Performance of BC Roadster in Quattroroutte 0-200 in 8,2s and 0-300 in 19,7s is also quite similar pace to F8 Tributo.5s 100-200km/h. Which is pretty good but not really "insane". The 720S is about 4.5-4.7s, the Pista is 4.7s. The 918 4.4s. The Mclaren F1 was 5.1s. The claim for the P1 was 4s but I don't think there was any test that actually measured that. And the LaFerrari did 4.2s in the Quattroruote test, but that was on the Fiorano straight running downhill, with a Ferrari press car that also did 9.7s 1/4 mile. So I am gonna discard that.
To be fair, though, the BC Roadster did it in 4.5s in the Quattroruote test. Not sure if the difference is because of "press car", because the turbo intercoolers were heat soaked during this track session... or simply because of very different conditions.
Interestingly, yes. The main deficiency for the BC Roadster being the launch. 3.7s to 100km/h - while the F8 was 2.9s. Then 4.8s for 100-200 for the F8 and 12.2s for 200-300. The BC Roadster only doing 11.5s 200-300 with 80hp extra and while being 150kg lighter is a bit disappointing. Pagani does claim the BC has some serious aero, though - 400kg at 250km/h. Which would have introduced significant drag in the 200-300km/h acceleration bracket. Also, from watching the video, the BC could probably gain a tenth or two with a DCT.Performance of BC Roadster in Quattroroutte 0-200 in 8,2s and 0-300 in 19,7s is also quite similar pace to F8 Tributo.
Yes, it has 6 exhaust exits.![]()
What's the deal with those holes in the diffuser? Additional exhaust pipes?
Yes, it has 6 exhaust exits.
Less branching, less back pressure maybe. Might also be something to do with the aero - exhaust blown diffuser- like what Red Bull was doing.Never noticed them, but I guess on the "regular" BC, they are rectangular and less noticeable.

Is there a reason for it? Acoustics?
It's something like that indeed, I remember HP explaining why he did 6 exhausts for the BC Roadtser. The only other car I can think of with an exhaust like this is Chiron.Less branching, less back pressure maybe. Might also be something to do with the aero - exhaust blown diffuser- like what Red Bull was doing.

What do you mean by "branching?"Less branching
12 to 6 has less less pipes coming together into one than 12 to 4, but then they all go through a catalyst these days, so that tends to screw up any real advantage from doing that. I think the aero explanation is more likely the reason.I think Koenigsegg does something similar to either the Jesko or Regera as well.
