Dear Santa...

Is it too early to start my Xmas list for 2011?

Pagani has revealed images of their newest creation, the Huayra (which I have to believe is Argentinian slang for "sex on four wheels"). From Motor Trend:

Whatever you choose to call it, Pagani has decided to let you see it before the official launch at this year’s Geneva Auto Show. With leaks spouting left and right, a full site has gone live with a number of photos and even some preliminary technical data.

The Huayra will be powered by a 700-horsepower 6.0-liter twin-turbo V-12. Aside from the huge power, the AMG engine also produces an equally impressive 737 pound-feet of torque. The layout of the car is somewhat unusual with the V-12 mounted longitudinal amidships, while the seven-speed semi-automatic sequential gearbox is mounted transversely.

Thanks to extensive use of composite materials and lightweight alloys, the total vehicle weight has remained under 3,000 pounds. The body panels are not only light, but extensive aerodynamic development went into creating [the Huayra]. The high nose creates less of a wing shape over the front of the car reducing lift, Pagani has also incorporated active aero flaps in the front to allow a balance of down-force and drag depending on the situation. The rear of the car is shaped to channel air over the back and relies on the rear diffuser and active aero for down-force instead of a larger fixed spoiler.

Motor Trend's page has a large gallery of images, a few of which I've added below. I plan to be cruising in one of these with Jessica Burciaga riding copilot (the fact that I couldn't afford to sniff this car's exhaust fumes and that Jess doesn't know I exist are minor details...) this summer. Picture me rollin.
