PAGANI PARTICIPATES IN THE CONCORSO DI ELEGANZA VILLA D’ESTE

– From May 19th to 21st Pagani Automobili will be at the prestigious event which, for many years, has crowned the most beautiful classic cars and most stunning prototypes.
– One of the five Huayra Codalunga made by the Pagani Grandi Complicazioni division is competing in the Concept Car category.
– The hypercar on show stands out for its iridescent Bronzo Aymara livery with an exposed carbon fiber finish, exclusive vintage leather upholstery and fine Loro Piana fabric.
– In conjunction with the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, an extremely rare Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta Revo will be hosted at the exclusive Villa Sucota during the FuoriConcorso from May 20th to 21st.
– The countdown is on for Atelier Pagani’s 25th anniversary event which is open to the public and taking place in mid-June in the heart of Modena.

May 17, 2023 – San Cesario Sul Panaro: Pagani Automobili is proud to announce that it will be making its first appearance at the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, the most exclusive and historical classic car event in the world, from May 19th to 21st, at Lake Como.

Held for the first time in 1929, the festival has always been set in the splendid gardens of the Grand Hotel Villa d’Este and Villa Erba in Cernobbio. Broken up into various categories, in 2002 the festival introduced an award for the most stunning prototype, the type of vehicles which best represent the link between the automobile’s glorious past and its exciting future.

The second of the five Huayra Codalunga created by Pagani Grandi Complicazioni, the division dedicated to one-off and few-off vehicles, will be competing in the Concept Car category. An authentic tribute to Italian coachbuilders and race cars from the 1960s, this model was created by getting the customers involved in the entire development of the project.

Its story began in 2018 when two collectors asked Horacio Pagani and his team to create a long-tail version of the Pagani Huayra Coupé. The idea was to produce a hypercar which was as elegant as it was simple and clean in its design, a model that felt just as much at home on the road as it did on show in international competitions.

The car on display stands out for its special exterior paint job which pays tribute to Bronzo Aymara, the launch color of the Huayra Coupè, which has been redesigned with an exposed carbon fiber finish. At first look, the paint looks like normal opaque Bronzo Aymara; however, if hit by light from particular angles, the carbon fiber can be seen. Moreover, standing out on the enveloping livery of the rear hood, the word Codalunga has been painted. Everything has been made even more special by the interiors upholstered in vintage-effect heritage leather which has been paired with a fine Loro Piana fabric.

The rear engine cover, which has a footprint of more than 3.7 m2, and is 360 mm longer than the one of the Huayra Coupé, conceals a mechanical prodigy: the Pagani V12, which, on this series, is capable of developing 840 HP with 1,100 Nm of torque. Moreover, the lack of rear grilles makes space for an unobstructed view of the Codalunga’s exhaust system, which is made from titanium and weighs only 4.4 kg (9.7 lb). The special ceramic coating completes the homage to the racing cars of Le Mans and the symphony that emanates from the signature four tailpipes is a tribute to automotive passion.

Further information on the Huayra Codalunga is available at this link: https://www.pagani.com/press/pagani-huayra-codalunga-grandi-complicazioni-on-wheels/

In conjunction with the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, the FuoriConcorso will take place from May 20th to 21st, an event which pays tribute to the most beautiful aspects of car culture with events and gatherings throughout Italy and the world.

The splendid Villa Scuota, the headquarters of Fondazione Ratti and an elegant residence overlooking Lake Como, will host the extremely rare Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta Revo, a one-off model which cannot help but thrill and amaze at first sight.

Its name instantly reveals that behind the beauty and elegance inspired by the road Zonda HP Barchetta, there lies a rebellious soul and performance levels which live up to the Zonda Revolución. This one-off combining two of the brand’s most iconic vehicles required considerable effort on the part of Team Pagani. It was especially complicated to develop a central structure made specifically for this model using the most advanced composite materials.

The chassis is made up of a Carbo-Titanium HP62 G2 and Carbo-Triax HP62 monocoque with front and rear frames in Cr-Mo steel and carbon fiber bodywork. The suspension is a 4-wheel independent wishbone with upper rocker arms, helical springs and adjustable shock absorbers paired with an anti-roll bar. Its dry weight is 1,050 kg.

Under the hood, in a longitudinal central position, there is the aspirated V12 Mercedes-AMG engine which supplies up to 800 HP (625 kW) at 8,250 rpm and 750 Nm (77kgm) of torque between 5,500 and 8,300 rpm. The V12 60° twin-turbo engine is combined with a six-speed sequential gearbox (plus reverse) with a three-disc “racing” gearset and dog clutch in sintered metal.

The titanium exhaust coated with ceramic unleashes an unmistakable sound while the rear-wheel drive features an electromechanical self-locking differential. The braking system uses ventilated Brembo CCM (Carbon Ceramic Materials-Racing) discs and the tires are Pirelli P Zero slick with 295/650/R19 in the front and 325/705/R19 in the rear.

