Press Release:

The Pagani huayra BC

The name “BC” represents the initials of Benny Caiola, a person who has greatly inspired Horacio Pagani over the years. Benny was so impressed by the passion and technology of the cars Horacio was designing from the very beginning, he made history as the first customer to buy a Pagani Automobile.


The Huayra BC is the most technologically advanced Huayra Coupé yet, introducing innovative technical solutions which will be applied in the Pagani cars of the future. This not just a “restyling” of the Huayra, but a product that includes innovative changes in every part of the vehicle. It’s a car that has a comple- tely different personality to that of the Huayra Coupé.


Conceived primarily as road going car that will give the maximum exhilaration and performance during track days and special events, the Huayra BC has been inspired by its “track focused” predecessors: the Pagani Zonda R and the Zonda Cinque.


In recent years we have been presented with products that have delivered a new direction for the supercar, introducing hybrid propulsion, a combination of combustion engine and electric motor.

After much careful consideration and research, Pagani Automobili decided not to go the route that others have followed and chosen instead to focus efforts on other technological areas of development that aimed to:

• Create the lightest, globally homologated, Hypercar
  
• Develop chassis and suspension systems that are derived from motorsport to deliver dynamic
  
  and secure car, fast and fun, that retains the comfort typical of a Pagani.
  
• 
  Develop a completely new AMT (Automated Manual Transmission) paying particular attention
  
  
  to both the performance and comfort, without compromising the weight and balance of the car.
  
  Engine
  
  The Huayra BC is powered by a V12 Bi-Turbo engine developed by Mercedes AMG exclusively for Paga- ni. The engine unleashes more than 750 horsepower, and is approved CARB and EU6.The sports exhaust includes a low back pressure muffler and is substantially lighter compared to the system used on the Huayra coupe. The result of careful acoustic design in geometries and materials such as titanium, the sound of the car with the sports exhaust system becomes even more intense and exciting delivering a truly unique experience when driving the Pagani Huayra BC on track.

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.

To complete enhancements to the transmission package, there are all new tripod axle drive shafts, derived from the world of Le Mans racing. No drive shaft system used on other road cars can guarantee the same efficiencies in the transference of the power through the drivetrain compared to the solution now adopted by Pagani and this represents a significant step in introducing this pinnacle of drivetrain technology to a road car platform.

Suspension

The 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 eva- luation, 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

Braking System

Brembo is a long standing partner of Pagani Automobili and for the Huayra BC they have developed a dedicated CCM (carbon-ceramic) braking system, with a design that integrates seamlessly and is able to

withstand the additional demands that are a result of the increased performance of the vehicle. The callipers are made with a new proprietary manufacturing technology developed by Brembo, through which their engineers have managed to significantly reduce unsprung weight. The calliper is also stiffer thus allowing increased stability in performance under repetitive high performance braking scenarios which is critical to the design requirements of a Pagani.

Wheels & Tyres

Like all Pagani models, the Huayra BC will be exclusively equipped with Pirelli tyres. Specifically, the
car will run on P Zero Corsa in 255/30ZR20 and 355/25ZR21 sizes, guaranteeing the new hypercar from Modena high levels of safety in all usage conditions. The latest P Zero Corsa has a more aggressive-looking asymmetric tread pattern, with three longitudinal grooves reminiscent of the Formula One slick tyres from a few years ago. Another link with Formula One exists in the tyre’s geometry and the structure of the bead, which has been designed to absorb the intense stress and flexing generated by a car that puts out more than 1000 horsepower. Pirelli’s engineers have created a bespoke product for the Huayra BC that uses new polymers of high molecular weight, improving grip. New mixing systems also mean that the distribution of materials is optimised. Finally, a new structure has reduced the weight of the tyre by around 3%. The lightweight, functionally focused, forged wheels are sized 20 inches on the front axle and 21 inches on the rear axle. In a track optimised specification the Huayra BC can be equipped with the Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R on dedicated 19 inch front wheels and 20 inch rear wheels. These tyres have been developed for track use only and help the vehicle to achieve staggering lateral accelerations with peaks of 2G.

ESP


The Bosch ESP system has been specially calibrated to make the most of the newly developed components and in addition to the familiar driving modes of “Comfort” and “Sport”, a third mode has been added for track use, suitably called “Track”. The modern generation of traction control systems, allow you to optimi- ze performance, and maximize the available traction, assisting even the most experienced drivers, without hindering the driver involvement or enjoyment.

