The last Huayra Roadster BC ever made, dubbed “Quaranta,” is about to hit the auction block, closing the book on one of Pagani’s most jaw-dropping limited runs. With a price tag likely soaring between $5.7 and $6 million, this beast isn’t just a car—it’s a love letter to Italian engineering and sheer automotive madness.
Born in 2011 as the Zonda’s wilder younger sibling, the Huayra cranked Pagani’s fusion of art and science up to eleven. Then came the Roadster BC in 2019, the ultimate evolution: brutal speed wrapped in pure elegance. Pop the hood and you’ll find a snarling 6.0-liter twin-turbo V-12, punching out 800 horses and 775 lb-ft of torque. Toss in a slick seven-speed sequential gearbox and a featherweight 2,755-pound frame, and you’ve got a machine that scoffs at physics.
The “BC” badge? That’s a nod to Benny Caiola, one of Pagani’s earliest believers. These models were obsessed with shedding weight, packing crazy materials like “Carbo-Triax”—some next-level composite even stiffer than carbon fiber. Titanium bits, stripped-down interiors, every gram shaved for razor-sharp handling.
“Quaranta” means forty in Italian, fitting since it’s the very last of the line. Dressed in pearlescent Bianco Benny with tricolore flair, it’s pure Pagani: equal parts race car and rolling sculpture. Inside? Black Malevic leather, carbon fiber weaving, and red stitching everywhere, with a bold “40” stitched in like a mic drop.
Fresh out of Florida since 2022, it’s barely broken in at under 75 miles, flexing at shows like Miami Concours and ModaMiami. Now, as October 31 looms, collectors worldwide are sharpening their pencils—this isn’t just a car, it’s automotive history screaming for a new garage.
