I always make sure to spend at least a day outside the pagani factory, every summer when I go home. You can almost always get a good story ab the cars from a mechanic or employee on lunch break...

My favorite was the Japanese girl with a pink zonda who kept shipping her car back to get new pink accents in different animal hides in the interior.. makes you realize how different peoples lives and priorities are.

If you get a chance, go visit pagani before they become Inaccessible like Ferrari.. If you're lucky you'll see horacio just walking by minding his own business... Maybe like Ferrari in via abetone in the 60's

Saw a white one with license plates in Arabic parked in front of the Beverly Wilshire last summer. Had LAX air freight documents on the dashboard dated the day prior. Much better looking than the Zonda, IMO.

Oh, and in front of it was a white G65 AMG. Yes, a twin turbo V12 agricultural vehicle. Also with plates in Arabic.

WOW. Nice pics. I don't think I've ever seen the Pagani with son much details. It's automobile art by excellence. Amazing

Every manufacturer could learn a thing or two from Pagani when it comes to artistry and the details.
With today's technology, hand made cars are not necessarily an indication of quality.

that's not the point, just as a bespoke 6 or 7 figure hand -made artisinal WIS wrist watch that takes a year to build ONE cannot match the interchangeable consistency of the machines that stamp out the parts that nearly a MILLION new Rolex watches depend on yearly

reminds me of this type of watch...where for example, the dial alone is made of 34 separate pieces, but to do that for a car in this day and age of complex regulations is mind blowing

Agreed on that point--artistry needs to be appreciated for what it is in it's design and detail.

My view is that--like fine timepieces, etc.--sometimes artistry has it's cost, not only the price you pay, but also durability, wear over time, etc.

But no matter how you cut it...the Pagani is just jaw dropping.

The Pinnacle of design, engineering and execution. There is not another car that matches it's league of quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. Truly remarkable, I could spend hours just absorbing all the details. That's the kind of car that you could own for years and STILL find new details that amaze you.

What a car! Love the car and love the color.

We (GT3 owners in the US) should pool our compensation money from Porsche and buy one of these. Each gets to keep the car for a weekend (Exactly like a time share).

The headline will read "Still Pissed Off US GT3 owners belonging to GT3 worldwide action group buy a Pagani Huayra with their Porsche compensation money"

Thanks for sharing the photos Eduardo. Mark
