The thing I like Harry the most is he doesn't hide the moments that he made mistakes, some TH-camrs hate being wrong and just cut those parts out. Harry just genuinely showed us he was wrong the whole time and how sad he was, that's really nice and cool.
There are few places on the internet where intimate, jaw-dropping, and incredibly educational automotive content is being posted fresh. Thank you for being one of those places Harry.
I know. The fact is, Harry although secretly a Farmer, is automotive royalty after he he took Evo to the top. Pagani and the rest know this, so they do crazy things like chatting to him in their carpark. So you get some mad content like this.
@@atom999 social media means nothing...its the person and money that is more important....look at how many social media twits are garbage...Harry seems like a genuine good person and character
Imagine that feeling standing by the iconic car that you actually made with your own hands .. so many amazing stories from Italian auto industry, I love it
Harry pulling out all the heavy hitting contacts in his Rolodex on this trip... and I'm here for it. Because what's the point of VIP access, if you don't intend to use it? Praise be to Harry for taking us along for the ride.
@@dudley7540 Sometimes, when you have sought after contact information from people who almost never give those details to anyone, ever, they're not cool with having that information kept on any form of electronic device; period. I speak from experience, so this is some wisdom for anyone who might come across important people. It was taught to me too. So I work in the world of (for want of a better term) elite performing arts and (it embarrasses me to say) I own the production company... Or the majority of it anyway. Through that endeavour, I've come into contact with a bunch of people who you would almost definitely know and over time have become friendly enough for the conversation along the lines of, "here's my personal contact details, hit me up for whatever you need; no need to go through my agent." That's (almost) always on the understanding that you keep those details in a place only YOU have access to, as far as that can be guaranteed. The best way I know how to do that, is to write it down at the time in a cryptic format, and then transfer that into an old school address book. That address book is then kept in a very, very secure location. Put it this way: I have a safe in my office, with some very, very valuable treasures kept inside. That safe isn't secure enough for my secret squirrel address book, as other people know where it is and safes are only so secure. There is one person that could potentially get their hands on it, but if she did, it means I'm dead. In those circumstances, I'm absolutely confident she would do as I've asked and have it destroyed. Well, there is one other person, in the event me and that person are in the same place and are both dead... That other person is my daughter, and despite being 16, she is the most reliable person I've ever met. So I'm sure my instructions will be followed in those circumstances too. I don't go dialling those numbers, unless it's a very good use of their time and would be called a "personal favour." I always make sure that any correspondence which should be handled on behalf of the company, is initiated by company staff, and always directed to them through their staff. There should be no reason for anyone but me to have direct contact with those people and no reason for anyone but that person and I to be aware of the discussion at all. Other channels exist for when others need to know. It's probably overly cautious, and many of those folks don't actually care. But I keep a very low profile for a whole bunch of reasons and even if they don't care; it's not my place to even mention that we have that kind of personal rapport. So the details remain kept far from others and any correspondence kept absolutely anonymous to anyone else. In a business like that, it really helps to foster a reputation as someone who's in it for the art and keeping your top tier contacts quiet is the most effective way I've been able to do so. Food for thought, I think.
Well Harry is THE NAME in the automotive journalism. Really makes you appreciate how seriously Harry is taken in the industry, when Clarkson has to copy Harrys "ideas/shtick" and has to wrap it in multiple layers of euphemism and being edgy, take make anyone even notice his opinion.
When I listen to him speak [ understanding 10% of the Italian ] I remember why I miss hearing their *artists* speak. My 'Brummie' missus said it was the _"best sounding car ever!"_. As a geek I looked up exhaust profiles and crank angels and realised he was not just a car maker. He topped Enzo with every thought ;-)
Harry is clearly one of the most influential automotive TH-camrs. It takes great skill to drive a car whilst talking to camera, especially with that kind of power. His honesty about what he likes and dislikes is not clouded by commercial pressure. I’m not surprised Horatio agreed to an audience with him.
@@johnsmith1474Under what commercial pressure? He’s always been clear about his likes and dislikes. He tells it like it is. You’re also downplaying how articulate he’s able to be while driving. If it’s as simple as “talking and driving” why aren’t you reviewing cars too?
No, but there is a CarPlay screen right in the middle of dash, which, assuming it's still a touch interface, means you then have to reach through the steering wheel to use it!! Just as well it's got those 6 airbags... 😆
He mentioned while showing his hands what he made with his own hands that was really beautiful * precious moment like he was try to justify itself.. ohh what a man..
