Oh, I don't like the huayra that much (relativity of course). The interior is too much and I think the Zonda R sounds 100x better

Thanks for that, laddie

I don't care for the wheezing and whistling, either - it'd drive me nuts in short order!
I also much prefer the Zonda exhaust note - or, rather, banshee scream

The interior looks like a Dyson Vacuum.

To protect it from UV rays. UV will damage the chemical bonds that hold the carbon fiber sheets together. Pure bare carbon fibre is actually quite easy to damage.

The clear coat that can protect against UV is very expensive. On the order of $60k a gallon for the additive used in the paint to cover the bare CF. If the WHOLE care was clear coated CF then they'd have to use ALOT of the additive. Granted the Car is already crazy expensive and buys probably don't care about another 10 or 15 grand in paint materials. You don't buy a Pagani cause you are trying to save money.

--- Post Update ---

BTW, I also prefer the way the Zonda sounds as compared to the Huayra. Zonda = me drooling and regressing to the "buy me that" stage of life.

If I saw a person mis-treating a Zonda I'd probably cry. (By mis treating I do not mean driving the piss out of it, by all means PLEASE drive the piss out of your Zondas.)
