For those not familiar with a mid-engine layout, this basically describes the placement of a car engine between the rear and front axles, typically right behind the passenger compartment. This means that there’s more weight over the rear tires, which in turn provides more traction and assistance to the front tires, especially when braking. Some famous mid-engined Porsches include the 911 GT1, Carrera GT, and 918 Spyder. If the automaker were to make a new one, it might look something like the 988 Vision Concept.

Limited to just 40-units worldwide and priced at a whopping $3.5-million, the Pagani Huayra Roadster BC is sure to sell out quick. Why? For starters, this 2,685-pound hypercar is powered by a twin-turbocharged 6.0L AMG V12 generating 791 horsepower and 774 pound-feet of torque, mated to a seven-speed Xtrac sequential gearbox with a lightweight single clutch, which by the way, is 35-percent lighter than the traditional dual-clutch setup.
