(car revving)
- Oh (bleep). (laughs)
That came out a little bit right there.
Okay, just a reminder.
Don't (bleep) around.
(intense music)
Welcome to The New Car Show.
Today, we have a very, very exciting story for you guys
because a couple weeks ago,
I drove one of the most raddest cars
in the entire world, the Pagani Huayra BC.
Now you may have heard of Paganis,
and you might know that they're super expensive,
super exclusive, hyper, hyper, hypercar.
They only make like 35 of these things a year.
The Huayra BC is the bad boy Huayra.
It's lighter, it's got more power,
so therefore, it's way faster.
This car is 3.7 million dollars.
Why and how can any car be worth 3.7 million dollars?
You could buy 12 Aventadors for how much this car costs.
This car was so expensive that all day Sunday,
my boss Matt and Katie
were on the phone with our insurance company
because we don't have enough production insurance
to cover me wrecking a Pagani.
So Katie and Matt are both awesome
and they sacrificed their entire Sunday
to try and find enough insurance to get me insured
to drive this awesome car.
So thanks to them, they're both awesome.
Eventually, Tyler, who works at Pagani Newport Beach,
called Christian Pagani, Horacio Pagani's son,
and was like, hey, there's this dude from YouTube
that wants to drive one of our cars.
What can we do?
And Christian Pagani was a really cool dude
and he was like, yo, as long as you're in the car with him,
our insurance will pay for it.
So that's why in this video
you'll see that I'm hanging out with my buddy Tyler.
So a couple weeks ago,
Katie who is one of our business development people,
there's Katie,
she was like hey, Pumphrey,
have you ever heard of a company called Pagani?
And I was like, uh, yeah.
She was like, do you want to drive one?
And I was like, uh yeah.
So that's what I'm doing today.
Today, I'm driving this.
A Pagani Huayra BC.
It's a 3.7 million dollar car.
I couldn't sleep last night because I was so nervous
and hopefully, I don't wreck this car
that costs as much as Drake's house.
It's a really, really small dealership.
And I was like, oh, that's surprising.
But then I realized like, yo, yeah, of course.
They make 35 cars a year.
It's not like they have a lot of stock on hand.
These cars sell out two years in advance.
There's a two-year waiting list for a Huayra.
In the corner of the show room,
there's a bunch of leather options and stitching options,
very similar to Lamborghini.
You can choose leather colors, stitching colors,
different carbon fiber finishes like a purple, a blue,
red, seatbelt colors, very, very customizable.
You can definitely see that Horacio was very inspired
during his time at Lamborghini,
and he brought a lot of that Lamborghini-ness
to Pagani with him.
So I was impressed by that,
and then Tyler told me that
that corner has never been used.
Nobody has ever customized one
because the moment they get announced, they sell out.
So people are just like, oh, I can get one,
yeah, I'm gonna get one.
So I just thought it was really funny
that they have this whole corner that they don't use.
So yeah, Tyler has to ride with me for insurance reasons,
and he was like, yo, I'm gonna drive it out of the lot,
we'll go down the road, we'll switch.
Then you can drive it.
I'm like, cool, I'm just stoked to sit in this thing.
This is Justin.
Justin's my new best friend because
today Justin's gonna let me drive this car.
- Or is it Tyler?
- Oh (bleep), sorry.
This is my buddy, Tyler.
Tyler is my new best friend
because today Tyler's gonna let me drive this Pagani Huayra.
He works at Newport Beach Pagani,
which is the smallest dealership I've ever seen in my life.
That's how exclusive these things are.
So if you want to buy yourself
an almost four million dollar car,
this is the guy to contact.
- Cool, you ready?
- Yeah man.
The interior is absurd.
It's like super art deco, retro, futurist.
Everything is billet and polished
and there's lights everywhere.
And it's just different than any other car,
like literally a piece of art.
It is a beautiful sculpture
that I would love to have in my house,
but I could never ever afford.
- Alright ready?
- Yeah.
Oh (bleep), the sound is insane, dude.
What even is that?
The intake noise blows like.
I've never heard a car that sounds like that.
- It's like a jet engine behind your head.
- You hear the turbos so much.
