You have to love how Autoblog’s Jeremy Korzeniewski describes the front-end of the Huayra, by saying that it is like a “bottom-feeder”, and we do have to agree there – not that it’s a bad thing. It is some of the other design features that help to take some of the attention away from the front, such as the numerous slates and the gullwing doors, which have also been put to good use on the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG.

Some of you will think that all those little aero tweaks make the vehicle look awesome, but they also help to keep the car planted to the road when traveling fast or taking those corners. When we say fast, we mean fast – 230mph to be exact.

The power comes from a 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 engine, which has been produced by Mercedes-Benz AMG. I can remember getting excited when I got my first five-speed transmission, so imagine how I would feel if I had a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox like the Pagani Huayra will have?

Jamie Corstorphine from InsideLine has been at a recent promo video shoot for the new supercar, and notes that this is “more than just an evolution of the Zonda”, and we would have to agree. We have no official price yet, but Corstorphine believes that it will be around the $1.4 million mark.

How does the Pagani Huayra compare against the Bugatti Veyron – looks not speed?

Autoblog has learned from Al Volante that the name Huayra means wind in a number of cultures in South America. This tells me that the new vehicle will be able to produce a huge amount of power, as rumors of a V12 engine will certainly be more than up to the job of taking the car of 200mph.

For some time now we have only known the new Pagani as C9, so this is the first time that a specific name has been mentioned – lets us remember that this is all speculation at this moment. We are not certain how many horsepower the engine will produce, but we can be certain that it will have more to offer than the Zonda.

Motor Authority has been able to obtain a few spy shots, but do not expect the Huayra to make an appearance at the Detroit Auto Show this month. However, you can expect to see the vehicle on show at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. View the teaser video below; if you can understand the meaning behind it then please let us know. Let us get one thing straight, although this will be a great car it will never be a Bugatti Veyron.
