The only manual Pagani Huayra Roadster in the world has reached its owner, with the $6.9 million hypercar landing in the United States.
Owner Vince spent nearly $7 million on the car, with the Huayra Roadster starting with a base price of $3 million.
YouTuber and racing driver Emelia Hartford showcased the car on her channel, with her and Vince walking through its details.
With over 700HP from its Mercedes-AMG engine, its impressive that Pagani was able to develop a manual transmission for this car.

V12 power is found under the hood of the Huayra
Like with other versions of the hypercar, the Huayra has a massive V12 engine under the hood.
In Vince’s Roadster, the 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged engine produces 754HP and 738LB-FT of torque.
However, each Huayra Roadster differs slightly when it comes to horsepower.
So Vince isn’t 100 percent certain how much his actually produces.
While she’s driven plenty of fast cars in her time, Hartford was still blown away by the noise and power of the Huayra as she takes a ride in it.
The same is true when she sat in the driver’s seat.
The sheer force of the acceleration is one of the car’s big attributes.
The manual transmission makes this a rare Pagani
If your pockets are deep enough, you can have nearly anything you want on your Huayra.
That is what led to Vince asking Pagani if he could have a manual transmission in his.
Cue the custom stick-shift seven-speed manual that came with his Roadster.
As the transmission has no collar, everything is out in the open making the experience even more raw.
The power goes to the rear wheels with an electronic differential and racecar-style tripod driveshaft.
This is one of just a handful of Pagani Huayras that has a manual transmission.
The first to do so was the Epitome coupe, a special order designed and built by Pagani’s special projects division, Grandi Complicazioni.
Vince gave his Huayra the nickname Executor, and it too was built by the Pagani special projects division.
Manual transmissions may be falling out of favor globally, but Vince has shown they still have some life in them.
