World's First Manual Pagani Huayra Roadster Worth $6.9M
In a world where hypercars are already engineering marvels, one enthusiast has pushed boundaries further—commissioning the world's only manual Pagani Huayra Roadster, a bespoke $6.9 million masterpiece.
Automotive YouTuber Emelia Hartford and her friend Vince recently took delivery of this singular creation, experiencing firsthand the unparalleled craftsmanship and raw performance that make it one of the most unique cars ever built. Finished in striking blue carbon fiber, this Huayra Roadster stands out not only for its aesthetics but for its driving engagement, featuring a seven-speed gated manual gearbox—an unprecedented feature in the Huayra lineup.
Typically, Pagani's Huayra Roadster comes equipped with a seven-speed automated manual transmission. However, Vince, the car's owner, envisioned a more visceral experience, opting for a dog-leg manual shifter with exposed mechanical linkages. The result is a throwback to classic race cars, where first gear sits in a lower-left position, allowing quicker shifts between second and third.
Powering this custom Huayra is a twin-turbocharged 6.0-liter AMG V12, producing around 754 horsepower. The exhaust system, a lightweight titanium unit with four centrally positioned tips, ensures an aggressive soundtrack that drowns out nearly everything in its vicinity. The hypercar's advanced aerodynamics feature four independently controlled flaps, adjusting for optimal downforce and stability.
Beyond performance, this Huayra Roadster is a work of art, from its handcrafted interior with bespoke touches to its carbo-titanium chassis, which makes it lighter and stiffer than the coupe. Every inch of the car reflects Pagani's philosophy of merging art and engineering.
As Hartford took the passenger seat for the car's maiden drive, she was left nearly speechless. 'Oh, my God!' she exclaimed, capturing the essence of the experience in just three words.
With only 100 Huayra Roadsters produced and infinite customization options, this one-of-a-kind manual build sets a new benchmark for exclusivity. Vince, now the proud owner of the world's first manual Huayra Roadster, has all the time in the world to uncover its secrets—one perfectly executed shift at a time.

Vince McMahon in ‘Horrific' Car Crash at ‘Same Time' Hulk Hogan Died
Ex-WWE chief Vince McMahon was involved in a high-speed car crash last Thursday (July 24) around 9 am, the same time pro-wrestling legend Hulk Hogan is believed to have passed away. According to the crash report obtained by TMZ, the incident happened in Connecticut on Thursday morning when McMahon's 2024 Bentley rammed into the back of a 2023 BMW 430 and collided with a median wooden-beam guardrail. Debris from the accident landed on the left side of the two-lane highway, causing a third vehicle to crash. The impact caused the airbags to be deployed on McMahon's Bentley and the BMW. All three drivers were wearing seatbelts, and nobody was injured in the collision, though all three vehicles needed to be towed from the scene. Barbara Doran, the woman driving the BMW, later took to Facebook to share photos from the crash and explain her side of the story. 'Lucky to have survived a horrific car crash on the way up to catch the ferry to Martha's Vineyard last Thursday morning. Both cars totaled,' she wrote. She continued, 'Vince McMahon, former chair of WWE, hit me going 80-90mph as I drove in the right lane of the narrow Merritt Highway. I and the dog are mostly fine, but was lucky to have kept control of the car, more or less, as I shot off the road after being catapulted over 100 yards.' Doran added that an 'unmarked state trooper' had been following the 79-year-old McMahon as he 'sped in and out of cars down the highway.' 'Both front wheels of McMahon's Bentley were sheared off and his airbags deployed, probably saving him from significant injury,' she added. 'The trooper told me afterwards that McMahon saw me last minute and swerved, smashing into my left rear, but that if he had hit me full on, there might've been a very different ending for me.' Per TMZ, McMahon was issued a misdemeanor summons for reckless driving and following too closely resulting in an accident. He is scheduled to appear in court late next month. Hogan, who played a significant role in the success and popularity of McMahon's WWE, died on Thursday morning following a medical emergency at his home in Clearwater, Florida. McMahon paid tribute to the Hulkster on social media later that day. 'Hulk Hogan was the greatest WWE Superstar of ALL TIME, someone who was loved and admired around the world,' McMahon wrote on X. 'He was a trailblazer, the first performer who transitioned from being a wrestling star into a global phenomenon.' McMahon stepped down as CEO and chairman of WWE in June 2022 following allegations of sexual misconduct and hush-money payments. However, he returned to the company just six months later, overseeing content development. In January 2024, following further reports of sexual assault from former WWE employee Janel Grant, McMahon resigned from WWE and its parent company, TKO. Solve the daily Crossword

The crash came on the same day that wrestling legend Hulk Hogan died at 71. Hours after the reported crash, McMahon took to social media to mourn the loss of Hogan. 'The world lost a treasure today,' wrote McMahon. 'Hulk Hogan was the greatest WWE Superstar of ALL TIME, someone who was loved and admired around the world. He was a trailblazer, the first performer who transitioned from being a wrestling star into a global phenomenon. 'His grit and unbridled thirst for success were unparalleled — and made him the consummate performer. He gave everything he had to the audience whom he appreciated, respected and loved. 'He leaves us with one of his favorite expressions, 'Train, take your vitamins and say your prayers.' Today, we pray for him.' TMZ reported that McMahon is slated to appear in court in August.
