One-Off Pagani Huayra Roadster Gyrfalcon is Inspired by a Bird
The latest Huayra Roadster to be delivered to its customer is a special one. One might say that every Huayra is a special car. But, this one takes things to another level. The Huayra Roadster Gyrfalcon is named after a bird of prey – the largest of the Falcon species. Besides its size, the Gyrfalcon is known for being fast and able to cover very long distances during its flights – a suitable inspiration for a car like the Huayra Roadster, we say.
The car is finished in a white shade similar to that of the Gyrfalcon’s feathers complemented with exposed carbon fiber resembling the bird’s spotted black wings. There are bright yellow accents on the rear view mirrors, over the side skirts, side air-intakes, on the front bumper and on the nose of the car. The stripe running down the nose imitates the Gyrfalcon’s beak. The inspiration from the bird doesn’t end there as the falcon’s image is also stitched into the car’s headrests, door cards and matching luggage set. A special gyrfalcon gold coin is also lodged inside the shift knob.
The Huayra Roadster Gyrfalcon is powered by the same Mercedes-AMG 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 which delivers 754 hp @ 6200 rpm and more than 737.5 lb-ft of torque from 2400 rpm.
The Huayra Roadster Gyrfalcon was unveiled at the Pebble Beach where the company also announced the opening of a new dealership in Beverley Hills and showcased a unique airplane cabin the automaker designed as part of Pagani’s partnership with Airbus.
“These made-to-measure supercars are well-loved in North America, not only for their intense technology and beauty but also for the appreciation of passionate Italian craftsmanship that goes into making them.” said Horacio Pagani at the unveil of the Huayra Roadster Gyrfalcon.
