After months if not years of speculation and anticipation, niche automaker Pagani has revealed the successor to the Zonda in the form of the Huayra you see here. The name and styling – particularly the gaping maw at the front – have been the subject of some controversy, but there's no arguing with the performance potential.

Behind those gull-wing doors that swing upwards to gain access to a sumptuously appointed interior of leather, aluminum and carbon fiber sits a 6-liter twin-turbo V12 engine courtesy of Mercedes AMG, producing over 700 horsepower and 740 lb-ft of torque. Coupled with a curb weight of less than 3,000 lbs, and we're looking at a top speed in excess of 230 miles per hour.
