The design of the caliper has been developed by Pagani and Brembo to decrease as much as possible the weight of the unsprung mass , resulting in a perfect balance of beauty and technological advancement . The most advanced brake caliper Brembo has ever created .
- ESP -
Continuing intensive development over the past ve years , Pagani Automobili and Bosch have developed a new ESP system for the Huayra Roadster - an electronic stability control system enhancing the dynamic capabilities of the Huayra Roadster without ever being invasive , without ever giving the impression that any power other than the pilot himself has control of the vehicle . The system is a natural extension of the dynamic abilities of the car .
Pagani Huayra Roadster will be tted with two types of roof . The rst consists in a very light carbon hard top with a central glass element , very simple and quick to install .
In this con guration it assumes the look of a coupe , with a glass roof that provides the passenger a unique brightness , protecting them from UV rays and also giving a sense of freedom typical of a Roadster even with the installed hard roof .
The second type of roof is a fabric and carbon cover that can be easily installed manually and can be stored inside of Huayra Roadster . The Soft Roof can be installed in a few simple steps
and in case of emergency .
It has always been a baseline requirement from the earliest design phases that the car must be mechanically sound with safe understeering , before starting the development of electronic control systems .
The development started on the Huayra BC and was re ned for the characteristics of the Huayra Roadster , leading to the identi cation of ve distinct driving modes : Wet , Comfort , Sport , Race and ESC Off . Each with its own soul , fully maximizing the potential of the latest creation from the atelier of San Cesario sul Panaro .
- THE AERODYNAMICS -
Huayra , the god of wind . With the Huayra Coupe Pagani Automobili was the rst automaker to develop a fully computerised Active Aerodynamic system on a production car . The concept has been further developed on the Huayra BC and brought to excellence on the Huayra Roadster .
Four aps , two in the front and two in the rear , together with the front active suspension , work independently to ensure continuous optimum safety and a considerable performance in all conditions . The active aerodynamic system works to keep the bottom of the vehicle always parallel to the road , increasing the ef ciency of the air ows above and below the car , ensuring an optimal downforce on both road and track .
Beauty as a marriage of form and function : the central front section , the front extractors and a at bottom . Always well-de ned lines . A great work of study , simulation and testing on 1:1 scale models in the wind tunnel , has been done to minimize turbulence and air ows which generally occur in an open-top car at the rear roll bar and front window level . The work carried out to ensure the Huayra Roadster with ef cient downforce under all conditions , has proved very important and took a long time and concentration . But it went hand in hand with the concept of style , creating a sinuous but de ned shape , which reveals the dynamic and performance qualities of Huayra Roadster .

“ Italy is a wonderful country . I imagined the Huayra Roadster as the perfect companion for travelling this open-air museum “. Horacio Pagani
