With only 100 made (plus another hundred roadsters
and twenty BC coupes), the Pagani Huayra is a rare bird indeed – one highly
coveted among supercar enthusiasts collectors. Even in such exclusive company,
however, this particular Huayra stands out as particularly tempting.
The first Huayra delivered to a customer in America,
this seven-figure exotic is the only one finished in this shade of dark matte
grey (Grigio Scuro Opaco, in the manufacturer's catalog) with a sumptuous beige
leather interior.
It was
also retrofitted with the optional Tempesta package that cut weight, added
downforce, replaced the exhaust, and tightened the suspension – bringing it
close to Huayra BC specifications (even if the 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 engine
furnished by Mercedes-AMG didn't get the three-percent power boost from 720
horses to 740).
The Tempesta package alone cost the owner € 183,000,
the custom matched luggage another US$ 20,000 all this on top of the
seven-figure base price. No wonder that RM Sotheby's, which has been assigned
to sell the beast at its upcoming sale in Monterey next month, figures it will
go for a good US$ 2.5 million – give or take US$ 300k, or roughly the price of a new
Ferrari.

vital organs on the black market to scrape together enough cash to take it home
with you from Pebble Beach.
