It looks like the problems with the new Apple Maps aren’t the only ones plaguing the iPhone 5. It turns out that the autocorrect feature is adding “random” accents to anything you type in Italian. There have been multiple reports of this issue in Italy, so it’s not just affecting a small handful of users.

I can’t speak or read Italian, but I do understand that accents can have a dramatic effect on words, completely changing their meaning. Present tense becomes past tense and the word for “and” can become the word of “he is,” for example. This comes about when you use the autocorrect feature with iOS6 and, well, everyone uses autocorrect on their smartphones these days.

While the autocorrect seems to “learn” its mistakes when the user manually selects the correct replacement, this process can take up to seven iterations for that single mistake. Considering how many words in Italian have (and don’t have) accents, you can see how this problem would affect nearly every possible piece of text you could type up on the iPhone.

So, what is the only current solution to “Accent-gate” on Italian-language iPhones? Turn off autocorrect…. or, if it makes any sense for you, switch to another language until Tim Cook and the team at Apple fix this issue.

Sure, the 700hp twin turbo V12 (sourced from Mercedes AMG) doesn’t really hold a candle to the monstrous 1184bhp Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, but this Zonda successor is perfectly capable of rocketing you at speeds up to 230mph. That’s faster than the speed of a commercial aircraft at time of takeoff.

This airplane-based inspiration goes further with a series of four control flaps on the Pagani’s four corners. They rise and fall to maintain the stability of the car at higher speeds, not unlike the automatic rear wing that you find on some other super sports cars.

Yeah, there’s only going to be twenty of these. Yes, it’s going to cost you a few grand shy of $1.4 million (1 million euro). But when you go flying by on the highway, you’re bound to get a few of those “what the heck was that?” looks from the people cruising along in their Civics.

One question, though: How do you pronounce Huayra? Better yet, can we get Schwarzenegger to say it? “Hoo-ah-rah-rah-it’s-not-a-tumah!”
