The first official-looking photo of the Zonda successor has emerged on the internet. We don't want to jump to any conclusions about the design, so we will just wait for the official release, which is reportedly due next week.

The website that first ran the photo, carsuk.net, explains that they've "had the photo for a while, but didn't want to run it and break a confidence. But now the Huayra has already been revealed it makes sense to publish the actual photo we were sent."

"Maybe the Huayra will grow on us. Maybe it looks better in the flesh (no, we haven't seen the actual car). But when you consider the underwhelming design of the Huayra and the problems we know Pagani are having with both the Huayra shakedown and its production, things aren't looking brilliant for Pagani."

UPDATE 1/22/2011: Five scanned images of the Huayra from a Spanish magazine have been uploaded.
