After taking a look at our high-res image gallery below, they were tempted to say the Pagani Huayra made its o-fish-ial web debut... but they won't. Oh, wait.


In any case, Pagani's newest supercar can now be seen in all its glory, and they usually approve of the general styling, despite the fact it's got something of a bottom-feeder fascia up front. Moving past that, they see a  serious set of gullwing doors and  slats, flares and strakes to fill the sketchbook of a Boeing designer.


All those aero aids will certainly come in handy when all the fury of the Mercedes-Benz AMG-built 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 engine is unleashed on the unlucky pair of rear tires - the Huayra is said to be able to speeds up near 230 miles per hour.


Over 700 horsepower and about 740 pound-feet of torque will be sent to the ground through a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Couple that with a weight of  under 3,000 pounds - aided by copious amounts of carbon fiber - and you have the makings of a 21st century rear-wheel drive rocket ship.


Inside you'll find all the luxury touches you'd expect, including a cockpit slathered in stunning hides and exposed aluminum and carbon fiber. You'll also bask in the glowing blue gauges and multi-function display that controls audio, navigation and communications gadgetry.
