2016 Pagani Huayra BC revealed

The new model of Pagani Automobili for 2016 Geneva Auto Show is called Huayra BC, an extreme version of the Italian coupe with over 750 hp with all new aerodynamics, but for once they are not the numbers and technical data to make headlines.
Far more important, at least for the founder Horacio Pagani, it is the dedication made ​​by the initials "BC" Benny Caiola, missing friend, a great lover and collector and supercar first client in the history of Pagani Automobili. To pay tribute to a person so special that inspired the Pagani Huayra BC play of Horacio for so many years has in place a series of radical changes that make it quite different from the Huayra Coupe , at least at the technical level. La Casa di San Cesario sul Panaro is keen to stress that the "BC" has no body panel in common with other Huayra, except the roof.
Suitable for "track day" and the road
The new Pagani Huayra BC is designed especially for the "track day", ie those track days where the owners can test the most of the qualities of speed and grip of these fantastic hypercar. The inspiration comes from the previous Zonda R and Zonda Cinque , but the soul of the Huayra BC, as well as the approval is street.
Instead of following the widespread trend to propose hybrid super sports Emiliana House decided to remain tied to traditional gasoline twin-turbo engine supplied by Mercedes-AMG, but by focusing on three fundamental objectives: to create the 'lightest road hypercar the world, optimizing chassis and suspensions to ensure racing performance while maintaining the traveling comfort and develop a robotized gearbox suitable for this purpose.
Totally changed aerodynamics is the most striking novelty of the Pagani Huayra BC, with numerous spoilers and ailerons designed to reduce friction and eliminate the lift effect. The experience gained from the Zonda and tests in the wind tunnel with Gian Paolo Dallara have allowed Pagan to maximize downforce and the grip at the BC, not only thanks to the large tail wing; even the aerodynamic flow in the underbody and internal circuits were sped to improve cooling of the mechanics and the 'adherence to the ground. In the cockpit you notice immediately the electric parking brake instead of the traditional handbrake and refined finishes in black and anthracite which together with the suede leather steering wheel racing contributes a tone to the interior.
The engine of the Huayra BC is known V12 biturbo engine of 5,980 cc specially developed by Mercedes-AMG produces more than 750 hp at 6,200 rev / min (the exact figure will be unveiled soon) and 1,000 Nm at 4,000 r / min, with approval EUR 6. the sports exhaust system has a reduced pressure, a specific sound and light materials such as titanium that make it unique in the Pagani range. The 7-speed automatic gearbox is all new, made ​​by British Xtrac with electrohydraulic transmissions, synchronizers made ​​of carbon fiber and a high-precision clutch control. To this was added the active electronic differential improves driving on the track and on the road and new axle shafts with constant velocity joint derived from endurance races like the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Arms and joints of the suspension are made of forged HiForg, an aluminum alloy aeronautical reducing weight by 25% compared to those of other Huayra. The Brembo brakes with carbon-ceramic brake discs and callipers are hosted by high-performance 20- and 21-inch wheels that fit Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires 255 / 30ZR20 and 355 / 25ZR21 developed specifically for the "BC" and with an asymmetrical tread pattern similar to the slick Formula 1 a few years ago.
For use on the track you can instead opt for the special Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R on wheels 19 "and 20". The total weight of the Huayra BC is only 1,218 kg, also quite remarkable compared to 1,350 kg of laferrari , 1,450 of the McLaren P1 and 1,640 kg of the Porsche 918 Spyder .