The Pagani Zonda HP Barchetta Revo’s remarkable racing core has been enhanced by meticulous attention to the tiniest details, as demonstrated both by the blue anodized aluminum components milled from a single block and the special livery inspired by one of the Can-Am-style aluminum models on display in the Horacio Pagani Museo which was made by a young Horacio Pagani in 1962.

Participation in the event in Cernobbio marks yet another step towards the festivities of Pagani’s 25th anniversary which will take place in the heart of Modena from June 16th to 18th. The complete program of this event which is open to the public is available at pagani.com: https://www.pagani.com/pagani-automobili-25th-anniversary/

PAGANI UTOPIA STARS AT THE MOTOR VALLEY FEST 2023

– The fifth edition of the open-air Motor Valley Fest will take place from May 11th to 14th. Pagani Automobili will be there with two of its timeless icons.
– For the first time, the general public will be able to admire the third chapter in the automotive brand’s history, the Utopia, which will be displayed at the Courtyard of Honor in Modena’s Ducal Palace, the home of the military academy.
– The Huayra Roadster BC will also be showcased in the square of Formigine Castle.
– On Saturday May 13th the Museo Horacio Pagani and Atelier will be open to the public.
– The festivities in celebration of Pagani Automobili’s 25th anniversary carry on and will culminate in a mid-June event which is open to the public in the heart of Modena.

May 4, 2023 – San Cesario Sul Panaro: Pagani Automobili is participating in the fifth edition of the Motor Valley Fest from May 11th to 14th in Emilia-Romagna, a region which welcomed Horacio Pagani and his idea of creating a dream car over thirty years ago.

As always, the event will take place in the heart of Modena, a UNESCO World Heritage City thanks to its artistic and architectural treasures. This evocative location fits well with the Pagani Hypercars, as they are both expressions of the Leonardesque principle of “Art and Science” on which the company’s philosophy and creations were founded.

Pagani Automobili will be participating in the event with the Utopia and Huayra Roadster BC.

The Utopia represents the third chapter in the automotive brand’s history and will be displayed at the Courtyard of Honor in Modena’s Ducal Palace, the home of the military academy. It will be the first time that the general public will be able to admire Horacio Pagani’s and his team’s creation, following its official presentation last September in Milan in two events: the World Premiere at the Teatro Lirico and the exhibition at the Museo Nazionale Scienza e Tecnologia Leonardo da Vinci.
Featuring a simple and one-of-a-kind design, the Pagani Hypercar expresses a contrasting and utopian idea which is romantically distant from the current conception of the automobile. Produced in just 99 units, the first Utopia coupé series has already been allotted to a small group of enthusiasts.

Further information on the Utopia is available at this link: https://www.pagani.com/press/world-premiere-of-the-new-pagani-utopia/

The Atelier Pagani, the brand’s “tailoring” workshop, also gave life to the second vehicle being showcased in the square in front of the castle in Formigine, a town neighboring Modena. This vehicle is the Huayra Roadster BC, whose the initials stand for Pagani Automobili’s first customer, Benny Caiola. It was designed as a road vehicle but also provides intense thrills on the racetrack.
To supply customers with a reliable, safe, and exciting vehicle, the Roadster BC underwent extensive testing: more than 350,000 km of verification, including over 45,000 km on the racetrack and many more on test benches or during simulations.
The test program concluded at the beginning of September 2020 on the legendary Belgian Spa-Francorchamps circuit, where the Huayra Roadster BC came in at 2:23,081 minutes, a new record for nationally approved road vehicles. A few months later on the Vairano track, the Quattroruote team clocked in at 1:07,681 minutes—the best time ever recorded at the Pavia racetrack.

Further information on the Huayra Roadster BC is available at this link: https://www.pagani.com/press/huayra-roadster-bc/

Lastly, for fans of Italian cars and design, it will be possible to visit the Museo Horacio Pagani and Atelier in San Cesario Sul Panaro on Saturday May 13th by appointment, by calling +39 059220022.

With the participation at the Motor Valley Fest 2023, the festivities in celebration of the brand’s 25th anniversary carry on and will culminate in an event which is open to the public from June 16th to 18th in Piazza Roma in the heart of Modena, where Pagani Automobili got its start and wrote an unforgettable page in Made-In-Italy history.
The event’s full program is available on the site pagani.com: https://www.pagani.com/pagani-automobili-25th-anniversary/

PAGANI AUTOMOBILI. 25 YEARS OF HEART, HANDS AND PASSION

The search for beauty continues. Incessantly.

Beauty in the details, beauty in the lines, in the beating heart of cars that are born as creations and not just as designs. Beauty where you cannot see it.