Harry, did you just see Doug DeMuro's latest video about his favourite TH-cam creators? He's done a lovely segment about how amazing your content is! I can't agree with him more - you're great at what you do!
Yeah, I was watching Doug's video all the time thinking to myself _please mention Harry, please mention Harry_ .... and he was right there at the end as his favourite.
Wow, Harry, what a week!!! Lamborghini, Bugatti, Pagani . . . thank you for sharing this amazing tour! I already love your road trip videos; adding factory and museum tours just takes it over the top. 🎉
This was the best ever on TH-cam for real.. Most of the folks connected to a lot of the Iconic Sports Cars, especially Lamborghini, or Ferrari are not around too explain the process of the development of these historic cars. Bless Horacio Pagani and Harry Metcalf. Just badass!! Love it!!
As ever, I'm amazed at Mrs. M's patience and willingness to film Harry as he explores the world of automobilia like a wide-eyed child. What a privilege to have a partner like that! Well done, Patricia - your contribution doesn't go unappreciated.
@@RickMHB I mean we all liked zonda for its engine despite it being ugly .also that same engine is in one youtuber's $6500 s600...zondas ok but art with ugly front end and c12 that sounds like porche v6 like vacuum cleaner ...
Quite a thing that. I am glad there are still car makers like Pagani. Even if its just for a few, its good to know someone in Northern Italy, still knows how to make a proper thing.
Hi Harry, small correction: Mercedes does still use the V12 for itself - in the S680 Maybach. A very niche model, albeit. Fabulous video as usual, please don't stop making them!
Was just watching and commented to the wife how bored I was with Supercar/Hypercar exotica in general... Then I just discovered my new grail car. Makes me feel 7 years old with a Countach on my wall again.
To anyone who has some machining experience the parts Horacio is designing now are utterly delightful. They are beyond engineering - they have become works of art in themselves.
The proportions and shapes of the Utopia are just perfect. Like Moebius and Syd Mead got together and said "let's not go wild for once, let's distil...".
That Utopia is an absolute masterpiece. That interior has to be one of the top interiors for an automobile of all time! That incredible gated shifter with it's open architecture, and then those billet dials and real glass screens inside that looks like it was made by Rolex Watch Co. or something. Someday Horacio Pagani's name will no doubt go down in history with the other automotive masters like Enzo Ferrari, Ettore Bugatti, Ferruccio Lamborghini, Carl Benz, Ferdinand Porsche, and the many other automotive masters of yesteryear. Harry, you are a lucky man to be able to own a Countach and also lucky you can drive the Utopia! Very few people will ever be able to drive such an incredible work of art in automotive design and engineering.
The drive section with the Utopia reminds me of Harry and Dickie Meaden back in the days of EVO caning a 550 and a 599 on the same roads! Brilliant film that was.
One of my pet peeves.... "Carbon Fibre" is precisely the same as "FibreGlass" except that the fibre is carbon weave rather than glass weave. You could, fact use, silk or polyester fibres or wood fibre or titanium filaments. Kevlar is a "plastic". I have never understood the enthusiasm for carbon over any other binder. Long ago, I worked with fibreglass...
I think the bit for me that looks a bit off is the headlight surrounds, somehow it makes it clumsy and a bit bodged if you know what I mean. The early Zondas where much more clean looking.
And the fact that Harry seems to really not understand any Italian at all! So he's not nodding when Pagani says anything but waits for a translation. So British, lol. I thinks it's cool that Pagani is saying it in his own words, in his own language, and Harry gets to do the same 🙂
Martin Schanke was using Kevlar in around 1981...alongside John Welch & my dad, Colin Howard - the huge advantage over glassfibre (or steel!) Was that it had shape memory...
Sounds like it was bootstrapping mode in those earlier Lamborghini days. The designer himself making low weight high tech panels with his own hands and using what equipment they had.
I just learned about this channel from Doug Demuro. To be treated to possibly the most beautiful car ever, right out of the gate, wow. Since Top Gear died, I'm pretty supercar ignorant. I'm all subscribed now.
If you find you enjoy Harry’s Garage then try Tyrrell’s Classic Workshop. Harry has some of his cars including that Countach worked on there. Harry convinced Iain Tyrrell to try doing some TH-cam videos. Predominately cars from the 60’s to 80’s. Higher end vehicles. Going further from servicing and restorations, I really enjoy my weekend fix of a video from ”Retropower uncut”. Retromod projects which I would think average 18-24 months to complete. I believe they have a four year waiting list for a major project. The craftsmanship is incredible. So it’s not much of cars being driven but a lot of tin bashing, machining design work etc. I know both those recommendations are quite different to Doug or Harry’s videos but for a car enthusiast it’s not too far off for a subscriber to DeMuro’s channel. Just you won’t hear anyone who has the letter R as their favourite vowel.
