News - Switzerland police seize unique racing supercar worth $7.4M

During an incident on a Swiss mountain road, police officers seized a Pagani Huayra Codalunga, valued at an eye-watering $7.4 million reports Backfire News. The Huayra Codalunga, known for its “Long tail” design reminiscent of 1960s Le Mans racers, was stopped alongside a Ferrari Testarossa, hinting at a high-profile excursion potentially aimed at a skiing destination. During the stop, something about the Pagani's paperwork raised the officers' suspicions, leading to the car's seizure. The scene, captured by automotive photographer Freddie Atkins, quickly gained attention on social media. Despite police instructions against photography, Atkins' video, showcasing the rare vehicle being driven away escorted by a silver Toyota Corolla from the police fleet, skirted the rules with a technicality. The Pagani Huayra Codalunga stands out for its exclusivity and homage to historic racing legends like the Porsche 917. With only five units produced, each priced from $7.36 million before taxes, the model's rarity is undisputed. Powered by an AMG-sourced 6.0-liter V12 engine, the Codalunga boasts 840 horsepower, enabling a blistering 0 to 60 mph acceleration in just 2.8 seconds and a top speed of 370.1.
