What an impressive little company
I can see why they have a dedicated set of buyers - the cars are immaculately hand built and its such a small team of people that are developing/building the cars

Whats even more impressive is the fact that the Huayra is clearly an incredibly capable car (which imo felt better than the Supersport) has been developed by such a small team.

Many thanks to John Morrison and all the team at Pagani (particularly Mr Pagani for taking me out in the Huayra)

Awesome photos and video Traxx, Pagani are a great little company, I've been lucky enough to explore many Zonda's up close and they are very very special indeed. Still need to see a Huayra though...

Much the same experience as I found; Pagani are a hugely impressive little company. I've taken my test ride video down for sensitivity reasons but the Huayra, even though the example shown is still technically a prototype, felt utterly complete to me and much more special than any Veyron.

You should put an offer in for the Al Thani owned/ not owned one, been there 2 years, screaming to be driven.
Does look amazing there, I would really love to go, the fact you can walkaround watching them being built must be very special indeed.

Which one's for sale, the Uno (turquoise), or the 750 (purple)? I think they were both AL-Thani commissions, but I've only ever seen renderings of the 750 - was it ever completed?

the interiors blow away all the others dont they!

i had a look at the cinque the other day at the dorchester and the interior was another level.

only thing i can think of close is a spyker, or a aeromax... lovely job.

The 750 was commissioned for a customer who owned a Zonda before and wanted something even more special, but it was not an Al Thani car. I'm not actually sure if it was completed since I have not seen any photos, I am sure T Wareham could back this up as its his client.

The 750 I undersatnd was never built, but recently Harry Metcaffe indicated that a special Zonda was under construcion but he was not allowed to give any details:



N.Altani over on the Teamspeed web site said this about the car, and I quote:

"Originally Posted by N.Althani »
this car was mading for me , its all with my configures
i cancel the order coz i have a small problems with the company owner
and now im planning for Grand Sport Bugatti"

He did end up buying the Grand Sport
