You Can Lease a Pagani Huayra Roadster for About $25,339 per Month

The Pagani Huayra Roadster is a hand built Italian hypercar with a price in the multi million dollar range and a production run of about 100 cars worldwide. In 2018, Putnam Leasing introduced a structure that allowed qualified clients to lease one on a 60 month term with an initial payment around $700,000 and monthly payments of about $25,339.

The idea that a car like this could be leased at all, at that figure, drew coverage from Digital Trends, Robb Report, CNET, Car and Driver, and GTspirit. This article brings those threads together in one place and looks briefly at what sits behind the headline.

A Limited Run Hypercar

The Huayra Roadster combines extensive carbon construction with a Mercedes AMG twin turbo 6.0 liter V12 that produces roughly the mid 700 horsepower range and more than 730 pound feet of torque. Despite its removable roof, the Roadster is lighter than the coupe and has a reported top speed above 200 miles per hour.

Pagani limited Roadster production to about 100 cars, which places each example closer to a collectible object than a typical new vehicle. That context helps explain why finance structures for this car attract attention; they sit at the intersection of rare machinery, capital, and long term collecting.

How the $25,339 Per Month Structure Works

Coverage focused on a representative structure. Putnam offers a 60 month lease with a reported starting payment around $700,000 and monthly payments of approximately $25,339. Over five years, that yields about $1,520,340 in monthly payments plus the initial amount, for a total near $2,220,340.

Digital Trends highlighted that the Huayra Roadster, with a starting price around $2.4 million, could be leased in this way and described it as the most expensive new car lease in history. Robb Report took a closer look at the same structure from a collector’s perspective, noting that a bespoke lease can be part of how serious buyers access a car that is already rare and fully committed.

CNET walked through the numbers and pointed out that lessees could pay sales tax over time on the monthly payments instead of in a single lump sum, which reduces the upfront cash needed to reach this level. Car and Driver emphasized that leasing a Pagani can be nearly as expensive as buying one outright, but also showed how timing and structure can still make a lease attractive for certain clients.

GTspirit, citing CNET’s reporting, noted that all 100 Huayra Roadsters were effectively spoken for and that this structure provided a way into a car that was already sold out. Together, these pieces gave readers a range of angles on the same set of numbers, from headline shock value to practical details about how the structure functions in the real world.

Why Collectors Look at This

For most readers, the headline number is a curiosity. For a small group of collectors and business owners, it is another way to think about how to use capital, time, and access. Forbes pointed out that Putnam’s approach extends beyond Pagani to other cars in this price range and that leasing can be one of several tools in a wider plan for high value vehicles.

A lease like this can allow a client to enjoy a Huayra Roadster while keeping more cash available for companies, investments, or other projects. In some jurisdictions, sales tax treatment and potential business use cases can make a lease attractive compared with a simple purchase, subject to local rules and individual advice. Structures can also be written so that if the car increases in value during the term, the lessee, not the lessor, benefits from that appreciation.

Beyond the Headline

The idea of paying about $25,339 per month, with $700,000 down, to lease a Pagani Huayra Roadster made for a memorable story and a set of striking headlines. Behind those numbers is a more measured explanation about rare cars, finance structure, and how some collectors prefer to balance what they drive with where they deploy their capital.