Pagani is not just a fast sport car but it is a masterpiece of art in every detail even under hood with noble materials done with excellent handcraftmenship
His cars always sound so good. At times, I'm struggling with the appearance of their designs? This is very different, which I applaud, but is it good-looking? I honestly can't say? I respect Mr Pagani greatly. He reminds me of a Bond villain!
Yet again, Pagani builds another stunning feast for the senses. This is just astonishing on so many levels. I would, without hesitation, trade my Fiesta ST for one of these. 😊
Nice to hear Mr. Pagani talking for the first time. Normally i am not a big Pagani fan but this gentleman is an outstanding person. This Utopia is the first Pagani i really like. The engine is nuts.
I hope Pagani gave you a copy of the book on the Utopia they produced (with Giunti Editore) to mark its launch. I had the privilege of translating the book into English - sadly the closest I will ever get to driving a Utopia!
Great review of The Utopia, nobody does it better 👌A special moment, when Horacio explained how he made the Countach's engine cover "by my own hands" ❤
Enjoyed the front view out the windscreen, as Harry was devouring the country roads Isn’t a Kevlar based component more “high tech and kitschy” than basic CF? CF and it’s look-a-like knock-offs are a dime a dozen… It’s the single piece aluminum CNC machined components throughout the vehicle, and the exquisite interior design that seem (to me, IMHO), to be the differentiated between these vehicles and their competitors
Only a dime a dozen since most carbon stuff now is produced in Taiwan. It's a very labour intensive process, which means it's expensive when it's made in Europe.
I think the Utopia moved to twin scroll turbos that nearly eliminated the turbo lag. twin scrolls with 6 cylinders is ideal for exhaust pulses keeping the twin scrolls spooled up. I love that they went with a manual option for this car. It is so special.
Kevlar is techinally aramid, it's a common process to combine it with glass fiber to make it stronger and more heat resistant. Kevlar is just the marketing name from Dupont.
What a FANTASTIC piece of engineering and sadly something we will never see again. It is a work of art and that exposed engine bay is simply beautiful.
What a beautiful car. It's almost (in that colour) like a classic car in a very modern way. Love it. Pity you'd have to win big on the euro millions to afford to own and run one.
Well Harry, we became friends during Covid and we got through it together. Many thanks for the superb recent videos and you remain at the forefront of the video makers and excellent internet journalism !
Thank you Harry for another insightful upload. It is a lovely car. Beautiful machinery. It appears that one of my other favourite TH-camrs is a big fan of you Doug Demuro. I wish that you two could do a calibration video together. Enjoy the rest of the week.
A real Myth buster episode ❤ I wonder how many other stories live on in the motor trade that nobody really knows the truth about..😂 it just shows how little the trade really knows.. a wonderful episode and this Utopia styling is off the planet good, my all time favourite Pagani.
Beautiful colour that pagani. Looks fantastic too. Love this whole Lamborghini roadtrip. Appreciate all the time it takes to edit etc. Thanks been washing my cars today looking forward to this video. 😊
this looks like a huayrah that's crashed through halfords or had yiannamize on it. The styling is a backstep and the interior. That engine is a masterpiece though.
An extraordinary thing but the interior is not for me. Like a flashy watchmaker shared a magnum of Barolo with a blingy yacht designer and in the morning they still believed in their crazy chat.
Harry it is still a great work of art and a extraordinary car and the Utopia is a masterpiece of mechanical, art and passion for the best! Great review as always!!!