So a little info on the Huayra BC.
It is the big boy one.
It's named after a dude named Benny Caiola,
who was the first dude to ever buy a Pagani.
He bought the first Pagani in 1999 when it came out.
This one debuted in 2016 at the Geneva Motor Show.
The car that we are driving today was a 2016.
This car has a six-liter twin turbo V12.
It's got 745 horsepower, over 800 pound-feet of torque.
It only weighs 2700 pounds.
It's very fast, it's very cool, it's very expensive.
Oh my god, this is the best day of my life.
So they went from the NAV-12 and they added two turbos.
And then I guess customers were complaining
that it didn't sound the same,
it wasn't as loud and raw,
so they really focused on making the sound dramatic, right?
- Yeah, the turbos do quiet it down a lot,
and the difference in sound
between the Zondas and the Huayras
are drastically different,
but where you get more of that quick instant power,
all that boost, it helps a lot but it is a lot quieter,
so that is kind of a complaint that people have talked about
and they have designed the exhaust
with a guy that specifically knows the notes inside
and how to zigzag the resonator inside the exhaust
to allow it to sound a specific way.
- I like the turbo noise.
I think that's like a generational thing.
People our age love the sound of a blow-off valve
and a turbo, whereas older dudes are like,
no, just give me the hrr.
- Never get tired of that.
- So we lose Jesse, we lose Gabe, and we lose Katie,
who are all following behind us.
We pull off to wait for them.
It's sort of like a bad decision
because we pull into a beach parking lot
and it's super crowded and you can tell,
Tyler's just sweating because he's driving
someone's inheritance.
And that's when I noticed the biggest thing
about this car.
Everybody loves it.
We were famous.
I felt like Justin Bieber.
So we park across four parking spaces,
you know, like you do when you're in a hypercar,
and because we didn't want anyone to hit us,
and two, the parking lot was packed.
So two biker cops come up to us.
- [Cop] Nowhere to go fast around here, huh?
- No.
- Waiting for our buddy.
He'll be here in just a second.
Is it okay, real quick?
Okay, thank you.
Oh, they're here.
- [Man] Can I take a picture?
- Yeah sure.
- Yeah, they're right here actually.
- [Cop] They're in that?
Wait a minute.
- I know.
They got the short end of the stick.
Thank you, guys, you too.
- Dude, we parked for a second,
and there's just a huge crowd, cops.
- Even the cops are like, yeah, that's fine.
I'm like completely illegally parked.
- Yeah, we were parked illegally across five spots.
The attention, it really is mind-blowing.
It blows my mind.
I was not expecting it.
I was expecting to turn some heads,
but the number of people who have filmed
or taken a picture is like insane.
It's time for me to drive.
My stomach is in knots.
I don't want to put Donut out of business
by wrecking this car.
I'm having second thoughts.
I'm sweating just thinking about it.
Is this worth the risk?
Best case scenario, some people watch the video.
Is this worth risking Donut
and generations of my family's well-being
just so I can drive this?
Yes, it was.
This thing is amazing.
I get behind the driver's wheel.
Alright.
No big deal.
Whoa, the pedal placement is weird.
I couldn't find the brake pedal.
I'm like,
so stressed.
- [Woman] Nice car.
- Thank you.
- I know.
- People really like this car.
Dude, it's so good.
It sounds so good.
This is the best-sounding car I've ever heard.
The power comes on really quick too,
like there's no lag.
In the McLarens, I was really surprised
the amount of turbo lag that you have.
- Oh really?
- Yeah, you slam your foot down
and then you kinda wait,
which is not what you'd want in a gajillion dollar car.
This is like, whew, it's just immediate.
And I feel awesome.
I just feel like so cool.
Sick, dude.
How often does this thing have to be serviced?
- Not too often.
Your scheduled oil changes and things like that.
Most owners, they use these as like a weekend car,
they drive it once in a while,
so it doesn't really get that daily driven use
that your standard car would.
But we have trained technicians and everything
that specifically work on this engine
because this is a special engine for Pagani.
Its roots are AMG.
- It's crazy, like everyone knows
that this is something special.
- It just has that presence, huh?
