Think the F-35 is expensive? Just like the fighter, this $3.6 million hypercar also uses titanium screws to save weight and each bolt set costs a whopping $80 while those on the jet cost a mere $5. - Luxurylaunches

If you have ever found yourself questioning the multi-million-dollar price tags of limited-edition hypercars, you must watch this YouTube video (in Spanish) by Gerard Farré from Vlogs de Coches. In the video, the Spanish journalist talks about the bolts used on the Pagani Utopia Roadster. Not only are they made of grade 7 titanium, but each bolt features the brand’s logo and is engraved with the chassis number of the car in which it is mounted.

But there’s a good reason why Pagani chooses to use super-expensive titanium bolts instead of traditional ones. Titanium is much lighter than stainless steel, which helps the automaker to make its hypercars as light as possible. Additionally, the titanium bolts are much stronger, which is needed to withstand the 863hp delivered by its 6.0-liter twin-turbo V12 engine.

The Pagani Utopia Roadster is the latest open-top hypercar from Pagani Automobili, representing the pinnacle of Pagani’s craftsmanship, attention to detail, and high-performance engineering. Revealed earlier this year in July, it’s the roadster version of the Pagani Utopia. Despite the additional weight of the folding roof mechanism, the Utopia Roadster tips the scale at 2,822 pounds without fluids, which is exactly the same as the coupe counterpart.
