Pagani Huayra Used for Grocery Shopping Causes a Stir, but Does It Work?

Once upon a time, automotive tales involving supercar owners using their credit cards as luggage were mildly amusing. Nevertheless, such stories have gotten old, with contemporary supercars having to show at least microscopical signs of a practical side.
Now, that sounds like the kind of melody we'd like to listen to, but how it is translated into the real world? We'll use a Pagani Huayra, the... mainstream eccentric's high-octane machine choice, to illustrate this.

One of these Italian beauties was recently used for a grocery shopping sting, with the feat having been caught on camera. The action takes places in Greenwich, Connecticut, with the Pagani listening to the instructions of its master.

We're talking about a Gemini Uno Huayra. Among others, this means the wonderfully sculpted body of the machine only has a blue lacquer covering the carbon fiber.

We'll start with the data not offered in the video, which tells us Pagani has gifted the Huayra with about three cubic feet (85 liters) of luggage capacity.

The issue is that, unlike in the case of Ferraris, Lamborghinis or Mclarens, you can't store your stuff in the nose of the thing. Instead, the Italian craftsmen have fitted two compartments on the sides of the car, just aft of the doors. Note that the one on the passenger's side is slightly larger, perhaps in a nod to the SOs who enjoy shotgun rides in Paganis.

Then again, we're not quite sure Mr. Horacio intended these compartments to be used on a regular basis. For one thing, you'll have to unlatch the hood before you can open their lids.

And with the kind of crowd the Huayra draws everywhere it goes, your every move will be noticed, or even on its way to YouTube. But we'll leave the piece of footage below take over from here.
