WATCH: Huayra R lapping Monza is our preferred soundtrack for today
The Temple of Speed as the Monza circuit is more affectionately known is one renowned for the highest full throttle ratio of all Grand Prix circuits at 68%. Therefore, the latest video by Pagani Automobili of their Huayra R on the circuit provides the best aural satisfaction you are guaranteed to hear today.
Over the weekend, the most extreme performing and lightweight track-only Huayra R was unleashed at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza where the majority of the circuit has challengers at full throttle and reaching impressive top speeds. That means that the naturally aspirated V12-R motor which churns out 625 kW and 750 N.m was able to sing its tune all the way up to the redline in what we can only imagine was a deafening experience for not only the driver but spectators around the circuit too.
The motor is exclusively used in the Huayra R and reaches maximum track performance up to the red line of 9 000 rpm. In addition to these specs, the pinnacle of Pagani Automobili technological development tips the scales at a truly feathery 1 050 kg which gives it an equally impressive power to weight ratio. Another flabbergasting number is the price tag which will set its 30 buyers back €2,6 million or about R44 million.
The Huayra R, performing on Sunday the 19th of June was part of the experience for the Milano Monza Open-Air Motor Show better known as MIMO. The event, in its second year, is a motor show based within the city of Milan which also links to the famed Mille Miglia which took place over the same weekend.
While the Huayra R can only be used in the confines of a private race track, the most recently launched Codalunga can venture out onto public roads. Read more about the longtail derivative here.
