Jaw dropping stuff!
The 1st customer car looks better than the red and silver/ grey ones I have seen, the colour on the front bumper gives it more shape IMO.
The UNO having had work done... Hope this means we finally see it next year in London, or out of the factory at last.

Is the Huyara available for anyone to buy or is it available by invitation only or similar? Also does anyone know/know of anyone who is having one? Not after personal details or anything, just intrigues as to how much interest there has been!

Mr Pagini is the Steve Jobs of the automotive world. It doesn't get any better than this.

Unless I'm maybe lucky enough to see one in the flesh (metal?!), I don't think I'm ever going to warm to the shape of the Huayra. I just find the Zonda shape far more pleasing, so it's a special thrill to see so many of these wonderful cars in one place.

Is that turquoise Uno still for sale or has it found a buyer? My one complaint with the later, more powerful Zondas is their sprouting of more intakes, diluting the original clean lines. (Total lack of rear visibility might be a problem too?) However, I'd happily find a space in my fantasy garage for the Uno, love the colour!

The Uno was finished a while back, but it appears there was "discussions" about it. Latest rumours are that the problems have been solved and it has been properly sold now.

For anyone, but previous Pagani customers get priority first. Rumours say approximately 60 cars sold so far.

Anyone know what's under the covers behind the row of Zonda's? Looks a little bit MC12-ish to me, the nose looks too long to be a Zonda or a Hauyuaruuararuaar (I'm not even going to try and spell that properly).

I'd say Ford GT as its got a square backend and a Ford branded cover on?

Good call! I've got a really low-res screen at work so couldn't see the Ford badge! (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it...)

Am I the only one that finds it odd that almost 10% of total Pagani production are at the factory? Or is that normal?

A few thoughts:

- Pagani knew press visitors were coming and wanted to wheel out an impressive show for the cameras.
- The article implies that the cars pictured are in storage and not used during the winter. Correct me if I'm wrong, but many if not all owners (especially those in Europe) seem to deal directly with the factory in terms of upgrades and servicing etc? So perhaps for many of these owners it also makes sense for them to store their cars directly at the factory, where presumably they're well looked after until required again?

This is correct

It's a great place to visit if you get a chance. Went back in September and did Lamborghini later that afternoon (Ferrari the day before). All super/hypercar makers, but each company had a different feel about it. Pagani felt like a family company. Horacio wasn't there the day we went but his son was.
They told us they had plans to move to a larger location in the near future, so if you can, pay a visit to visit a bit over motoring history.

It may just be the way the picture is taken, but the second photo makes the place look a little, well, 'warehouse-y'! I was expecting some gleaming, white marbled floor tiles and shiny bits everywhere - kind of like a McLaren Technology Centre rather than a storage warehouse!

As I say, it may be just the photo that makes it look that way!

It's the new factory - it will be getting changed over time when the Huayra production starts properly (or at least that was the original plan, not sure what it is currently). They also previously had a storage place close by the factory before where they stored cars for owners, but it was much more private. I wonder if they have any cars still stored there?
