Blyton Service Station is
not the biggest garage in the area but it recently welcomed one of the world’s
most expensive and exclusive cars to its ramp. The £850,000 Pagani Huayra had
been testing at nearby Blyton Park Circuit and its team of four engineers from
the factory in Modena, Italy needed to get underneath it to check some of its
systems.
Blyton Park’s owner: Richard Usher rang George Heppenstall at the garage and the
720 horsepower twin –turbo V12 – powered supercar was soon safely in the air in
Blyton village. George commented “ We often help out owners of cars visiting
Blyton Park but being able to see the Pagani being engineered in our workshop
was a real taste of the exotic. “
After a full diagnostic
and physical check, the car returned to the circuit where it performed a series
of acceleration and handling tests around the track accelerating to 60 miles
per hour in just over three seconds and achieved speeds in excess of
160mph. The Pagani Huayra is made by
Pagani Automobili which was founded by Horatio Pagani in 1999.
