New Pagani, active aero? or radiator access

Noticed this feature in the EVO video tease of the new Pagani Huayra, at the 45 second mark you can see the front hood has active panels. Active aerodynamic features or ability to access coolers or other hardware? Interesting either way -

very radical design; I'd expect nothing else from the boys at Pagani

Not sure how I feel about the interior... seems like way too much in a few spots.

Also, is that a huge crotch vent in the driver's seat? It sure looks like that...

It looks heavier than the zonda, both weight and style wise.
The interior is busy, too busy for a sports car. Did they try to copy the veyron? Ferrari and other supercars maker really switched to a "race" car like cockpit lately, they did quite the opposite!
However with a quick look at the chassis we understand what kind of car this truly is (or can be with some random gutting lol) and the extremely efficient active aero surely looks cool!

Just saw that they are only going to make 20 a year.... So guess they are taking from the interior of the Veyron and the marketing of the Reventon haha...

I don't get it... With all the research and development that had to have gone into that thing, I don't see how selling 20 of them is worth it... I understand that a lot of the top notch car companies sometimes build cars mostly just to show what an amazing car they can make and to bring a new element to the industry. But I just don't see why if you put so much into making a car like that you would only sell 20 across the whole world.

^^^ wouldnt be the first time. enter Zonda R a race car that exceeds any FIA regulations, which means it cant actually participate in any Series.
