Pagani Huayra
-
While the world probably isn't quite done lusting after the hardtop Pagani Huayra supercar, there is reportedly a roadster version in the works that will undoubtedly add even more drama to this superlative automobile. While previous reports suggested the Huayra roadster would arrive sometime in 2014, a Pagani spokesman told Autoblog that the roofless car could show up anytime within the next two years. Like the Zonda before it, the Huayra roadster should be identical to its coupe sibling, with all of the same mechanical bits. That means a 6.0-liter, twin-turbocharged Mercedes-Benz AMG V-12...

A couple of weeks ago Pagani released a mysterious teaser video filled with clues about the supercar manufacturer’s latest project. This quickly got the rumor mill churning, with some suggesting Pagani was about to debut a convertible version of its latest Huayra supercar.

The images, snagged by a reader at GT Spirit, show what is clearly a Huayra, said to have been captured on the streets of Denver, Colorado. We're not sure about the Huayra's AMG-owned status or its role as a test mule, but it makes as much sense as anything else...short of a mega-wealthy buyer finding some loopholes to get the car here early or Pagani itself...
