Code Name: Benny

The World's Newest Supercar Is Named After A Dude Named Benny

The Pagani Huayra BC is everything that a gearhead could dream of: it’s a lighter, more powerful version of the already light and powerful Pagani Huayra. Also, it’s named after a dude named Benny.

The ‘BC’ doesn’t stand for ‘Because Carbon’ or ‘Boisterously Cromulent’ or even ‘Big Car.’

It stands for ‘Benny Caiola,’ a “larger than life” rich Italian car collector and New York City real estate magnate friend of Pagani’s founder, Horacio Pagani. Caiola was Pagani’s first customer and he died in 2010, so Horacio named his newest limited-edition run of supercars after him.

It’s a sweet tribute, and still a funny name for one of the fastest and most desirable cars in the world.

It's Hard To Get California Wrong

Every State, Ranked by How Miserable Its Winters Are

37. Nevada
  • Other than in the northern reaches of the state, Nevada’s generally pretty well protected from the worst aspects of winter. However, it is NOT protected from packs of bros descending on it for Super Bowl weekend (Chad only gets married once, right guys?!), then getting unruly with the staff at the Hard Rock because they expected the pool to be open even though it’s actually only like 49 degrees out. Then Brett (Chad’s best man) ends up drinking 12 vodka tonics too many and picks a fight with some guy who seemed small but turned out to be a flyweight UFC fighter and shit just got ugly.
48. California
  • There is no generalizing about the climate of a state the size of Italy, except to say that SF’s weather rarely changes except during the weird time during the summer when it becomes winter and everyone misquotes Mark Twain; everyone in LA and San Diego just wear bikinis and surf to work year-round (except during Sharknado season) and they don’t have meteorologists in Fresno, so no one knows what happens there during any season, much less ONE of them, but it seems like it can't be that bad.
