Have you seen what college costs these days?!? God help you if you go for a law degree or doctorate.

Everyone says it's a shame he has it and can't drive, but what's the driving age there? Just because it's 16 in most places in America doesn't mean he can't drive at 15 there.

Edit: Guess I should've googled it beforehand instead of after. Looks like you have to be 18 to get your license there. What's he going to do with it for 3 years?

The fact the car was crazy expensive doesn't bother me (if you have it spend it however you want) but the unsafe part does. I had an 83 camaro that was more or less a drag car. When I sold it I had at least 4 people I turned down simply because they were buying it for there teenage son. The same thing happened to me at 16 I saw a really cool nova with a bunch of work done to it emptied my savings account ran over to get told "go home i'm not selling it to someone that doesn't have the experience to keep it on the road."

I'm sure his parents have enough money to send him to private track events/driver training without a license.

Lucky kid, I'm jelly. Time to buy a scratch off.

defiantly this ^^^

who knows maybe the kid has been driving shifter karts since he was 6 years old and might drive a car around the track better than 99% of the people on this forum. you just never know

i remember when i first started driving. I almost got in a couple accidents and its not because i didn't know how to check my mirrors or maintain correct speed, ect. i wasn't ready to drive defensively against other drivers who weren't paying attention.

story doesn't make sense. in Taiwan, you cannot drive until you are 18.

Well I think between myself and my fiance were only going to get stuck with 27k between the 2 of us. While, Im 25 and I could probably live the rest of my life on $1.3 million. Sure, not lavishly but I could lol. Not arguing, just college wasn't an issue for me lol

The article states that the car will be delivered to the kid then transferred back to Italy until he has his license.

Minimum driving age probably depends on how much money your parents have.

Its a good thing I didnt have so much responsibility on my hands when I was 15

That's one way to keep you kid out of trouble. "If you even think about smoking pot i'll call them and have them sell it for scrap!"

Sent from my Q10

i followed up the news articles from Taiwan. the information was incorrect. The son of the wealth business man is over 20 years old and is currently study on board at foreign country. The father owns business that manufacture screws and bolts that supplied to major car manufacturers.

It's probably an excuse for the rich daddy to buy a supercar he can drive for a few years till he is bored, then dump to the kid when he gets a driving license.

A Roadster Is Coming By The End Of The Year, Too

For such a small company, Pagani has big plans for the year ahead. Though the previous Zonda bred more variants than we could shake an intricately crafted carbon-fiber stick at, we've only seen one version of the newer Huayra (in several cosmetic variations) so far. Before 2016 is done, it will introduce two new versions of the Huayra, including a hardcore variant with more power and a droptop.

The Huayra coupe is all sold out, and company spokesman Luca Venturi told Autoblog that "they're almost all delivered." That leaves the factory in Modena free to gear up for the next big thing. And as we've seen from the spy video a few months ago and the teaser image earlier this month, that will be the hardcore Huayra BC.

Venturi confirmed that Pagani will reveal the Huayra BC at the Geneva Motor Show in just a couple of months. Pagani hasn't yet revealed what will distinguish the BC from the existing Huayra, or what those letters stand for. But you can bet it will be even faster than the outgoing version, with more power from its AMG-sourced 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 and other appropriate mechanical changes.

The original plan was to showcase the new Roadster in Geneva too, but Venturi told us it will debut sometime later this year. When it does surface, the new Huayra Roadster will likely feature some (if not all) of the upgrades developed for the BC version, but with an open roof. You can bet both versions will be plenty expensive, especially when you consider that the Huayra coupe already cost a princely $1.84 million as it is.
