Italian car manufacturer Pagani Automobili has revealed that the design of its new Huayra R Evo hypercar was influenced by the NTT IndyCar Series and its aeroscreen driver safety device. Founder and chief designer Horacio Pagani stated that he was inspired by observing the single-seater cars with aeroscreens during an Indy race in Nashville. The Huayra R Evo features protective polycarbonate surfaces and the option to remove the two roof panels for a more immersive driving experience. Pagani also drew inspiration from Le Mans cars from the ’60s and ’70s, resulting in a 50-percent increase in downforce for the hypercar. The open roof configuration further enhances aerodynamic efficiency and increases the total downforce by an additional five percent.