 

I had been working for Lamborghini, under the control of the American automobile manufacturer Chrysler, for a few years,Maurizio Ferrari tells us, “and the Gulf War had changed everything. Almost all the company’s orders were cancelled, and like many others, I was receiving wage support in 1991. Horacio told me about his plan, about the car he had in mind, the life he wanted. I had met him a few years earlier, when he was a level-three factory worker with Lamborghini, and now there he was, right in front of me, talking to me about his visions as if they were already reality. He said that if the company laid me off after my wage support ran out, I could go work with him and help make his dream come true. The supercar manufacturers were all in trouble at that time. I still don’t know what I was thinking, back then, but that’s how it all started”.

Then, on a day like any other in 1992, Horacio Pagani showed Maurizio Ferrari a vacant piece of land.

This is where we’ll build the new factory and make the car,” he said.

Maurizio stared at him. He didn’t know what to think. He was already working on the project Horacio had in mind, the one that was to become the Zonda. He knew how hard it was to make a dream come true. Then he looked at the empty space in front of them. He really could see the car right there before them, and whether it was because of their friendship, or because he was crazy, he believed Horacio yet again.

If I could do it all over again, I’d come right back here”. So says Maurizio Ferrari today, happy that he believed in Horacio and that he worked with him for 32 years. This is a story within the story of Pagani Automobili.

 

Horacio Pagani not only dreamed up and built some of the world’s most beautiful hypercars, he made the company a creative atelier where a community of people works together, sharing their skills and ideas, addressing the great challenges of complicated mechanics, handling beauty and finding reciprocal inspiration.

 

A community of people whose everyday thoughts, actions and words become part of something bigger, a creative design that is unique and different every time.

The people who work with us do it with passion and, like beauty, passion is contagious,” says Leonardo Pagani.Anyone who climbs aboard one of our automobiles can see this in the care taken with the smallest details, the excitement of holding the steering wheel in your hands for the first time; an excitement you will feel every time you drive it. Our customers don’t  just buy an automobile, but all the palpable emotions and love that every one of us has put into doing our part. This is why many of our customers find that a single Pagani is not enough for them and come back to buy another”.

Love, emotions, excitement. This is another story within the story of Pagani.

My brother and I had the good fortune to be involved in the company right from the start,” shares Christopher Pagani.I was only a child, and I spent my afternoons playing and watching in the workshop, which was located right underneath my room. I saw it as a world full of fantastic things. I didn’t realize it at the time, but I was already learning what was going to be my life-long profession”.

A family that becomes an extended community, a value that is perceived and received, because, as Commercial Director Hannes Zanon says, Family and community. This is what we are. Everyone can bring their own ideas here and have a chance to express them. Horacio listens to everyone, their inspiration and suggestions, thinks about them, compares them, and the emotions arising out of these meetings of ideas almost always become projects.”

Horacio has certain intuitions; he’s inspired by a detail that strikes him that often we don’t even notice,” comments designer Alberto Piccolo (Designer – Head of Interiors). “But he falls in love with the idea, studies it, involves us in his creative exploration and establishes an affinity with us that is above all, emotional. The Pagani style is the product of great cultural ferment, but it also creates a sense of belonging, of awareness. I know that this is not just a job for me. I’m creating something, and this is a priceless sensation.”

 

Pagani Automobili was officially established in 1998, but its story actually began well before this.It began in a little room in Casilda, in the pampas of Argentina, where a 10-year-old boy dreamed of his future, carving balsa wood to make little model cars. It began with the curiosity of that little boy, an avid reader who came to be fascinated with the way Leonardo da Vinci combined Art with Science. This fascination was to stay with him, becoming the inspiration for his life and work.

We were not much more than children: he was 15 and I was 14. We played tennis at the same club. He was good at it, better than me, and we were friends. We were true friends, even back then. I saw the birth of Horacio’s dream. He talked about it all the time. He showed me his drawings, his model cars, his magazines. He was fascinated by Gran Turismo cars, the ones that ran the 24 Hours of Le Mans. That was all he thought about, and not only did he say he would do it, but that he would do it in Modena, the land of motors. A lot of people laughed at him, but I didn’t. Each day I watched as he took a step closer to making his dream come true. I always  believed in him,” said fondly Horacio’s life-long friend Hugo Racca.

 

A creative atelier where hands and thoughts are inseparable; where Art and Science meld together, striving to achieve a unique beauty that is reflected in people and the way they work.

I joined Pagani in 2011, a few months after I graduated. I thought I knew it all, but in actual fact I started learning right away. This is where I realized that a designer must not only master lines, but have the materials that will give them their function and make them tactile,” Designer and Project Leader Mattia Gessi reports. “Combining design with materials is like combining Art with Science; essential for addressing beauty. When we started working on Utopia, we allowed this principle to guide us, and now, after spending so many years talking about Utopia and the idea of Utopia  as if it were a person, every time I go down to the production area and see a car, I am as amazed as a little child. When I started working in Pagani I never imagined my work could be so amazing”.

