Ferrari F12Berlinetta vs Pagani Huayra On Track Video.

Bit of an apples and oranges comparison at Fiorano for an article on Germany's Sport Auto we can't find trace of anywhere.

In any case, we learn the Pagani sounds like an electric drill and has the most un-ergonomic, unreadable instrument ever. The Ferrari's naturally aspirated V12 sounds like, what would Jezza say... God gargling?

Enjoy.

The Pagani Huayra was quite fast on the Top Gear track

The power of tortellini, tango and beer all came together to propel the steampunk hypercar to an impressive lap time on the Top Gear power board.

Pagani Huayra vs Ferrari F12

Worth your time for the sounds alone, especially out of the F12. This is a clip presumably from a future comparo article on Sport Auto. Just sit back and enjoy.

Huayra Monkey

Be honest, would you rather spend $1.4 M on this rolling sculpture built in gorgeous factory in Emilia-Romagna or $1 M on a re-bodied Elise with a pushrod engine built in a shady Texas garage?

Surprised Harris can't think of another 730HP two wheel drive car though. Really? He could probably see one from where he filmed this clip!

Squeaky Huayra

There are two options here:

A. The $1.4 Million Pagani Huayra has the build quality of a 1986 Yugo

or

B. Evo, the first magazine to get their hands on Horacio's latest creation really did him a favor with this video...


Also, it it me or the car looks awful coming out of corners, like it really wants to tankslap?
Bad journalist driving?  Maybe but I get the feeling soon enough someone will make Jalopnik happy and crash one.
Check the video after the jump.

Thank you JF!

"It's inspired by a plane taking off..."

A perk of being the millionaire publisher of the best Car magazine on the planet is that you get invited to the Costa Smeralda to ride around in the new, amazing Huayra with Horacio Pagani himself. Takes considerable bravery to drive a 720 hp twin turbo that fast on tight and dusty sardinian roads!

Not much I can add to this great video clip by Harry Metcalfe other that perhaps, that the idea of a car inspired "by an airplane taking off" is not really what tracktards want to hear necessarily (like they are buying Paganis anyway...ha!).
But, damn the Huayra does sound and look like a fighter on afterburners.

Coming soon to an issue of EVO near you

Nasty Huayra

This IS the best angle...trust me. Looks aside the specs are impressive, but you can read about those on every car web site today.
Ex sum? EUR ! Million, 1350kg/2976lbs, over 700 hp and globe spinning turque. Active aero components.