Quite a distinctive and exclusive brand. I was lucky to be passenger in a Zonda about ten years ago. The whole atmosphere aboard a Pagani makes you think of the universe of a top notch watchmaker. Quite fascinating. And I love the fact that Pagani chose to stick to a manual gearbox. Good for him. I don’t think there is any equivalent to a Pagani anywhere. The ruling team at Lamborghini back then were obviously foolish not to believe in Horatio Pagani. This Utopia like all other Paganis have a bit of a Modern Style look about them ! A tad fussy perhaps, but a remarkable achievement nonetheless. 😎
Fancy getting to get together with Horacio pagani and see all his stuff What an amazing man and company I got to see a zonda R in Singapore a few years back and was just amazed by it Good one harry 👍👍🇦🇺
Always funny to see guys like Mr Pagani so full of himself that he refuses to speak English although he is fluent !!! I suppose it makes him look that little bit more "authentic" to all his foreign clients who all converse in English ...... TV presenters in the UK and chefs do the same. Speak English with an Italian or French accent "à couper au couteau" LOL. Very STRONG Italian/French accents also using the Italian or French intonations. Seemingly a thing the "rich" enjoy and are willing to pay more for ...... In this video Mr Pagani understands every single word spoken in English and is perfectly capable of answering in English. 4:55 - LOL.
Thanks for an introduction to Pagani. I am aware of the cars, this is the first visual experience. The design and attention to detail is staggering. Bugatti in his era made engineering beautiful as well as inventive. Mr Pagani strikes me as the present day equivalent.
With all my respect for Koenigssegg.. Rimac ..Hennessey ..ORACIO PAGANI IS IN ANOTHER GALAXY ✨️and Harry looked so betrayed acknowledging the kevlar thing 😂❤
What an experience driving that Pagani. I saw a Zonda at Daytona once in the Paddock area. What a machine. Looked like something designed in the Andromeda Galaxy.
I visited PAGANI in May 2024 with a group of petrolheads on a group tour after the Monaco GP Historique; the entire PAGANI tour was like a view into the minds and hearts of true artists…spellbinding stuff!

The thing I like Harry the most is he doesn't hide the moments that he made mistakes, some TH-camrs hate being wrong and just cut those parts out. Harry just genuinely showed us he was wrong the whole time and how sad he was, that's really nice and cool.
'I want to go home now please'
And he keeps saying “kevlar” not kevlar reinforced fiberglass 😂
car is now worthless
Finest Italian Bakelite. Molto bene!
How nice that Mr Pagani signed your car. What a gentleman.
totally agree, lovely guy!

"Every now and again Harry drags me in...

It speaks well of Horacio Pagani that he still gives you such time and access even though you sold the Zonda. Clearly the respect is real.
The respect seems real for sure.

It does look lovely in black. The convertible looks even better.
It's the best looking Pagani by far
And it doesn’t look angry as so many performance cars do. Its’s just a beautiful design. It works!
Ya, its design works like a sculpture by the shapes, not by the 2d images
I really like how they roped off the Countach, very professional of them!
Great to see Mr Pagani still pretending not to speak English. Fantastic dedication 😃
Fascinating chat about the Countachs engine cover with Mr Pagani. Cheers Harry!

im 24 and i love the maturity and knowledge british accent passion and calmness from harry's videos which does he da best !
Problem with the Utopia is that I didn't like the styling initially but having since changed my mind they have all been sold.
Do they come with a lifetime's supply of eye-bleach?
Changed my mind also. Actually, I think the front is the most problematic, especially in this color, but in others it looks much better
Morris Marina Beige is probably the best colour for it.
I think the bit for me that looks a bit off is the headlight surrounds, somehow it makes it clumsy and a bit bodged if you know what I mean. The early Zondas where much more clean looking.
Ah shame, you can't buy one - well what about Bugatti, or Koenigsegg, perhaps ;)

First Pagani I've liked the design of.
I just learned about this channel from Doug Demuro. To be treated to possibly the most beautiful car ever, right out of the gate, wow. Since Top Gear died, I'm pretty supercar ignorant. I'm all subscribed now.
Check out Harry's farming channel. He makes farming almost as interesting as his cars!
Same, checked out the channel right when doug mentioned it. Subscribed immediately
If you find you enjoy Harry’s Garage then try Tyrrell’s Classic Workshop. Harry has some of his cars including that Countach worked on there. Harry convinced Iain Tyrrell to try doing some TH-cam videos. Predominately cars from the 60’s to 80’s. Higher end vehicles.
Going further from servicing and restorations, I really enjoy my weekend fix of a video from ”Retropower uncut”. Retromod projects which I would think average 18-24 months to complete. I believe they have a four year waiting list for a major project. The craftsmanship is incredible. So it’s not much of cars being driven but a lot of tin bashing, machining design work etc.
I know both those recommendations are quite different to Doug or Harry’s videos but for a car enthusiast it’s not too far off for a subscriber to DeMuro’s channel. Just you won’t hear anyone who has the letter R as their favourite vowel.