 

At Pagani, beauty meets and resolves the great complications of mechanics, style becomes an aesthetic philosophy, and the inspirations of people who want a Pagani automobile become unique creative processes.

Ten years have gone by, and I still remember my first conversation with Horacio as if it were yesterday. He talked about himself, his story, what he had done and what he wanted to do. One thing was particularly easy to understand: his passion for creating, for inventing,“ says Lorenzo Kerkoc, Special Projects Manager. “A contagious passion I couldn’t do without today, myself. Every special project I oversee responds to the desires of a single customer, which I have to interpret and make concrete. The great complication lies in finding the perfect balance between their wishes, practicality and beauty.

 

For Pagani, beauty is the performance of an automobile, safety and the enjoyment of driving, and it’s all the result of ongoing research and a natural propensity for innovation.

I work on the mechanical part, designing frames and suspensions. Many people might think of this as an anonymous sort of job, but in 25 years working in mechanical design with Pagani, I’ve experimented with materials and procedures, and with human relationships, both with the the team as well as Horacio himself,” reports Senior Mechanical Designer Germano Franzese. “I’ve learned to listen to people and to pay attention to little details that nobody may ever actually see. Hidden details testifying to our philosophy of beauty.”

 

Along with beauty, innovation is another great source of inspiration, experienced every day in Pagani. The future comes here first, thanks to research into composite materials, technologies allowing the company to work with alloys and aluminum making hypercar components machined from a solid block and advanced electronics that are the sensible mind allowing people to drive with their hearts.

 

Francesco Perini, Head of Pagani’s Technical Department, is surrounded by innovation, but what really interests him is philosophy. “I saw a path, a way of approaching things in which I could find myself comfortable with. When someone new comes to work with us, above all, I tell them about all our values , and how they reverberate throughout the automobiles and the intellectual process we conduct every day. Here, the designer embraces a philosophy, not just a method. Designers and engineers don’t just work behind a screen: they need to understand the results of their work with their hands, handling it, realizing what its effect will be on the person who assembles it and the one who uses it. Now, more than ever, Art and Science need to restore the value of hand craftsmanship, lost for too long.

 

Mary Malandrino has been working with the company since 2003 and has been Human Resources Manager for ten years, so she knows how much of a difference people can make. “Know-how is essential, but when I have a job candidate in front of me, I also try to glimpse what kind of a person they might be. Sensibility, passion, the ability to feel empathy with your surroundings are equally essential qualities for living with us. We choose people who, with their whole complex universe of skills, needs and sensibilities, are the key to what we do. However, we also need to be chosen, and this is fundamental. Only in this way can we feel like an important part of a reality in which everyone is important for what they do, and how they do it. 

I was very young when I joined Pagani, but I already had work experience, and wasn’t looking for just any job. I was looking for a place where I would feel fulfilled, and realize my potential. As soon as I joined the company, I felt that I was in a different world. I felt welcome, as if I was part of a family. I haven’t changed my mind over the past 20 years working with Pagani”.

 

For Pagani, customers are first and foremost people.

With constantly growing demand in Europe, North America and Asia, buying a Pagani means above all courting a desire, because like attention to detail, customer care also is approached in an artisanal way in Pagani.

Alberto Giovanelli (Asia-Pacific Managing Director) came to the company in 2006, at the age of 26. He began as an intern, but only two months later he found himself travelling the world with Horacio. For 11 years, he spent more time with Horacio than with his own family. “Our point of differentiation in a highly competitive market is our ability to make custom-designed automobiles. All the time, even when – as in the case of a customer in Singapore – they ask us to change the livery of a Zonda and make it the same pink as Elvis Presley’s car.  Or as in the case of Lewis Hamilton, who wanted a Zonda in the same shade of purple as the first go-kart he had as a kid. The secret to competing in this market is always being able to have an innovative vision. The kind of relationship we have with our customers is innovation, just like it’s innovation to design a Zonda with a right-hand drive, a major competitive edge. This ability to anticipate our customers’ needs and also to listen to them allows us to develop a great relationship with our customers which often becomes a true friendship, extending to the whole family.”

 

This is Pagani style, the same all over the world.

From Miami, where his office moved in 2019, Michael Staskin (CEO of Pagani America) serves the company’s most important market: “Our customers are highly knowledgeable people, familiar with the history of Pagani and Horacio’s story. They know that, in addition to being high performance automobiles, our cars, with all of the attention to detail, are works of art. This is a value they truly recognize and appreciate . What we, as the US team, are able to add to the equation  is the added value of our attention. We all become a family in some way, and not just during the time between order placement and delivery, but afterwards as well. We are fortunate to spend time with our customers multiple times a year, including at our rallies, where they love when we choose roads with lots of curves so they can amplify the emotions of their driving experience.   They often travel across the world – with their cars – to participate because it is a time when they can stay with like minded people who are part of the extended Pagani family.”

