Engine Section

edit

Not only is the Engine section somewhat redundant to the existing "Performance" section, it is basically a wholesale plagiarism of a direct translation from the Italian press release. Note the resemblance to another translation to the press release at here (under the Heart section). Since it is directly copied from the press release, it sounds like an advertisement and is not suitable for Wikipedia. I suggest deleting that section entirely or significantly rewriting it.

Pronunciation

edit

Is the pronunciation wai-rah correct? Because according to Top Gear Magazine UK edition 214 (February 2011) the correct ponunciation is h-wire-a. This is more likely to be correct as the issue also featured an interview with Horacio Pagani. --Drumncars1996 (talk) 15:20, 4 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Since when did a bunch of car-wreckers became an example of pronunciation. It's pronounced why-rah. It's a Spanish word, and in Spanish "H" before a vowel or at the beginning of the word is always silent. I removed the wrong pronunciation from the article.

Huayra Pronello Ford

edit

How it is related to Huayra Pronello Ford, other then by name?? It has to be related by platform or parts. YBSOne (talk) 11:07, 10 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

La Monza Lisa

edit

May I ask a few questions about the (recently-added) section “La Monza Lisa”?

  • “They currently made”: Which is it? Is it “currently”, present tense, a model now in production, or is it “made”, past tense, something that was done and is now finished?
  • “1:1 Huayra”: I'm not familiar with that notation. Does that mean that it's a one-to-one, full-scale vehicle, rather than, say, a small scale model? Does that mean first generation, first style of the Huayra? (Neither seems likely.)
  • It would be good to inform the reader who Kris Singh is, and why mentioning that name is important to the article about a model of automobile. I don't believe that most Wikipedia articles about models of automobiles, even limited-production exotic supercars, include the names of the people who own them.
  • “… Huayra engine builder Michael Kübler. Michael and AMG have not released any specifications …. He also owns a 1:3 Lamborghini Veneno in Verde Trim.”
    • Does “he” refer to Michael Kübler?
    • As above, what does “1:3” signify?
    • Is knowing what other products an individual may own a useful addition to this article?
  • Finally, the Big One: What reliable sources can we cite for this section? Various editors (Thomas.W, 80.184.100.178) have previously removed this content, and we'll need reliable sources to keep it.

Super car Vs Sports car

edit

For the benefit of the IP address who is currently insisting on the insertion of "Super car", I would draw their attention to Wikipedia:WikiProject Automobiles/Conventions, specifically WP:CARCLASS which states:

Car classification can be contentious because not all vehicles fall neatly into a particular class. Also, some classes are too subjective and should be avoided, such as "supercar", "hypercar", and "exotic".

My emphasis on the type in question. Chaheel Riens (talk) 11:26, 13 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

Top Gear

edit

Apparently the lede was written by the Stig. I've never seen such fanboyish lede for any other car in Wikipedia. Please fix it. ---- 217.248.29.228 (talk) 18:47, 4 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

There is no fanboyism. Just a mention that the car won the award from the magazine. Nothing wrong there. U1 quattro TALK 17:26, 30 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Huayra R

edit

I think there should be an indipendant page for the Huayra R as there is one for its predecessor. Can someone create it? 112.134.203.242 (talk) 06:51, 21 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Pagani V12-R engine

edit

It is likely that the new engine was based on the architecture of the M120 engine block by Mercedes-AMG.<ref>{{Cite web|title=2021 Pagani Huayra R Specifications|url=https://www.ultimatecarpage.com//spec/8122/Pagani-Huayra-R.html%7Caccess-date=2022-01-12%7Cwebsite=Ultimatecarpage.com Motortrand said that its 48-valve n/a engine. If the capacity is 5,987 cm³, I can confidently said, that this is M120 block. Tsikhotskyi19 (talk) 11:25, 29 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
