Monaco is no stranger to rare supercars and spectacular staging. But this time, it was an embarrassing scene, to say the least, that attracted the attention of passers-by and Internet users: a Pagani The Huayra Roadster, estimated at over 3 million euros, had a moment of glory... for all the wrong reasons.
But everything seemed to be in perfect order. The Italian hypercar, painted in dark blue carbon with gold accents, had just arrived in the Principality on a transporter's trailer. But when it came to lowering the car, the manoeuvre turned into a nightmare: as it was slowly backed onto the ramp, it collapsed under the weight of the car. As a result, the Pagani found itself stuck like a "beached whale", the front wheels suspended in mid-air, the front splitter resting on the metal platform.
The scene obviously didn't go unnoticed. Several passers-by witnessed the incident, some amused, others taken aback. A short clip posted on tiktok by the account dart_spot quickly made the rounds, garnering tens of thousands of views and likes in just a few hours. For the two drivers in charge of the delivery, the moment could not have been more embarrassing.
It remains to be seen what real damage the Huayra Roadster has sustained. At best, only scratches under the front splitter are to be deplored, which is still an expensive repair on a hypercar. But faced with such an exclusive model, produced in just 100 examples between 2017 and 2019, powered by an AMG V12 6.0 biturbo with 764 hp and 1,000 Nm of torque, overall value is not in jeopardy. Especially as on the second-hand market, these Paganis now regularly exceed 3.5 million euros, with some examples reaching or crossing the 4 million mark.
It's not the first time that an exceptional supercar has experienced such a delivery mishap. But seeing a Pagani in such an uncomfortable position is sure to leave a lasting impression. A viral video, an embarrassing moment, and probably a hefty bill for the owner or his insurance company... This is one delivery no one is likely to forget.