Aerodynamics


Underpinning the design of the Huayra Coupé was concentration to maximize the aerodynamic efficiency in terms of resistance to attrition and the cancelling out the effect of “lift” on the vehicle body, incorporating for the first time in the history of supercars, active aerodynamics.


The philosophy behind the Huayra BC sought to bring this concept to extremes in the pursuit of aerody- namic performance by increasing downforce even further. During the birth of the Zonda, Horacio Pagani worked in the wind tunnel together with Gian Paolo Dallara, founder of Dallara Automobili and was a great inspiration and mentor to the young Horacio. For the Huayra BC, Horacio and his team have worked extensively on the aerodynamic properties of the car. The many months of study and CFD simulations have defined a form that generates maximum downforce for a performance car like the Huayra BC whilst retaining the unmistakable design language of Pagani.

Even the internal aerodynamics were treated with equal attention, in order to extract the maximum available performance. The air speed has been increased in across all ducts and inlets, ensuring not only the effective cooling of the mechanical components, but critically the evacuation of the air, resulting in a drama- tic reduction of the aerodynamic drag.


The Huayra BC has been completely redesigned and except for the roof does not share a single body panel with the Huayra Coupé.

Interior

Less is more - The interior of the Huayra BC was designed with appealing traditional Pagani aesthetics and built with a racing emphasis and weight saving in mind.


An electric parking brake replaces the previous mechanical one, saving on some additional weight.The ste- ering wheel is covered in suede leather for optimum grip. The black anthracite colour is a hallmark of the elements of this performance orientated car.

@LaArtist can you find high res version of the 2nd batches of photos you have posted?

 

[Merc1]

Goodness. All alone and stunning......

How do I look?

From the back?

You're not allowed on the lawn, but I am. Look at how I look on it.

I can actually outrun any storm, watch me do it.

Your Aunt (see her?) is amazed by me.

My soul is inside, I'll be back out in a min.

[Zafiro]

I never been a fan of the design, not inside or outside, this is not different. But a new supercar is always welcome. More choices for the 'super rich' and more dreams for people like us.

Awesome car I am so happy they are bringing out a monster version to make a rival for the holy trinity.

Here is a drive review from AMS:

Fahrbericht Pagani Huayra BC
First exit in the new super-Pagani
V12 biturbo, 800 PS and 1,100 Nm of torque at just 1,218 kilos, price: 2.4 million euros - a first, exclusive short-trip in the new super sports car Pagani Huayra BC.

Get up at night at 3:30 PM. Snap time test car and drive with blowing snow from Stuttgart to Milan. Then fly from Milan Linate to Catania in Sicily, and then spend hours struggling once again with a 1.3-liter Fiat 500L diesel car hire across a busy Island Highway. Does not sound like fun, but it is. Because at the end of the arduous 15-hour arrival a true automotive artwork waiting to be driven: the Pagani Huayra BC.

19.00, we are in a dark courtyard, which is diffusely illuminated with this for Italy so typical, yellowish light. A secluded country estate in the Sicilian fields before the baroque city of Ragusa, there has us Horacio Pagani launched."What does the new Huayra name abbreviation" BC "?" "BC is Benny Caiola," says Horacio. Optical is immediately clear that the Huayra BC is the hardcore version of the previous Pagani Huayra supercar. The gleam in the eyes of the now 60-year-old admits he is still with so much passion in the matter, as it did in 1992 when he founded the small batch forged in northern Italy San Cesario sul Panaro near Modena.

Pagani Huayra BC is a tribute to the first customer
Benny Caiola was the first customer, who believed in the life dream of Pagani. Almost like a brother told Horacio history of the New York Ferrari collector Caiola, who has bought the very first Pagani car ever produced 1999th "Then wrote a letter Benny, in which described the car as Michelangelo in the automotive industry. He also enclosed a check for $ 1,000, I mean a mechanic, as thanks for the good work, for dinner invite," said Horacio still remembers clearly proud back.

2010 died of sports car collectors Caiola. Soon the idea was born to appoint a Pagani after him. The Pagani Huayra BC has not only by the basic Huayra known, active aerodynamics flaps on the front and rear, but a fundamentally modified aerodynamic concept. All body parts to have been redeveloped up to the roof section. The front fascia now wears a sweeping front splitter and carbon flics. The back also revised the Pagani developers. In addition to the modified diffuser comes a fixed rear wing used.

Pagani Huayra BC with wheel arch ventilation as the 911 GT3 RS
At the front wings falls to the on a fascinating aero detail, we know from the sports car series development to date only from the current Porsche 911 GT3 RS: Upper Radhausentlüftungen, remember their slots more racing than approved. Compared to the previous Huayra also grew the lateral Radhausentlüftungen who sit at BC in the doors. The word "door" understates also the Pagani Huayra BC powerful. Almost majestic stands of small-series supersport its doors.

