre synchronizers, designed to increase the precision of gear engagement and further reduce gearshift times. The clutch control program has also been heavily revised, allowing greater accuracy, despite the increased torque of the engine. A brand new electronic active differential has been introduced to the platform. The advanced electronic differential control allows the differential to adapt to a full range of demanding driving conditions, from low grip situations, to the extreme driving performance required on the track, always maximizing the traction and increasing the stability of the vehicle. The result is a highly rewarding and dynamic experience that always inspires confidence. The weight of the gearbox, including the electronic differential, is approximately 40% lower compared to that of a dual clutch transmission of the present generation. The transverse layout contributes towards the compact packaging and focuses the mass towards the vehicles’ centre of gravity. The net result is that it reduces the polar moment of inertia which has a negative effect on the stability and can create a tendency to oversteer.







 

The great part of the vehicle is the dedication portion, Horacio commemorates this vehicle to his first customer Benny Caiola. It has no bearing to the car specifications but gives a moment of appreciation for the first buyer of the vehicle from a supporter from the beginning.
