Wanted to get a model of the Pagani, but unfortunately, no high quality model were commissioned...
The standard for everything in Italy is compared to what the Pope uses...
Pagani gives you a pair of these shoes when you buy a Zonda and it is the same shoe that the Pope wears...
Like Lamborghini, photography were not allowed in the factory.The right door on the photo leads right into the main assembly station.
What was shocking was that the entire factory was only about three times as big as the showroom.
It was more like an advanced tuning shop than a factory to me...
On the table were hugebinders with the customer's name on them...
At the time I was there, they were working on two... which I can't reveal their names (let's just say it was a big shot business man and a big sports star)
Next to the assembly station is the fabrication room.
There was one Spanish lady who did all their carbon fiber (they all sign their names on every part they make)
It was the first time seeing how carbon fiber is made in person, and while it looked 'easy', I'm sure it was anything but easy.
She said customers who asks for the no paint option is a nightmare becuase everything had to line up.
Understandably, the no paint option costs more and the painted ones.
Check out the perfect symmetry on the car in the showroom!
Then there was the paint shop, storage, and ovens to cook those carbon fiber...
Everything looked very close to our clay modeling room during college...
I was just amazed how a place small as this produced such great cars...
It was a strange feeling after visiting Pagani.
In a time when all the major companies squeeze out the smaller 'mom-and-pop' supercar makers, there was Horacio and his dream...
He did it without being a son of wealthy parents (Koeinsegg), he did it mopping floors in Lamborghini...
