Sometimes difficult to get a sense of what is happening becasue of the funny fish-eye lens he is using...

... is the driver the big guy (probably a company director too...) that hands the car over to Chris in his vid?
Looks a bit like the test driver that arrives at the restaurant, Davide Teste I think...Edited by Fastra on Thursday 12th July 17:10

Is there any chance you could do a back to back test with this, the Gumpert, and a Koenigsegg?
There will, somewhere, be an insane road test in 12 or so months time. Once we have the Huayra, Koenigsegg Agera R, McLaren F1 sucessor, Ferrari Enzo sucessor, Porsche 918 Spyder, latest iteration of Gumpert Appollo, Henessey Venom GT Spyder, Aston Martin One-77, an Aventador for a budget option, throw in a Veyron Supersport/GSV as well and hey presto - the group test I would read for days if it was long enough to.

(Since it was my suggestion I should be the winner).

Silly question, but with the key you have to take the top off it (like a USB stick) in able to insert it. What happens to the top that you have removed?
Haha I thought this as well! Wouldn't really want to be losing that. Also the key system itself looks to be the same thing as in Merc's, which would make sense because of the AMG engine. Thought I truly love the sound of the thing, the fact all '65 AMG' 's have a very similar noise, at least at start up and low revs, might be a little annoying for any prospective owners?

I am into my cars, but that thing doesn’t interest me in the slightest. Anything from hot hatches to more expensive stuff like AMG Mercs, M BMW’s, GTR’s Porsches and stuff like Ferrari’s and Lambo interest me. As whilst they are mostly all stupidly expensive they are within grasp of more people. And even if they aren’t it’s still possible to get to experience one.
That pagini [and cars like the veyron etc] are ridiculous tacky cars made for the worst, most inhuman and basically nasty people with zero morals in the world. Like Arab oil barons. I met a few of them in the middle east when I worked there briefly and they are truly horrible people. Spoilt 18 yr old brats who wouldn’t let a friend take a photo of a Lambo he was sitting in. He said if you want a photo of it, buy your own! This from a brat who looked 18yrs old going by his stupid tash- this sums them and their mentality up.
Pagani customers are people like this. And people like Bob Diamond and other bankers who ruined so many lives. Or dictators and the like. You have to be a complete to buy one of them lol
I couldn’t give a flying fk about this blingy over the top wker mobile as I never will see one, never will drive one and couldn’t care less
I’d be happy with a M3, C63, M5, GTR, 458, MP4-12C and even if I won a £140M in the euromillions I would never buy this car. It’s obscene and disgusting. So there
Before anyone says you are on the wrong site etc etc no I am not. I watched all Harris vids and enjoyed most of them but these type cars don’t float my boat.

Don't be silly. The Aventador is like a rental VW Fox compared to the Pagani.
Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent blokes.The AWD Lambo looks like a safer bet for a simple mortal like me: with 700 horsies on tap I'd like to a play just that bit safe when having fun.
Not everyone is Chris Harris and Hamster looked like he had 'nuff fun with the Italian Beast.

You don't have to turn the traction control off.. ! The AWD Lambo looks like a safer bet for a simple mortal like me: with 700 horsies on tap I'd like to a play just that bit safe when having fun.

Given the price differential and inherent rarity of Paganis, I would'nt be surprised if Aventadours would make a good courtesy cars when the Pagani goes in for a service. A bit like having your R8 serviced and being given a Golf for the day.;)

It is clear he had many takes for the drifting. And the road was cordoned off probably.Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
