YouTuber smashes his dad\u2019s $3.5m Pagani hypercar in dramatic crash YouTube: Blake Covington \/ GGExoticsDriving your parent\u2019s car is always a risky business, but when that car is worth over 3 million dollars, it\u2019s even more of a risk. Unfortunately for YouTuber GGExotics, that risk ended badly, after he totaled his dad\u2019s Pagani Huyara Roadster. GGExotics has fast become well-known on YouTube thanks to his impressive car content. With his dad being a billionaire, Gage has access to a variety of iconic hypercars, including a Ferrari LaFerrari and Bugatti Chiron. While the previously-mentioned hypercars are certainly impressive, the rarest car in the fleet was a purple Pagani Huyara Roadster. Costing around $3.5 million, it was also one of the most expensive cars that he owned. GGExotics crashes Pagani Huyara Roadster Unfortunately, despite having driven the Huyara a number of times, including during a \u2018life swap\u2019 with YouTube star Tanner Fox, disaster struck the Pagani. First reported by YouTuber Life Of Palos, Gage has reportedly crashed his father\u2019s multi-million dollar Pagani. Thankfully, everyone seems to be OK and no other vehicles appear to be involved, but the Huyara is in a bad way. The footage shared by Life Of Palos shows the entire front end completely smashed up, with both front wheels significantly off the ground. Given that the body of the Huayra is made from Carbon Fiber, it\u2019s not likely that it will be a repairable crash. While the main thing is that everyone involved is OK, it has led to a number of people questioning whether a 17-year-old should be driving the $3.5m hypercar. It is well-documented that he has prior experience driving cars such as this (thanks to the number of videos on his YouTube channel) but he has also shown himself driving at high speeds on public roads. Not only that, but we imagine the insurance on such a vehicle would be sky-high. Given that the car is his fathers\u2019, we can only hope that he was also insured on the car in the correct manner. Whatever happens, it\u2019ll be interesting to see if the car is repaired, or simply sent to the great hypercar scrapyard in the sky. No doubt we\u2019ll be hearing more about the situation from those involved soon enough. Gage from GGExotics speaks out Since we initially published this article, the driver Gage has now released a full statement about the accident. Speaking in a video on his friend RideWithRy\u2018s channel, Gage basically confirms that the car did in fact hit a tree after he lost control, causing the wreck. \u201cThank god we were wearing seatbelts\u201d said Gage \u201cas the roof came off [and] the doors flew off.\u201d Thankfully beyond what appears to be a busted arm\/shoulder (judging by his sling in the video), no-one was hurt. He also took the opportunity to shut down claims that the accident occurred because he was \u201ctoo young\u201d to be driving the car, saying that it \u201cwasn\u2019t the case.\u201d Looking to the future, Ry said \u201cwe will continue to make videos, but we might take a break since this was a big incident.\u201d Regardless of whether the car can be saved in any way, the main thing is no-one was injured in the wreck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
