Pagani

Pagani, an Italian maker of carbon fiber components and sports cars, was founded in 1992 near Modena. Pagani is designed to celebrate the harmony between art and science, these cars can catch the moment. Past and future meet at the perfect time, at the exact instant when the wind of creativity starts to blow.

Pagani Zonda, Zonda R, Zonda Cinque, Zonda Tricolore, Zonda HP Barchetta, Huayra, Huayra BC, and Huayra Roadster Gyrfalcon are some of the sports cars made by this firm. Pagani does not mass-produce these models, instead releasing a limited amount.

The intriguing Zonda, powered by a 6.0-litre V12 Mercedes engine, was Pagani's debut automobile. The £1m, 235mph Huayra was debuted in 2011 after a series of versions, each one more elegant, outrageously designed, and generally faster than the one before it. It came in a variety of customised and ultra-limited edition variations, including a run of 20 Huayra BC cars named after his buddy and first customer Benny Caiola.

To have created one of the most expensive brands of car in such a short space of time is testament to its creator and to the fact that the brand has maintained its innocence. Pagani wants to make very fast cars with personality and character and to push the metaphorical design and engineering envelopes as far as they are willing to be pushed.