Harry's cars were regularly on Top Gear, too. James dinged up this Countach on a grand tour episode!
Pagani is not just a fast sport car but it is a masterpiece of art in every detail even under hood with noble materials done with excellent handcraftmenship
5:51 People are completely ignoring the Utopia and recording Horacio Pagani signing a Countach, proof that it was the defining supercar!
That Pagani Utopia is a work of art,absolutely magnificent.
His cars always sound so good. At times, I'm struggling with the appearance of their designs? This is very different, which I applaud, but is it good-looking? I honestly can't say? I respect Mr Pagani greatly. He reminds me of a Bond villain!
Yet again, Pagani builds another stunning feast for the senses. This is just astonishing on so many levels. I would, without hesitation, trade my Fiesta ST for one of these. 😊
Great channel as now recommended as his No.1 choice by Doug Demuro
Nice to hear Mr. Pagani talking for the first time.
Normally i am not a big Pagani fan but this gentleman is an outstanding person. This Utopia is the first Pagani i really like. The engine is nuts.
I hope Pagani gave you a copy of the book on the Utopia they produced (with Giunti Editore) to mark its launch. I had the privilege of translating the book into English - sadly the closest I will ever get to driving a Utopia!
that book looks amazing. great that you were involved!
‘The shape of air’?
@@Tyson__B Yes.
Great review of The Utopia, nobody does it better 👌A special moment, when Horacio explained how he made the Countach's engine cover "by my own hands" ❤
Enjoyed the front view out the windscreen, as Harry was devouring the country roads
Isn’t a Kevlar based component more “high tech and kitschy” than basic CF? CF and it’s look-a-like knock-offs are a dime a dozen…
It’s the single piece aluminum CNC machined components throughout the vehicle, and the exquisite interior design that seem (to me, IMHO), to be the differentiated between these vehicles and their competitors
Only a dime a dozen since most carbon stuff now is produced in Taiwan. It's a very labour intensive process, which means it's expensive when it's made in Europe.
I think the Utopia moved to twin scroll turbos that nearly eliminated the turbo lag. twin scrolls with 6 cylinders is ideal for exhaust pulses keeping the twin scrolls spooled up. I love that they went with a manual option for this car. It is so special.
Kevlar is techinally aramid, it's a common process to combine it with glass fiber to make it stronger and more heat resistant. Kevlar is just the marketing name from Dupont.
What I remember about Kevlar was it blunted your scissors/knife blade really friggin' quickly.
nothing special its called reinforced fibre glass. my Renault 5 gt turbo has bumper made from same stuff
@@Lemingtona-x5g mmm i thought this is a woven material though. Lends to much stronger parts than a chopped fiber.
@@mitchellsteindler its a mix of the two
@@mitchellsteindler You get all sorts of weaves of glass fibre, not just chopped strand matt a-la- TVR and Reliant.
What a FANTASTIC piece of engineering and sadly something we will never see again. It is a work of art and that exposed engine bay is simply beautiful.
What a beautiful car. It's almost (in that colour) like a classic car in a very modern way. Love it. Pity you'd have to win big on the euro millions to afford to own and run one.
Another great review,giving a very balanced,enthusiastic commentary as usual of a beautiful,exotic car…please keep the videos coming 🎉🎉
This is a very special Harry’s Garage video, fantastic.
Another great video and experience. Just love that V12 sound and the exhaust cracking as it cools down.... 👌Perfect Harry.
V12 Mercedes Twin-Turbo can still be found in Maybach and Guard S680 Models, which are being sold
Congrats Harry on being named as Doug DeMuro's all time favourite automotive TH-camr. Well deserved.
Well Harry, we became friends during Covid and we got through it together. Many thanks for the superb recent videos and you remain at the forefront of the video makers and excellent internet journalism !
This is fast becoming one of my favorite subscriptions, always enjoyable. Many thanks.
This is Horacio's true masterpiece!!!!!!
Big ups to you, Harry. What a chat.🙌🏽 This channel is the #1 car channel on TH-cam , great insight. Thank you.🙏🏽✌🏽
Its Sunday so its a bit of Harry and cars 😁
Thank you Harry for another insightful upload. It is a lovely car. Beautiful machinery. It appears that one of my other favourite TH-camrs is a big fan of you Doug Demuro. I wish that you two could do a calibration video together. Enjoy the rest of the week.
i don't know english well enough, sorry i can't find the words, what a great episode this is, i'm just delighted
Sure
A real Myth buster episode ❤ I wonder how many other stories live on in the motor trade that nobody really knows the truth about..😂 it just shows how little the trade really knows.. a wonderful episode and this Utopia styling is off the planet good, my all time favourite Pagani.