- Yeah, it's crazy, man.
Like literally, everyone is looking at you.
I love it.
- It's like being a celebrity but not a celebrity.
- Totally, yeah.
Getting attention is one of my favorite things.
That's why I do what I do.
This is insane.
I love this car.
This is the best thing ever.
So we just pulled off to get some sick steezy footie.
(pop music)
The amount of attention that this thing gets
is mind-blowing.
I feel like I'm a legit celebrity.
There's like a family over there,
these guys over here.
They don't do that for a Lamborghini.
The fact that we opened it all up
might have something to do with it,
but look at this thing.
It looks like a (bleep) LMP1 car.
I think Pagani might be my favorite kind of car.
I mean the reason I do what I do
is because I really like attention,
and this car gets it like I have never seen.
And I love that I am kind of a (bleep) looking dude,
I'm kinda a dirtbag looking guy,
and so, when I'm behind the wheel of this thing,
people are like, who the (bleep) are you?
I'm like, yo, I own Facebook.
The crowd is insane, bro.
Like look at all these people.
It's just standing around a parked car.
I've never experienced that.
Like moms, grandmoms, dads, like everyone
knows that this is a special thing.
They know it's expensive.
It looks fast.
And a lot of people don't know what it is.
Exclusive.
You want to go fast, drive a Lamborghini.
You want to be famous like that, get a Pagani.
And also, they go fast too.
So way back to the dealership,
I made sure that we took the PCH,
we got some open road in front of us,
and because I had to feel what it feels like
to get on this thing, and let me tell you, boy,
it feels sick.
Holy (bleep).
Holy (bleep), dude.
- [Tyler] That's an infraction.
- It's so fast.
Oh my god, dude.
Damn, this thing is awesome.
- [Tyler] It kinda has this single clutch tier
every time you shift in high boost, it throws you back.
- Yeah, it's crazy.
It doesn't rev super fast.
- [Tyler] Yeah, the scary thing is
you can keep going and normally,
your body is like, okay, it should be at that point where
I'm maxed out, I can't shift anymore.
And it's like, no, there's more and more and more.
- The gears, that's the scariest part,
is the gears are so long.
I'm shifting at 3500 RPM.
Holy (bleep).
When it shifts, you're like, boom.
It's so sick.
Single clutch all day dude, all day.
It's a weird mix of like analog and digital.
You look around, and everything around you is like,
super high tech feeling.
It feels like you're in a fighter jet,
but the brakes are really hard, the pedals are really hard,
the gas pedal is not super sensitive.
It feels like a car.
You feel the road, and you feel when it shifts, it shifts.
It feels like a machine.
Scariest moment of the entire drive,
I was shifting into third,
and the rear end began to step out.
I corrected it.
We didn't go into the wall or anything.
Everything's good, but whoa, my lord, that was a close one.
(bleep)
That came out a little bit right there.
Just a reminder, don't (bleep) around.
Four million dollars.
This is worth 3.7 million dollars.
It's like the same price as a jet.
I love Paganis.
They are so, so sweet.
This is the most absurd thing I've ever experienced.
The noises, it even smells expensive.
And the crowd
blows my mind.
This is the best day of my life.
How and why is a Pagani Huayra almost four million dollars?
Well, they take their time making them.
They don't rush a single thing.
They're super exclusive.
Every bolt is titanium and every bolt says Pagani on it.
It's a $100,000 worth of hardware alone in the car.
People love it.
I think that seeing that car made some people's Sunday.
It made me feel great.
I love attention, and I got a ton of it
and I was so proud when I got in it,
when I was the guy who got in it and drove it away.
It was really just an amazing experience.
So is the Pagani Huayra worth 3.7 million dollars?
Yeah, but in the same way that
a jet is worth millions of dollars.
It's just a different thing.
When I got out, it didn't feel like
I had been in a car all day.
It felt like I went to a museum.
It really felt like
I had gone to the Met or MoMA or something.
So it's hard to wrap your brain around
a car that's worth that much money.
It's a lot easier to justify buying a piece of art,
and that is exactly what this car is.
The Pagani Huayra BC is 100% worth millions of dollars.
