The Pagani Huayra BC Up Close

The front and rear subframes are fabricated from chrome-moly tubing.  The fabrication is beautiful but we were expecting something more unobtanium for 3.5 million.  Like a lot of racecars, the engine and the transaxle that you can get a peek out of here are semi-stressed members to save weight, another race car trick. Check out the carbon header for the dry sump tank!  Looking at the transaxle, it looks like the case may be magnesium. Check out the carbon header for the dry sump tank!

The rear suspension is unequal length A-arms with inboard mounted electronically controlled dampers.  The shocks had no identifying markings but they look like Dynamics which makes sense because they have some good electronic spool valve technology.

Unlike most linkage-type suspensions I see, these have a proper rising rate.  I think there is a third spring back there so stiffness in bump and roll can be controlled separately.

The front suspension is also an inboard rising-rate unequal length A-arm setup.  You can see the titanium mountings for the front suspension and front subframes on the tub in this shot.

CNC machined control arms that have the anti-sway bar mounts built into the inner pivot are cool and we haven’t seen that sort of feature before.  Check out the carbon brake air scoop and cooling shroud for the brakes!
