Enlightening interview with Heratio Pagani.

IMHO, Pagani builds the SuperCars of SuperCars. Here's a little insight into the man behind them:

Yeah it was a fantastic experience. Pictures weren't allowed in the factory but I was lucky enough to be there when a rich Chinese diplomat was test driving his car.







The coolest thing about the whole factory though was this stereo

Pagani is awesome but my supercar of choice is the Koenigsegg (specifically the Agera R):

Great car as well. Koenigsegg is all about engineering and Pagani is all about the emotion and the experience.

Pagani is very much as engineered as Koenigsegg. One of Horacio's childhood idols was Leonardo Da Vinci, and he built and F3 car when he was 20 years old. His whole life has revolved around cars, engineering and design.

The nurburgring lap of the Zonda R is something to behold. Put it in fullscreen mode (you'll have to watch it through YouTube), crank up the volume, and HOLD ON!!!

I agreee, I'm just saying that there isn't really emotion with the Koenigsegg. It's like the GTR vs a Gallardo.
