- The 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 is coupled to a seven-speed Xtrac manual gearbox.
- Call of Duty co-creator Vince Zampella commissioned this distinctive Huayra.
- Zampella was killed in a crash late last year, and now the Pagani is heading to auction.
The first Pagani Huayra Roadster fitted with a factory manual transmission is heading to auction next month, and it could bring north of $7 million. It’s called ‘Executor,’ and it ranks among the most heavily optioned Huayras ever sold in the United States.
Global production of the Huayra Roadster was capped at just 148 units, consisting of 100 standard models, 40 Roadster BCs, and eight Imola Roadsters. This example gets its name from one of Darth Vader’s spaceships and was commissioned by Vince Zampella.

Those gamers amongst us may recognize that name. Zampella, a noted video game developer who helped create Call of Duty, died last December after crashing a Ferrari 296 GTS at high speed on Angeles Crest Highway in California. In speccing out his dream Huayra, he opted for several distinctive touches, and the car is now looking for a new owner.

Adorning the exterior is blue-tinted carbon fiber complemented with Indaco Blue and white-painted accents. It also rocks much more dramatic wings, splitters, and spoilers than a regular Huayra Roadster, including a custom front bumper, a fixed rear wing, a shark fin stretching over the engine, and a roof scoop.
The custom touches continue in the cabin with Black Mamba and Indaco Blue leather sitting alongside exposed titanium and carbon fiber parts. A look at the odometer reveals it has been driven just 53 miles (85 km).

As for power, Zampella’s Huayra Roadster Executor runs a 6.0-liter twin-turbocharged V12 rated at 846 hp and 774 lb-ft (1,049 Nm) of torque, mated to a seven-speed Xtrac manual transmission.
A look at the window sticker reveals the supercar had an original price tag of €6.67 million , or $7.6 million at current exchange rates. RM Sotheby’s, which is handling the sale, expects it to change hands for somewhere between $5 million and $7 million.
