To me it's more of a second generation Zonda than a whole new car.

It's got something to do with direct injection and fuel cutoff during upshifts on all these fancy new cars. Sounds like it's ripping ass, and frankly, sounds terrible. They've mentioned it on Top Gear on a couple cars. Apparently they think it sounds good, but it's not an actual backfire. It's more like the engine brake on semi trucks.
I prefer the type of backfires produced by the rpm-based oil injection of a rotary engine. Even when the throttle is closed it injects oil for lubrication, and when that oil exits the exhaust and meets a 1500 degree manifold, poof, giant flame out the exhaust.

Maybe they should have just called it the Pagani Nien Nunb to pre-empt the criticism
I do agree the looks of the Huayra are a bit challenging from some angles, especially the front, but it has grown on me the more I've seen of it. The Zonda is still going to be many peoples favourite Pagani for a while though. I'm not sure I agree about comparing it with the Aventador, the Lambo is $320,000ish and the Huayra will be $1,500,000ish. I know they're quite similar in terms of performance, and the Lambo is therefore an absolute bargain, but Pagani's are in a different league in terms of "specialness" which apparently some people are prepared to pay a very high premium for.

I just wen on Google Translate, and it pronounces it "Huwira".
I guess so in the rear clamshell and the front grill.
why-air-ra
Or let the man hiself say it.
I think the mirrors on the mule are straight of a Zonda, the Huayra mirrors are more leaf shaped. There are still a lot of design cues from the Huayra though.

It looks great on certain angles (read: certain angles), but the Zonda still looks better in my opinion, although I welcome change. I feel that like the Enzo, this car will eventually start to grow on me. I still can't get over the front end of this car however.
By the way, separated at birth?
