2016 Pagani Huayra Is Going to Waste, Looking for Someone to Drive It

Cars meant for niche segments, such as the Pagani Huayra, have been built with only one thing in mind: performance. They are also extremely rare and expensive, and that tends to make people over-protective and buy them for display purposes more than anything else.

And that’s a shame because, as said, these cars are built for performance. Take the Huayra. The Italian machine is brought to life by a Mercedes-AMG engine made to impress: 720 hp and 738 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque coming from a V12 configuration and 6.0-liter of displacement. That's more than enough to push it along from a standstill to 60 mph in 3.0 seconds and on to a top speed of 238 mph (383 kph).

Rarity in the case of the Huayra means just 100 units were made in the initial production run of which this one here is part of. More precisely, this one is the 67th made and it was delivered new to Beverly Hills. And almost new it stayed since, as the odometer shows just 922 miles (1,438 km) of use on it.

An explanation may be the fact that the people who owned it probably just wanted to show it off parked – it spent some time in a “supercar collection in Pennsylvania,” and it was subjected to a PPF treatment to keep its Bianco Benny body as close to perfection as possible.

All of the above makes the Huayra virtually brand new, and the current owner wants to capitalize on that by sending it off to duPont Registry to be sold.

The price for the thing is not publicly available, but we all know how expensive these things were new. Depending on the version, they may end up costing as much as close to $7 million – that’s how much the Italians are asking for the Huayra Tricolore. So don’t expect this one to be a bargain either.
