This Pagani Huayra is named after Darth Vader's ship: its owner has never driven it and could sell it for $7 million

You have to be a particularly fortunate collector to be able to afford a Pagani Huayra Roadster. But there is one model that takes the concept of exclusivity even further. Named Executor, after Darth Vader’s gigantic Super Star Destroyer in Star Wars, this one-of-a-kind creation is now up for auction with an estimate of between $5 million and $7 million. Beyond its evocative name, this Huayra Roadster is quite simply a one-of-a-kind piece in the history of Pagani.

A manual transmission—an absolute rarity

While the Huayra is typically equipped with a sequential automated transmission, the Executor is an exception. It is, in fact, the only Huayra Roadster in the world to have rolled off the assembly line with a seven-speed Xtrac manual transmission, paired with an aluminum shift gate—a feature that has become a true icon among sports car enthusiasts.

This configuration is already extremely rare on the coupe versions, where it is estimated that only 14 examples feature it. On the Roadster, there is only one. This very special order was fulfilled for its first and only owner through the California-based dealership O’Gara Coach. Although production of the Huayra Roadster officially ended in 2022, this car was not completed until September 2024, in a fully customized configuration.

More powerful than a Huayra R, almost never used

Beneath its exposed blue-tinted carbon-fiber bodywork lies the 6.0LL AMG twin-turbo V12 engine. But here again, Pagani didn’t settle for the usual specifications. The engine produces 846 ch and 1,049 Nm of torque, compared to 754 ch in a standard Huayra Roadster. This power output even exceeds that of some of the most extreme versions in the Huayra lineup, while still being street-legal.

In addition to this engineering, the car features several exclusive aerodynamic elements, such as a deeper front spoiler, a massive rear wing, and a sculptural air intake mounted above the cockpit. The forged wheels with a satin finish round out this particularly spectacular design.

The interior combines Black Mamba and Indaco Blu leather, while the numerous titanium and carbon-fiber accents reflect Pagani’s artisanal craftsmanship. At the center of the console sits, of course, the centerpiece: the exposed gearshift lever, whose metal mechanism is fully visible beneath its aluminum grille.

Almost unbelievable for such an exceptional car, its odometer reads just 53 miles—about 85 kilometers. Since it was delivered, it has spent most of its life as part of the prestigious Driver’s Philosophy Collection in California.

A Star in the Making at the Monterey Auctions

RM Sotheby’s will present this Pagani Huayra Roadster Executor at its auction in Monterey, California, this August. Given its uniqueness, manual transmission, and fully custom configuration, the auction house estimates that it could fetch between $5 million and $7 million.