12:33 This note sound from the engine is a throwback from the Zonda era, for sure!
Like the sensor technology in the tyres and new possibilities it gives. Great video, as usual.👍
Oh my word, what a review this is gonna be!
Beautiful colour that pagani. Looks fantastic too. Love this whole Lamborghini roadtrip. Appreciate all the time it takes to edit etc. Thanks been washing my cars today looking forward to this video. 😊
this looks like a huayrah that's crashed through halfords or had yiannamize on it. The styling is a backstep and the interior. That engine is a masterpiece though.
The perfect car for someone who's had a Mansory Roller and thought "Nah, nowhere NEAR enough tasteless bling".
@@TonyWhitley the paganis were always outlandish but tasteful. not sure what happened here. maybe it looks better in the metal
An extraordinary thing but the interior is not for me. Like a flashy watchmaker shared a magnum of Barolo with a blingy yacht designer and in the morning they still believed in their crazy chat.
Harry it is still a great work of art and a extraordinary car and the Utopia is a masterpiece of mechanical, art and passion for the best! Great review as always!!!
4 for 1 Zonda? Nuts, bet you wish still had your's Harry!!
Quite a distinctive and exclusive brand. I was lucky to be passenger in a Zonda about ten years ago. The whole atmosphere aboard a Pagani makes you think of the universe of a top notch watchmaker. Quite fascinating. And I love the fact that Pagani chose to stick to a manual gearbox. Good for him. I don’t think there is any equivalent to a Pagani anywhere. The ruling team at Lamborghini back then were obviously foolish not to believe in Horatio Pagani. This Utopia like all other Paganis have a bit of a Modern Style look about them ! A tad fussy perhaps, but a remarkable achievement nonetheless. 😎
You should fix a transparent laminated cover over that signature!
I was at the factory in July, what a pleasure it was. Unreal place.
"Pirelli" Harry in an Italian accent at 6:17. Horacio"s rubbing off on him.
Fantastic drive-along review, lovely car. Peak auto journalism
Nothing else looks like a Pagani interior. I think TVR were going for a similar aesthetic.
Spyker got it right.
@@altjacobs ah yes forgot about that brand.
Fancy getting to get together with Horacio pagani and see all his stuff
What an amazing man and company
I got to see a zonda R in Singapore a few years back and was just amazed by it
Good one harry 👍👍🇦🇺
He got his fibre-glass signed by Pagani tho :)
How does this not have a million views yet
A signed lid very cool
Best automotive journalist in the game. Thank you for the great video Harry!
Always funny to see guys like Mr Pagani so full of himself that he refuses to speak English although he is fluent !!!
I suppose it makes him look that little bit more "authentic" to all his foreign clients who all converse in English ......
TV presenters in the UK and chefs do the same. Speak English with an Italian or French accent "à couper au couteau" LOL.
Very STRONG Italian/French accents also using the Italian or French intonations.
Seemingly a thing the "rich" enjoy and are willing to pay more for ......
In this video Mr Pagani understands every single word spoken in English and is perfectly capable of answering in English.
4:55 - LOL.
Such a Fantastic Car. The interior reminds me of a Spyker C8. The Spyker is still my favourite car 🤩!
Harry: it’s NOT Kevlar. He didn’t say it was 😂 you are hearing what you want to hear
Thanks for an introduction to Pagani. I am aware of the cars, this is the first visual experience. The design and attention to detail is staggering. Bugatti in his era made engineering beautiful as well as inventive. Mr Pagani strikes me as the present day equivalent.
On my god, he signed your engine cover, what a fabulous guy, it’s probably doubled the value of your car !
Simply an all-round treat. Car and presentation, oh so good and complete.
With all my respect for Koenigssegg.. Rimac ..Hennessey ..ORACIO PAGANI IS IN ANOTHER GALAXY ✨️and Harry looked so betrayed acknowledging the kevlar thing 😂❤
What an experience driving that Pagani. I saw a Zonda at Daytona once in the Paddock area. What a machine. Looked like something designed in the Andromeda Galaxy.
That intro was next level, definitely vibing with it.
I visited PAGANI in May 2024 with a group of petrolheads on a group tour after the Monaco GP Historique; the entire PAGANI tour was like a view into the minds and hearts of true artists…spellbinding stuff!