About 20 copies of the BC will be created by hand. Besides 136 Zonda models so far have left the factory halls of Pagani 94 "normal" copies of the Huayra."We want to make no 300 vehicles per year. Pagani will remain exclusive," says Horacio. 37 automobile art 120 Pagani staff in the past year have made.

Each set of Horacio is filled with passion. Passion that knows not only his own vehicles. "I love beautiful cars," says Pagani boss. He almost be a laferrari bought because of "is so beautiful". Why is it then but but become a Porsche 918 Spyder? "That's the everyday easier to drive than the LaFerrari. The 918 is perfect, but unfortunately too heavy," says Horacio, who also owns a Carrera GT alongside the 918.

Empty weight of the super-Pagani: only 1218 kg
While the Pagani Huayra BC there slumbers in the courtyard, Horacio asked inside the rustic-elegant estate us. Fire, antipasti, stories - is listening at Pagani appointments just as captivating as the driving experience itself Where were we.? True, the weight. Much too heavy is the hybrid Sportsman 918 with its more than 1,600 kilograms. "We deliberately decided against the issue hybrid because we lightweight is very important. Our customers feel the same way. No customer has ever asked us if we do not want to build a hybrid. We have a Nürburgring simulation made with a hybrid vehicle which is 200 hp more, but was still five seconds slower than with a conventional drive. that says everything, "said Horacio. With a curb weight of 1218 kg is the Huayra BC, which also carries a monocoque made of titanium and carbon fiber under his body, approximately 130 kilos lighter than the base Huayra be (curb weight 1350 kg).

It is now 23.30. We could hear even forever Horacio stories, but against a night high-speed trip through the former route of the Targa Florio we would have no objection nothing. But masters and artwork to keep sleep - we shortly get a slot from 5am to 11am for photos and driving impressions allocated.

The Pagani Huayra BC cost 2.4 million euros
Before the short night's sleep still want to be sent home to gen an important email. About this driving date by which floats a numerical value, which makes everything different today than usual 2.4 - please leave again melt in your mouth -. Two point four million euros will cost the Pagani Huayra BC. Since you have but to ask again, what about the insurance. The answer from the Pagani-PR department is clear: "The car is not registered and not insured!" In plain language. For damages we are responsible.

Uffff, deep breath. This announcement made in advance of the travel date, understandably, for a lively e-mail traffic between author, chief editor, publishing management, controlling and ultimately our insurance. Normally, the test car are either insured by the manufacturer or "our" insurance and up to a total loss of more than 1.5 million euros. Okay, to the value of the Pagani Huayra BC is reached, but is pending a grand family house in a prime location. Long story short, by raising the deductible on 25,000 euros was our insurance green light, but want to be informed about the exact time of the driving event at any time. So now again at midnight a mail with large distribution raushauen. lucky in the desert of Sicily there is power.

Five hours later, the total Pagani entourage stands with sleepy five o'clock in the morning-eyes from the Baroque old town of Ragusa. The Pagani Huayra BC acts before the historical walls still fresh, futuristic and spectacular than it already has. First, our photographer's turn, the once again makes great. You enjoy the pictures as well? I give at this point like to continue.

Pure fascination: Opposing Tacho scaling to 415 km / h
Yes and how it operates to now? Uh, no idea. For safety reasons, the Pagani test driver to BC draws about ten kilometers on the highway of said character until Ragusa. So far I could only tell you how our Fiat-500L-Car is legendary here.

And then the big moment. To see photos of Pagani test driver admits his place. open double doors and into the cockpit in cockpit-like group-C Memorial style. Carbon shell seat held out-established car hire stalls, Pagani Huayra BC instead of Fiat 500L. Madness recap briefly, for the equivalent of Pagani could clog the empty streets here with around 120 Fiat 500L. But the word "overpriced" goes with many other supercars quickly on the lips, not as the Huayra BC. Carbon fiber, aluminum, leather, Alcantara - the high-end processing should make jealous even Extravaganzexperten Bentley and Rolls-Royce.

The instrument cluster is here not from filthy digital displays, but remembers with its analogue round dials on a mix of historical aircraft and high quality chronographs. Not only the "big picture" thrilled at Pagani, but also the numerous detailed solutions like the opposite speedometer scale up to 415 km / h, the leather straps for the closure of the front cover and hood or the ignition key. His sculpture is more like a model car 1:43 scale.

