A rare Pagani Huayra Roadster, valued at approximately $4 million, sustained minor damage after reversing into a parked Volkswagen Golf, as captured in a viral social media video.
The incident, which took place in an undisclosed location, shows the high-performance Italian supercar slowly backing up before making contact with the stationary VW, followed by an audible crunch. While details about the extent of the damage remain unclear, reports suggest that the vehicle is protected by paint protection film (PPF), likely minimizing any harm to the ultra-expensive carbon fiber bodywork.
Social media users quickly took notice, with many commenting on the irony of a multi-million-dollar hypercar colliding with a much more common and affordable hatchback. Some enthusiasts also pointed out that this particular Huayra Roadster is believed to be one of the highest-mileage examples in existence, an unusual feat for an exotic car that many owners keep as collectibles.
Under the hood, the Pagani Huayra Roadster is powered by a Mercedes-AMG 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V12 engine, producing 754 horsepower and 738 lb-ft of torque. The powertrain is paired with a seven-speed automated manual transmission, sending power exclusively to the rear wheels. The Roadster variant of the Huayra is a lighter, open-top version of the coupe, featuring intricate aerodynamics and an opulent handcrafted interior.
While the incident is unlikely to have caused any significant mechanical issues, it serves as a reminder that even the world’s most exclusive hypercars are not immune to everyday driving mishaps.
