not sure of the looks but quite a technically interesting car. love watching the hubs etc being machined
Some fascinating facts in this video:
Pagani Huayra
But the video is so pretentious! (Magnificent car though...)

Sven Goren Pagani has produced a sophisticated car, think the looks need to grow on me though.
Still dont know how its pronounced, presenter did it atleast 4 ways.
Fantastic , thanks for posting
tilly

Some interesting material/process bits in there, but you have to stomach the marketing cheese.
Not that I can afford one of course, but the interior leaves me stone cold. I seriously doubt I could drive the car if I had to sit in there and look
at the dash and steering column arrangement....someone should introduce the less is more concept!
I was very lucky to drive a Ferrari California over Christmas and found the same applied there. Far too many buttons, settings, screens, buzzers and
general tat adorned the dashboard. It really detracts from the driving experience IMHO.
It was the "24 hours to machine the name for the rear of the car" bit that amused me - there are so many better ways of making that
name-plate, not only better, but probably a lot cheaper! (for example, lost-wax casting - if it's good enough for jewellers, it's good
enough for a Pagani).
I agree about the interior though - the outside is beautiful, the engine is amazing, but the inside is just "footballer's bling" - more
shiny bits than good taste would normally allow!
Yeah, I wouldn't want one either.
Not really a fan of the car. but a great bit of engineering and good video!
I also have a thought in the back of my mind - if I had a huge pile of money, would I really need that car to have a heap of fun? Are there other
cars that would keep me amused for considerably less money? I suspect that there are many candidates...
...not forgetting that you couldn't get that fun on any public roads in Europe, so all this talk of performance is total BS! Even if you're
rich enough to hire a track for a day - would you get your money's worth? I doubt it!
I loved the sound of the Zonda's with the n/a 7.3 litre Merc V12 but the new twin turbo engine sounds too muted. I like the looks of the new one and I like the fact that someone is eccentric enough to have it all done his way. Obviously it's out of the reach of all but a few but it would be a nice feeling to know that you had enough money to own one. The trouble then is that there would be many other things you could afford and want so it still wouldn't be an easy decision. Regardless of whether or not you like the car, you have to admire the fact that machines like these do actually exist.
i must admit, if i had that theoretical pile of cash, id have a zonda r for the track and a cinque for the roads... Im a huge fan of the zonda.
