Ignoring earlier grey imports, Pagani Automobili made their official Middle East debut in the UAE at the Yas Marina Circuit last weekend, where they showcased their Pagani Huayra hyper-car.

The gullwinged Huayra is powered by a Mercedes-AMG 6.0-litre V12 twin turbo engine that develops 720 hp and 1,000 Nm of torque. It is mated to a 7-speed sequential transmission which enables it to accelerate from 0-100 kph in 3.3 seconds and hit a top speed of 370 kph.

Personally designed by Horacio Pagani and built in Modena, Italy, the Huayra will cost around AED 5.5 million.

Aladiyaat Group will be the UAE dealer for Pagani.
