The Pagani Huayra is Horacio Pagani's latest supercar creation and, based on appearance alone, it looks like nothing more than a fancy concept. But it's very real. So real you could touch it, sit in it, and drive it -- for about $1.2 million. The follow-up to thePagani Zonda carries one of the heaviest price tags after Bugatti, but just in case you ever have a heaping amount of money to burn, here's what roughly $1.2 million will get you.

While the Huayra is no race car, it's made like one. The suspension uses double wishbones made from a high-strength aluminum alloy called Avional, with pushrod-actuated Ohlins shocks. Thanks in part to carbon bodywork, the car weighs about 200 pounds less than the Ferrari 458 Italia and 1300 pounds less than the Bugatti Veyron.  The bodywork also features active aerodynamics, including the suspension that automatically lowers the nose to increase downforce at speed.

Now it's time for the numbers. The Huayra has an AMG-sourced 6.0-liter twin-turbo V-12 that makes 720 hp, and 737 lb-ft of torque. The mid-mounted engine drives the rear wheels through a seven-speed, single-clutch automated manual transmission built by Xtrac, makers of transmissions that drive F1 cars and Le Mans prototypes. Just 95 Huayras will be made for worldwide consumption.

In our First Drive article, we called the Pagani Huayra "a rolling work of art." Do you think the 2013 Pagani Huayra is worth $1.2 million dollars? Let us know in the comments below for Today's Thread of the Day.