 

Pagani sees time as a vital element of desire.

Waiting for a car is an essential part of  Pagani itself; during the wait, the customer not only imagines the day when the car will arrive, but imagines the vehicle itself, customizing it together with the designers and technicians who work with them day by day. It’s a courtship of emotions and suggestions, such as seeing a detail where others don’t see it, or a color that others cannot perceive, creating a truly unique, unrepeatable vehicle.

Not just customer attention but, also in this case, a philosophy based on inspirations and desires.

 

It couldn’t be otherwise, and the reason is, itself, a detail.

All Horacio Pagani’s projects are identified by a code.

Simple. Essential. Recurrent.

The consonant is always the same, followed by a changing number.

Or maybe it would be more accurate to describe it as a number evolving around a reference point that never changes.

C8, for example, is the code for the design of the Zonda, whereas C9 is the code for the Huayra and C10 is that of the  Utopia.

C, as in Cristina Elizabeth Perez. Cristina was only 19 when she married Horacio. She shared everything with him. The move to Italy, the search for a job, holding up her dreams to the light, all the work that had to be done in the company, dreams coming true, the company that has grown and that today is preparing for the future, their children following in their father’s footsteps.

The third letter in the alphabet is Horacio’s inspiration, the capital letter of his life.

The codes are not just cars,” says Cristina, “but dreams that gradually take shape, and just as no two dreams are the same, no two Paganis are the same. Every one is different, with a little detail that makes it unique. We work with beauty, and to do this we need to do our best every day, to improve and exceed ourselves. Only in this way can we aspire to produce not only apparent beauty, but unseen beauty, the kind that moves the great complications from inside, making our automobiles so desirable and exclusive.”

 

Improving, always, every day.

Pagani has no room for words like success or perfection, because success and perfection mean ongoing, dynamic research, movement of the mind and of the hands that reflect it.

Carlo Alberto Roma (R&D Composite Trimming Supervisor) is in charge of composite production. He has always done this. He was employee no. 8, joining Pagani in 1998, and he has built all his certainties on this rock. His, and the company’s. “We’re always on the lookout for little details. We’re never entirely happy with the results. None of our automobiles is just like another. We’re craftspeople,” he proudly claims; “we try and try again, and we’re not afraid to spend time on it.”

 

Ongoing improvement is more than just a philosophy for Pagani: the company invested 14 million euros, representing 11% of its turnover, on 69,400 hours of research and development in 2022.

I hadn’t yet turned 18 when I joined Pagani,” says Roberto Malmusi (R&D Composite Layup Supervisor). I started working with carbon fiber skins, and I still do this. We have always invested heavily  in composite materials.

We don’t judge cars on the basis of a simple performance factor such as speed. Of course Pagani cars are fast. But the challenge we face is to make them perfectly safe and comfortable to drive as well. Anybody should be able to drive a Pagani, normal people, not just professional drivers. Research into the quality of composite materials is essential for this purpose; a lightweight, strong, maneuverable car is a safe, comfortable car. We see ongoing improvement not just as a company procedure, but as a mindset that none of us ever leaves behind.”

  

Striving for beauty demands constant motion.

Pagani Arte is a new creative atelier expanding on the idea of beauty cultivated by Horacio. Not just hypercars, but interior design for airplanes, helicopters, yachts and residences, all in pursuit of beauty in form, style, materials and emotional equilibrium.

With Pagani Arte, the search for beauty becomes an exclusive, reserved identity, the emotional quintessence of luxury, something never seen before but long awaited.

 

Origins and the future, tradition and innovation, Art and Science.

Binary, indivisible, twin relationships.

“Questioning our certainties, cultivating doubt about what we consider already acquired. Especially about what we think we can do well. This is how we work; it’s always been this way, and it won’t change,” says Horacio Pagani. “Putting yourself on the line means listening, considering, questioning your choices and being humble so as to change your perspective. This is how you become an example, and this is how people grow, mature, acquire and pass on their knowledge. Only if every one of us is curious and passionate about beauty can we continue striving to achieve it; if you live a quality life, it is only natural to produce quality. Passion and discipline are the company’s key values, making it a natural leader. We want to be leaders not because of what we have done so far, but because of what we still want to do, because of the horizons we push a little further forward every day. This horizon will allow us to continue making automobiles that are beautiful, innovative, safe, comfortable and on a human scale. When you climb aboard a Pagani, you are not just a customer, but a person, and you must feel at home in our car. A person who, in what they see and feel in that car, the steering wheel, knobs and upholstery, must recognize themselves and their lives, who they are and who they want to be. It was a challenge 25 years ago, and continues to be a challenge today, for tomorrow. But would we be human, if we didn’t have any challenges to work on? With our 25 years behind us,  we bring Utopia to the road. Our own Utopia, and we couldn’t think of a better way of ushering in the next 25 years.”

