The original Huayra design was never my cup of tea, but I would never call it a bad design. This one on the other hand just looks cheap and oldfashioned and bad. Not bad in a good way like the Senna, but just no good at all.

I always thought that the addition of the front splitter made a massive difference, the original looked a bit buck toothed to me.

I think Pagini may have disappeared up their own tailpipe.

I guess at £5 mil each, all sold, Mr Pagani and his bank/backers are very pleased and don't give a flying one what we think.

The Sultan of Brunei kept Rolls Royce, Bentley and possibly Aston Martin in business (literally) in the 90's with some very dubious looking derivatives and ground-up new cars. Did they say to him, nah, keep you multi-millions pal, we'll soldier on with our four basic models and various paint schemes, because we are arbiters of good taste and quality manufacturing?

Nope, they took the cash and survived (just in one case).

So what? Literally what is the point of a comment like this?
You can't criticise an objectively bad design because it's expensive?
Utterly pointless sycophantism.

Not my cup of tea, but then its not my chequebook doing the spending

Best thing about them is the 25 million dollars returned to the Italian economy.

It's literally that if anyone wants to order and have made a car that they desire and have the money for, they will. Or do you think that all manufacturers have to run their designs past you first to see if it meets your standards of taste?

It's a business, they need to make money and money doesn't always mean good taste or aesthetic genius.

E: Actually sorry I'm clearly just in a bad mood today!

I think it looks awful though which is gutting as Zonda R is one of my favourite pieces of design ever. Something about this just lacks cohesion.

I don't think Horacio is gonna see your white knight postings and shag you mate.

1. I'm not your mate
2. I'm not aware of Mr Pagani's sexuality and it is of no concern to me
3. I would not buy any of their vehicles if I had the money to do so

Jeez, that Parrot is really low this morning....
