Uh oh. I hate to say it but it appears that I may have been somewhat right the other night.
Recently I made a call about Pagani's latest vehicle, the Huayra. Although its looks are to die for and its interior will blow your mind -- some say it is "tacky" -- it just doesn't seem to sound all that hot.
While some of this video's YouTube commenters deride it by saying it sounds like it is farting, that's a sound anyone that's been driving a high-performance vehicle -- with a fast-shifting gearbox -- should know by now.
I have filmed a couple of laps of a Pagani Huayra at the Adria International Raceway. The camera is mounted back of the car, next to the four exhaust pipes. Special thanks to the test driver for giving me the opportunity to film the action so close! Turn up the speakers...
