PAGANI HUAYRA R UNLEASHED! My Dream FIRST DRIVE in the Extreme Track Hypercar

THIS is the Pagani Huayra R! Never in my life did I think I might have the opportunity to drive a new Pagani Huayra R flat out at one of my favourite tracks in the world, Spa-Francorchamps! Welcome to Arte in Pista, and an experience straight out of my dreams.
The Pagani Huayra R is limited to just 30 cars, following on from the hugely exciting Zonda R, and marks the introduction of the Arte in Pista programme for customers to drive their R models on track together in spectacular company. Bringing a whole lifestyle experience to the table, today is my opportunity to participate in the festivities at the circuit which hosts the Belgium F1 Grand Prix.
For the Huayra R, the V12 R powerplant comes in the form of a newly developed 6.0l NA V12 that makes 850hp and 750Nm, while screaming up to 9,000rpm, continuing the partnership between Pagani and AMG. Combine that with a 6spd sequential gearbox driving power to the rear wheels, a kerb weight of only 1,050kg, and 1,000kg of downforce at 199mph (320km/h) and you have a very, very capable track hypercar.
Very few words can truly describe the experience of driving this car, the sensation and emotion at the wheel to the immense spine-tingling feeling of the engine mounted rigidly behind you. Thank you to the team at Pagani for this amazing opportunity!
Thanks for watching, Tim

No one does a NA V12 like Pagani. A race between the R versions of the Zonda and Huayra would be a must see. Just imagining the sounds of those 2 cars together gives me goose bumps. Shmee you've heard both of them up and personal, which one gives you the euphoric tingle? For me the Revolucion looks so much more menacing.

[@thijsvanderzwan2777]

I dont care what other people think about a v10 or v12 f1 car, this is by far the best sounding car ever made! I get goosebumps every single time I hear this beast

[@Narwiq]

While it may have been difficult to hear you at times, it just adds to the experience of watching at home. It makes it so much more intense, and I absolutely loved it - what a wonderful sound that car makes.

[@CP-vg4vy]

Best sounding car ever. Theres no LFA, Carrera GT, Valkyrie, McLaren F1, t.50, lambos ferraris you name it that sound like this monster V12.

[@dawn-moon]

Heaving felt the V10 F1 engines at Spa myself with my dad at the the time, a couple of years after Senna died, it's a feeling/sound you can never forget. The dB's these high pitch engines create, you feel it in your lungs as they pass by, unforgettable. Thx for sharing this with us, I can imagine from inside it must be unreal. It's the second video your Sony's can't seem to cope with the high rpm vibrations :)

[@paulkrapp]

This is epic Tim! I am so happy for you that you've had the opportunity to drive a Pagani Huayra R, and at Spa no less!

[@Baukevandijk]

What i highly recommend you guys do is book a factory tour at Pagani soon. It costs around 55 euros and it's pure magic. Especially now as customer huayra R's are still being produced. I recently went and i cannot recommend it enough, pure magic. Seeing these R's in all stages of production is a sight i will never see again

[@ing.peterdindesky8094]

That's true. I met personaly Horacio PAGANI 8 years ago and then visited his new factory in 2017. Truly amazing experience. He is simply one of the best designer and producer of hypercars. 👍🏁