V12 biturbo now with 800 instead of 730 PS
the Huayra BC is started yet classically by Zündschlüsseldreh. Short starter err, then the six-liter V12 biturbo awakened yet throaty, still seething than before to live. A short burst of gas - dark V12 idle gargling is tinny exhaust rumble. The centrally arranged exhaust system with each stacked twin tailpipes similar Pagani-typically a work of art. Compared to normal Huayra the BC model uses a new titanium exhaust system that will weigh only 2.9 kilograms and will be thus around seven kilos lighter than before.

The traditional engines marriage between Pagani and AMG remains fresher than ever, the Huayra BC. The M158-called V12 mid-engine, the base of which was, among other things once active in the SL 65 AMG Black Series, the sports division of Mercedes manufactures exclusively for Italian small volume manufacturers. 730 hp and a maximum of 1,000 Newton meters torque exploded previously in Huayra-tail. And how does the current six-liter engine with increased performance? No idea, just as much as I can so far say: At 30 km / h Zuckeltempo behind the vorrausfahrenden Photo car the 800 hp biturbo behaves surprisingly tame. A small movement of the gas pedal and immediately surged to an enigmatic hiss - harbingers of infernal Turbo Punch with a maximum torque of up to 1,100 Newton meters. The performance called Pagani as yet "not final".

Opposites attract: Fiat 500L and Pagani Huayra BC
End of photo tour in the old town of Ragusa. Why do we torment with the mid-engine heroes only through city traffic today? With the "Autodromo di Pergusa" but also offers a wonderful Sicily track where you begin to have the transverse dynamic capabilities of the Pagani Huayra BC at least can fathom.

For use on the race track has Pagani, in addition to the standard 20-inch wheels in front and 21-inch wheels at the rear, together with Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires, the combination of 19- and 20-inch Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R tires at , How react the refined steering? As directs the BC one of the newly developed suspension including adjustable Ohlins dampers? As delay of BC with its Brembo Ceramic break system. Questions that unfortunately all remain open today. In the lateral dynamic "would, if" mingles politely the Pagani test driver again. Time for Sharing. From 2.4 million euros will be 20,000 euros again. Get out of the Pagani, getting back into the rental Fiat.

Wow, the sunrise over Sicily compensated for the previously today unprecedented V12 experience. Back to the aforementioned character. What we have not yet mentioned: The farm has a small private airfield with paved runway. Well since we are surely allowed short times lie a 800 horsepower track rubber? You guessed it, a maximum speed photo are now allowed.Damn, some have an extra helping spread gravel on the 660-meter-long runway ahead. Saying that we have the automobile artwork here not "sandblasting" with forciertem pace should.

What is it now, after the spectacular sunrise designs, with a driving impression from? "Later on the road", the answer is the Pagani-escort. "Later on the highway" means a typical island country road with branches from any time a historical tractor could turn with pace - so the ideal terrain for a 800 hp mid-engine sports. No matter, back out of the Fiat 500L and again purely in the Huayra BC.

Here Turbos may still sound like Turbo
In the passenger seat now sits the Pagani test driver and asks if we know that the car will cost 2.4 million euros and is not insured? "Twenty-five thousand would cost us a maximum departure," we reply. Further details of our insurance history lost in the acoustic biturbo Inferno, as the two loaders now pressing compressed air to the V12 heart at full load. What is the traction here on the road? The BC could probably easy draw black lines with spinning wheels up to fourth gear. we not Try. First, second, third and fourth gear almost. Woooooouuuuuusssch-ziiiiiiisssch, Woooouuuuuuussschh-ziiiisssschh - after each shift of the new seven-speed automatic transmission from Xtrac the AMG V12 fascinated with heartrending biturbo sounds. Here the turbo technology may still sound like they sound original and is not artificially filtered out. Today, the most impressive experience.

After 1.8 kilometers, it is then swap - Fiat 500L instead Huayra BC. At least one question can thus now be completely clarified and that those of our controller, its mail reached me in Sicily: "Dear Mr. Gebhardt, the car has survived her test?" Yes! But a counter-question we still have: What our insurance says it to a racetrack appointment with the Pagani Huayra BC.After driving appointment that no one was actually, it's a matter of honor that we try car of sport, inviting the over-Pagani to a test at Hockenheim or on the Nordschleife.

That sounds like a every expensive weight reduction given how light the car already is.

 

[Soup]

Why is MB supplying the V12 engines with 3-Valves and not 4-Valves ? I noticed the same thing when I had a look at the G65 AMG + S600

I don't like the 6,200 rpm redline
