I’ve always had an idea of ​​what the Pagani Huayra R Evo sounds like. The hypercar automaker told us so in a teaser back in February. The images have been released shortly thereafter, and the ultra-exotic depicted a beast standing still. But like Clark Kent and Superman, I’ve never heard or seen the two in the same place. Yet.

Recently caught on track at Misano World Circuit in Italy by a YouTube car enthusiast 19Bozzy92The Huayra R Evo had an appetite for peaks and let our ears know it. Even if equipped with shock absorbers, the paganThe naturally aspirated 6.0-litre V12 was a delight to hungry ears in an increasingly EV world.

According to 19Bozzy92, the optional dampers ensure “that noise emissions are reduced to the FIA ​​limit of 110 decibels for noise-restricted tracks.” Even with proper audio equipment, what we hear through the speakers is not even close to what was heard on the track. The YouTuber adds that the dampers allow for a better appreciation of the purpose-built model racing engine“especially the intake sound”.

The V12-R Evo the engine produces 888 horsepower at 8,750 rpm and 568 pound-feet of torque. Add a long tail (long tail) silhouette and massive wing, and the Huayra R Evo grows aerodynamic force by 45 percent and aerodynamic efficiency by 21 percent. Additionally, its dry weight is 2,337 pounds. All of this is easy to see as the Pagani handles the Misano track beautifully, effortlessly and very, very quickly.

Also note that the Huayra R Evo has removable roof panels. These were retained during this particular track exercise, but when they were removed, Pagani says the open configuration increases vertical load front and rear, which increases downforce by a further five percent. The sound of that roaring engine would also be deafening. Then throw in the muffler… ugh. If a panot the V12 is the last thing you hear, could ears die a more glorious death?
