Someone finish that title for me...I'm trying to be nice today.
In our first look, we said of the Huayra "The turbo V12 produces a very different engine note from the naturally aspirated wail of the Zonda's V12. At idle, the engine is relatively discreet, with a heavy bass note from the exhaust. But once the engine is on boost, the Huayra makes its presence abundantly clear, emitting a jetlike roar that's audible clear across the valley of this little island. It's less thrilling than the flamboyant V12, but more obviously forceful. "
Unfortunately, Youtube is the closest most of us will get to hearing a Huayra and even in this sealed room it sounds....
Follow the jump for some sweet, sweet Zonda song.

Sounds like Darth Vader trying to imitate the sound of a racing engine.

It sounds like an overloaded blender that's struggling to chop through stuff.
Hot.

The flamboyant discotheque transformer robot that dances to alternative lifestyle drum beat interior is only counterbalanced by the raucous sound of a poorly built made in Kyrgyzstan weed whacker on meth engine. What a bargain!

Just awful and the interior is even uglier/tackier that the exterior. It looks like a child's toy. Again, this is the real world version of The Homer.

I think it sounds great and I hear it's incredible to drive.
Agree that it's not exactly a looker though.
Not all bad though, having a face only a car guy could love keeps the posers away.