PAGANI AUTOMOBILI AT THE ICE 2023: IN THE ELEGANT SETTING OF ST MORITZ WITH THE PAGANI OFFICINA PROGRAMS AND PAGANI GRANDI COMPLICAZIONI

 

  • THE ICE St. Moritz is the first event of 2023, the year that marks the 25th anniversary of the company based in San Cesario sul Panaro
  • In the sophisticated atmosphere of the Swiss Alps, Pagani Officina  will showcase  two iconic hypercars, a Zonda C12 Chassis 001 and a Zonda F coupè, one of 25 in the world
  • A unique model by Pagani Grandi Complicazioni will make a special appearance

 

 

 

San Cesario sul Panaro, February 16, 2023 – The first event of 2023 brings Pagani hypercar enthusiasts to St. Moritz, in the heart of the Engadine, where THE ICE takes place on 24 and 25 February. This special Concours of Elegance sees the most beautiful cars in the world ready to show themselves to an audience of connoisseurs and face the surface of the frozen lake.
This year marks an important moment for Pagani Automobili: it’s the first of a long series of events that will define 2023, the 25-year anniversary of the company, which was founded in 1998.

 

PAGANI OFFICINA
The event in St. Moritz is an excellent showcase to unveil Pagani Officina to a select public. It’s a special series of programmes which has been created to ensure that every car purchased can always be maintained in the best possible condition and can be refurbished and customised, even several years after purchase, to suit the customer’s preferences and wishes. It features three special programs designed to suit any requirements: Puro, Rinascimento, and Unico. 

 

Puro is the Certification of Authenticity and Warranty Extension programme, which preserves and protects the essence of the vehicle through the work of highly specialised and certified mechanics. With over 400 checks, it ensures an in-depth analysis of the condition and authenticity of the vehicle components and, on completion of the work, the client receives a “Puro Book” produced at the Pagani headquarters: a sort of diary that documents the vehicle’s history, details the checks run on the car and holds the authenticity certificate signed by Horacio Pagani. A prestigious leather-bound volume which will stay with the car over its lifetime, offering an authentication and increasing its value. 

Pagani Rinascimento is a restoration programme designed to help keep Pagani vehicles in perfect condition over time and restore them to their original glory. Thanks to the dedicated handiwork of the specialist artisans who work in this section of the Pagani atelier which is exclusively dedicated to the programme, every detail is treated with the utmost precision, using original drawings and materials. A thorough service, involving mechanical parts, systems, interiors, and all worn parts, restoring the vehicle’s appearance and function to mint condition. Embodying the Puro and Rinascimento programmes is the Zonda C12. In 1999 Horacio Pagani presented his first creation at the Geneva Motor Show. The aesthetics of the lines and the technology of the advanced composite materials used in the construction of the chassis and bodywork, the application of Formula 1 technologies and the prestigious Mercedes-Benz V12 engine shaped an extraordinary hypercar, with the highest dynamic and mechanical qualities, in which every single component is the result of an accurate aesthetic and functional study. The car’s cockpit was already the subject of 13 patents at the time of submission and the use of composite materials in such an innovative project has made the Zonda one of the safest cars in the world. 

 

Pagani Unico is designed for Pagani customers who dream of updating and customising their hypercar to the highest level, making it “unique”, from mechanics to bodywork to aesthetics. Customers can take advantage of the technological research and continuous innovation at the heart of Pagani Automobili’s business to request changes that allow the company to express its craftsmanship and ability to propose exclusive solutions.

 

Ready to attract the attention of enthusiasts and connoisseurs, in St. Moritz the elegant Huayra Codalunga will be the “special guest”. It was created within the Pagani Automobili department dedicated to special projects, to those works so technologically complicated that only a few examples of them can be built, just like in the world of haute horlogerie. This sector also inspired the new department’s name: “Grandi Complicazioni”. From here comes the ultra-limited series of only five hypercars equipped with technological solutions so unique and elaborate to produce, that only a few master craftsmen can bring them to fruition.

