In 1992, he began the design of a prototype named C8 Project or Fangio F1 to honour his friend Juan Manuel Fangio, Argentian Formula 1 pilot.

The Huayra has a 6.0L twin-turbo V-12 engine producing 730 hp. The beast can reach the 100 kmh in 2.8 second with a top speed of 380 kmh. For the others specs :
The interior is in cream leather with alcantera and carbon fiber and comes with a 5-piece luggage set.
