Pagani has built plenty of rare cars, but this Huayra Roadster sits in a category of one.
Completed in September 2024, the car is the only Huayra Roadster fitted at the factory with a manual gearbox, pairing a 7-speed Xtrac transmission with Pagani’s AMG-sourced twin-turbo V12.
Named Executor, it brings an unusually analogue centrepiece to one of the modern hypercar world’s most theatrical open-top platforms.
At a glance
- The only factory manual Pagani Huayra Roadster is set for auction at RM Sotheby’s Monterey Auction in August 2026.
- Its 7-speed Xtrac manual gearbox uses an exposed metal shift gate and is paired with an 846 hp twin-turbo AMG V12.
- The one-off car has covered 53 miles and is estimated to sell for between $5 million and $7 million.
A gated manual in a modern Pagani roadster
The headline detail is the transmission, a 7-speed Xtrac manual with a classic exposed metal gate.
That setup is rare enough in contemporary performance cars, but in a Huayra Roadster it becomes the defining feature of the entire build.
The gearbox is matched to a 6.0-litre twin-turbocharged V12 supplied by AMG, producing 846 horsepower and 774 lb ft of torque.
Those figures place this roadster above even the track-only Huayra R on outright output, though the appeal here is less about lap times and more about interaction.
In a car famous for its carbon construction, active aero language and jewel-like cabin treatment, a physical shift gate changes the character in a meaningful way.
Executor brings Star Wars theatre to exposed carbon
The car carries the name Executor, a nod to Darth Vader’s Star Destroyer in the Star Wars saga.
That reference suits the exterior, which uses blue-tinted exposed carbon fibre with Indaco Blu and white accents.
Pagani’s visual language is already sculptural, but this example adds a more aggressive aerodynamic treatment than a standard roadster silhouette would suggest.
The bodywork includes a deeper front spoiler, front bumper canards, a large rear wing and a sculptural air inlet mounted above the roof.
Together, those elements give the car a more focused look without losing the dramatic, hand-finished quality that defines Pagani’s special commissions.
Monterey timing and collector appeal
The Huayra Roadster Executor is scheduled to be offered at RM Sotheby’s Monterey Auction in August 2026.
It has covered just 53 miles and has never changed ownership, making it unusually fresh for a car of this significance.
The estimate sits between $5 million and $7 million, a range that reflects both its one-off manual specification and its place within the wider Huayra story.
For collectors, the appeal is clear.
This isn’t simply a low-mileage Pagani with a distinctive colourway, but a factory-built outlier with a transmission configuration no other Huayra Roadster shares.

Modern hypercars often chase speed through automation, but the Executor makes its case through rarity, tactility and intent.
As the only factory manual Huayra Roadster, it represents a very specific kind of collector car, one where the mechanical experience matters as much as the number on the estimate sheet.