THE NEW 2023 CALENDAR - With the Pagani Utopia, the tribute to a special year, the 25th anniversary of the company

  • The unreleased photos of the Pagani Utopia taken at the Museum of Science and Technology in Milan show off the new Pagani Calendar
  • A tribute to both the new Hypercar that was launched last September and the company’s first 25 years
  • Together, included with the wall calendar, will be the brochure for the Pagani Utopia with exclusive photos of Leonardo da Vinci’s drawings
  • The Calendar is on sale only online at paganistore.com and in the Atelier in San Cesario sul Panaro   

 

 

San Cesario sul Panaro, 1 December 2022 – 2023 will be the year of the Utopia, and the year of a remarkable milestone: the company founded by Horacio Pagani in 1998 is preparing to celebrate its quarter century. It’s an important date that, as such, should be celebrated with an equally exclusive calendar.

 

The star of this year’s story will be six images of the new Pagani Utopia, immortalized in the striking setting of the Sala del Cenacolo inside the Museum of Science and Technology in Milan, where the new hypercar was presented last September, providing the inspiration for the temporary exhibition entitled “The Shape of Air. From Leonardo to Pagani Utopia”.

Flanked by six original drawings by Leonardo da Vinci – a special loan from the Veneranda Biblioteca Ambrosiana – the Utopia represents the synthesis of that winning idea of “art and science” that has always formed the basis of Horacio Pagani’s creations and that is expressed in the new hypercar. To reinforce this combination and to give even greater strength to the aesthetic aspects of the car and its special setting, six unreleased images that immortalize precious details of the Utopia are ready to reflect the artistic context of the room, mirroring the “art in art”, in an ongoing exchange between the lines and shapes of the car with the frescoes of the room and the lines of the Leonardo drawings.

 

For this special year, the Calendar will be sold together with the brochure for the Pagani Utopia that contains reproductions of the six works of Leonardo printed on vellum. These are placed transparently on the photos to recreate the spectacular atmosphere of the Sala del Cenacolo where the drawings flanked the car.

 

The Calendar will be available exclusively online on paganistore.com and at the Atelier in San Cesario sul Panaro.

PAGANI AUTOMOBILI ATTENDS CHANTILLY ARTS & ELEGANCE WITH PAGANI OFFICINA, A SERIES OF PROGRAMMES AND SERVICES DESIGNED TO ENHANCE THE VALUE OF HYPERCARS OVER TIME

 

  • On 24 and 25 September at Chantilly 2022, Pagani Officina will introduce three special programmes for our customers: Puro, Rinascimento, and Unico
  • Puro is the certification program that guarantees authenticity and enhances the value of Pagani cars over time
  • Rinascimento is dedicated to preserving cars, protecting and restoring them to their original glory, as if they had just
    left the atelier
  • Unico is for customers who know no boundaries when it comes to make their hypercars more personal, whether aesthetically or mechanically
  • For each of these programmes, an iconic vehicle will be on display: Zonda S, Zonda F Roadster, and Huayra Coupé

 

 

 

San Cesario sul Panaro, 22 September 2022 – After a two-year break due to the pandemic, on 24 and 25 September France will once again be welcoming visitors to the “Chantilly Arts & Elegance Richard Mille”, a concours d’élegance and a pop-up museum featuring the finest cars in the world, both modern and vintage.

Pagani Automobili has chosen this prestigious international event to unveil Pagani Officina to the public, a special division of the company which has been created to ensure that every car purchased can always be maintained in the best possible condition and can be refreshed and customised, even several years after purchase, to suit the customer’s preferences and wishes.

Pagani Officina features three special programs designed to suit any requirements: Puro, Rinascimento, and Unico.

 

 

Pagani Puro 

“Puro” is a word which is synonymous with integrity, authenticity, and perfection. A word which expresses the very essence of Pagani vehicles. This is why it was chosen as the name for the Certification of Authenticity and Warranty Extension programme, which preserves and protects the essence of the vehicle through the work of highly specialized and certified mechanics. The certification, which involves more than 400 checks, provides an in-depth analysis of the vehicle’s condition and the authenticity of its components; the warranty extension offers complete protection to safeguard the car’s value, with ongoing scheduled maintenance offering the customer the luxury of being able to continue to drive a vehicle in perfect condition.

This is available for every Pagani car, and can be carried out at the headquarter, in San Cesario Sul Panaro, and in at Official Dealer sites, where only Pagani-certified mechanics work: a team of highly experienced and skilled professionals working in close contact with the head of the Puro programme, sharing the result of analysis and data. On the completion of the work, the client will receive the “Puro Book” produced at the Pagani headquarters: like a diary documenting the vehicle’s history. It details the checks run on the car and contains the certificate of authenticity signed by Horacio Pagani. A prestigious leather-bound volume which will stay with the car over its lifetime, offering the authentication and increasing its value.

The embodiment of the Puro programme in Chantilly will be the Zonda Roadster F, the “clubsport” par excellence, the heir to the coupé version.

