  • Pagani Huayra ‘Pearl’

    Last year Pagani unveiled a Huayra coupe whose owner had requested a number of bespoke elements including a roof-mounted scoop and split rear wing. The car was nicknamed the Pearl, and it was delivered to its lucky owner last May. Unfortunately, within months of being delivered the car was involved in a crash on the streets of Paris. Photos of the wreckage showed that the damage was severe, though fortunately not so severe that the car couldn’t be restored. Pagani has since completed the restoration work and presented a video showing the car back on the road. Horacio Pagani himself is...

  • The science behind Individual Throttle Bodies

    Your average new car has a throttle body and an intake manifold. The engine sucks in air through the air filter before it passes through the open throttle body and into the manifold. From there, it moves into the cylinders as called upon during the combustion cycle. You'll find one throttle body and it's used to feed air to all of your cylinders. Some cars, however, are fitted with a set of throttle bodies, one for each cylinder. This is referred to an ITB or Individual Throttle Body setup. One of the benefits of running such a setup would be that your throttle response is greatly improved...
