Pagani batió el récord de vuelta de Spa Francorchamps para autos de calle

Pagani Automobili, la automotriz que el argentino Horacio Pagani fundó en Italia, batió dos veces el récord de vuelta del circuito alemán de Nürburgring Nordschleife: en 2007 (Zonda F) y 2010 (Zonda R, ver videos abajo). Y ahora la compañía del hombre viajó hasta Bélgica para establecer una nueva marca: el récord de vuelta para autos de calle en otro autódromo legendario, como es Spa Francorchamps.

El tiempo de 2:23.081 minutos fue establecido por el piloto de pruebas de Pagani, Andrea Palma, al volante del flamante Huayra Roadster BC: se trata del descapotable más nuevo de la firma italiana, con un motor Mercedes-AMG V12 6.0 biturbo (800 cv y 1.050 Nm).

Sólo se fabricarán 40 ejemplares del Roadster BC, que tendrán un precio de 3.1 millones de euros cada uno (sin impuestos). Si no te alcanza para disfrutar del Roadster BC y de Spa en el mundo real, lo bueno es que vas a poder hacerlo en el universo virtual: Pagani selló una alianza con CSR Racing, para que el Huayra BC Roadster también se pueda manejar en los videojuegos de carreras como CSR2 (disponible en iOS y Android).

Los videos de todos los récords de Pagani en Spa y Nürburgring se pueden ver acá abajo.

Comunicado de prensa de Pagani Automobili The Pagani Huayra Roadster BC sets a new lap record at Spa Francorchamps during the last days of its validation testing.

San Cesario sul Panaro - 18th September 2020. Pagani Automobili is preparing to deliver the first units of the Huayra Roadster BC to their respective clients following the completion of a rigorous validation testing program, which was concluded earlier this month at the circuit of Spa Francorchamps in Belgium, where the car posted a laptime of 2:23,081 minutes, a new record for globally homologated road cars.

The test program conducted for the Roadster BC has been the most demanding to date. With more than 350,000 kilometers of real world testing, of which over 45,000 km has happened on some of the world's most demanding racetracks and many more on test benches and in simulations, to deliver to our clients a reliable, safe and exciting car. During development, we have been to the maximum limits in order to test the vehicle in the most challenging conditions. The latest tests conducted at Spa Francorchamps were the last of a series of final track tests, where we repeatedly pushed the car to extreme speeds, to which normally only a racing car would be subjected. At the end of the tests, the R&D department saw the potential of the vehicle and, with Horacio Pagani’s approval, did a fast lap despite the damp conditions of the racetrack.

“During the tests, we immediately realized that the car was making interesting lap times. We quickly consulted with Horacio about the chance of some fast laps and, although the weather conditions were not the best, we even set the record at the racetrack after two rounds. The car had shown a formidable character, demonstrating its potential and moving with impressive ease. Although SPA Francorchamps is a complicated racetrack, the Roadster BC’s handling and lateral grip exceeded all expectations.” Andrea Palma, Development Test Driver, Pagani Automobili.
