First ever yellow Pagani Huayra detailed. The owner? a 15 year old boy from Taiwan! [

Jesus.... seriously wtf?! this car worth $70,000,000 in NTD... converts to USD is about $2.4 million... Below is the story and video.


March 4, 2014 - This very first yellow Pagani Huayra is ready on the show floor to shine in the eyes of visitors at the Geneva Motor Show.

Our friend Soluz from PrototypeZero.net first spotted the yellow Huayra at Pagani's factory during a visit last month. Now he met with the Huayra's owner.

When we have read the report written by Soluz on PrototypeZero.net, we had to read it more than once as we believed in some sort of typing mistake. Then we realized that what we had just read and re-read was correct: the Huayra's owner is a 15 year old boy from Taiwan who received it as early present for his 17th birthday!

As PrototypeZero.net informs, the car will stay in Italy until his owner will be of legal age to get his driving licence.

Looks fantastic in yellow! Must be a tax issue or something because they go for about $1.5-1.6M USD.

Money and everything aside, who in their right mind buys a car with that much gusto and gives it to a kid as a first car?

Money, yes. Common sense, no.

Pretty awesome looking, but given the money I'd rather have 10-20 70k-100k cars than one mega $$ car.

If you had the money, you wouldn't have to chose between "10-20 70k-100k cars" and one "mega $$ car."

Keep the car in Italy until the kid turns 17 in 2 years? Why not just wait and buy the newest version when the time comes?

My crystal ball tells me it's going to be found upside down in a ditch within a week of the kid driving it

Guess I'm saying is that even if I had the $$ to drop 2.4 mil on a car, I never would. But I WOULD see myself dropping it on 10-20 cars. I'd be paranoid as hell driving that thing around.

What worries me is why kids are getting their 17th birthday present 2 years earlier now.

What parent in their right mind buys their kid a Pagani as their first car? Logic, not even once.

Makes sense when you have to work for your money.

When you are born into millions, you wouldn't even look at "budget" 100k cars.

What you and I think as being a lot of money would probably seem like very little to the true rich.
