First Pagani Huayra is sold for $2.3 million

Unveiled at this years Geneva Motor show, the exotic Pagani Huayra has been bought by an anonymous Middle Eastern buyer for $2.3 million, about twice its listed price.

The supercar was meant to be delivered to a different Middle Eastern purchaser after the motor show on March the 18th, but apparently suffered from cold feet. This was when the second buyer contacted Pagani, offering them $2.3 million, $1.17 million more than the original asking price! The Pagani Huayra is a 700-hop supercar powered by a Mercedes-BEns AMG 6.0L twin turbo V12 engine, with a maximum torque of 740lb-ft and a top speed of 23- mph.

Top Marques Monaco

The Ultimate SuperCar Show

World launches * Record-breaking supercars * Test drives * Expanded exhibition space *
Top Marques watches & jewellry * Sea trials

Top Marques Monaco is revered as the world’s most exclusive supercar show where you can experience the latest state-of-the-art machines with test drives on the Formula 1 circuit - mere weeks before the famous race takes place. Car afficionados can’t beat the sensation of manoeuvring the Racasse corner in a Koenigsegg Agera R – BBC’s Top Gear Hyper Car of the Year and a Guinness Book of World Records holder. It does a thrilling 0-300 km/h in 14.53 seconds. Nor will they be able to resist the staggering power of the Roding Rodster whose entire chassis is constructed with the highest grade carbon fiber, combined with a BMW 6 in line 320 hp Turbo engine. And best news of all, Top Marques Monaco will launch the world premiere of the stunning, handbuilt Renovatio T 500 from Tushek in Slovenia.

At Top Marques we think our way is the only way to experience a car. The old practice of car shows prohibited the public getting up close and viewing was from behind a velvet rope. At Top Marques visitors can touch and feel the pure power and precision of the supercars; the arresting fumes of petrol ready to burn and the anticipation of powerful engines revving into action in the test drive pits dominate the show.

There are no barriers at Top Marques – except at the VIP bar.
No limits on speed. Tick. Though visitors often simply stop and stare.
No pesky velvet red ropes protecting the cars. Tick.
No parameters curtailing the imagination. Tick.
Instead Top Marques is about possibilities that you won’t find anywhere else. It is about visitors getting into the car and behind the wheel. It is about meeting the creators, designers and engineers of these masterpieces. The show’s ethos says it all: See it! Drive it! Buy it!