 

Pagani Rinascimento

Pagani Rinascimento is a restoration programme designed to restore every Pagani vehicle to their original glory. Thanks to the dedicated handiwork of the specialist artisans who work in this section of the Pagani atelier, which is exclusively dedicated to the programme, every detail is treated with the utmost precision, using original drawings and materials. A thorough service, involving mechanical parts, body, interiors, and all worn parts, restoring the vehicle’s appearance and function to mint condition. Not a single nut or bolt is overlooked in this restoration work: every component, however small, is dealt with to restore that perfect combination of art and technology, and to reawaken all the excitement and the unique experience of beauty, like a tailor-made outfit.

Representing the values of Pagani Rinascimento, better than any words could, in Chantilly will be the Zonda S, with its aggressive, powerful lines combined with an unexpected level of interior comfort.

 

 

Pagani Unico

Pagani Automobili is famous in the automotive sector for offering one of the most immersive customisation experiences for its customers, providing countless possibilities to personalize a vehicle.

With the Unico programme, created a few years ago, Pagani wanted to offer the same experience to customers who buy a used Huayra or Zonda. With this programme, an existing chassis can be completely customized, to create something unique and very personal for the new owner.

This programme has proven to be a valuable investment, since the value of updated cars increases significantly, reaching similar prices to those for unique models.

As with the Rinascimento programme, a dedicated team will analyze and inspect every single component, updating it according to the new configuration defined by the client and the Pagani Design team. Whereas the Rinascimento programme is aimed at ensuring the vehicle remains as faithful as possible to the original specifications, the Unico programme allows customers to improve and personalize their car’s design and technical characteristics.

The rebuilding process is conducted in accordance with the rigorous Pagani Automobili quality standards, ensuring that the update is fully reversible, allowing the car to be restored to the original specifications.

 

Demonstrating this programme, a Huayra Coupé 760 VR will be on display in Chantilly.

 

“Our cars are like tailor-made outfits, made to suit the wishes of our customers” explained Horacio Pagani, “this is why we do not just build hypercars, we also devote our expertise and staff to looking after them and increasing their value over time. These were our goals when we created Pagani Officina, offering our customers the thrill of a car which is always in just the same condition as it was the day it left the atelier, or giving them the freedom to adapt their car over time, so that it always suits them. Just like a suit or a dress”.

Pagani Utopia unveiled at the National Science & Technology Museum in Milan surrounded by original drawings by Leonardo da Vinci

  • World premiere of Pagani’s new Hypercar in the splendid setting of the Museum’s Sala del Cenacolo 
  • Six original drawings by Leonardo da Vinci, loaned on an exceptional basis by the Biblioteca Ambrosiana, provide the backdrop for the Pagani Utopia
  • For the unveiling, a special exhibition “The shape of air: from Leonardo to Pagani Utopia” scientifically curated by Pietro C. Marani, author of numerous publications on the artist. A dual exploration of the Italian polymath’s studies on air and the genesis of the Pagani Utopia
  • A common element: the close connection between Art and Science, the Leonardian principle that inspires the philosophy of Horacio Pagani, Pagani Automobili Founder & Chief Designer

 

 

Milan, 13 September 2022 Italy’s National Science & Technology Museum in central Milan is the venue for the official debut of the new Pagani Hypercar, the vehicle that will write the third chapter in the brand’s history, with the title: Pagani Utopia. In the splendid setting of the Sala del Cenacolo refectory hall, surrounded by original drawings by Leonardo da Vinci, the Modena-based atelier’s latest creation designed by Horacio Pagani embodies a visionary utopian idea of motoring, an unconventional concept romantically detached from the contemporary meaning of automobile. And it does so in the purest Pagani spirit, where the guiding element underpinning the company’s cars has always been Leonardo’s principle of Art and Science.

 

No better location could have been chosen to present the new arrival: Milan, the cosmopolitan city that was home to the artist, and the Museum that houses the Leonardo Galleries, the world’s largest permanent exhibition on Leonardo da Vinci – engineer, humanist and scholar of nature.

 

At the entrance to the Museum, the visitor is welcomed by a phrase with a profound significance: Scienza è Cultura – Science is Culture. The expression represents the very essence of the Museum as a place dedicated to Leonardo da Vinci and, like the artist himself, condenses the interrelations between different but complementary branches of knowledge, which, together, help us understand reality. This dialogue between art, science and technology is a distinguishing feature of the Museum’s identity. Furthermore, the discovery and invention that never cease to surprise us are combined with the fundamental ability to design and build, thus giving concrete value to human ingenuity,” says Fiorenzo Galli, General Manager of the National Science & Technology Museum.

 

Enhancing the ties between the design of Pagani Hypercars and Leonardo da Vinci is an exceptional loan from the Biblioteca Ambrosiana, which, for the presentation of the new car, has granted permission for six original drawings of Leonardo’s studies on air, to leave its vaults on a temporary basis for the exhibition “The shape of air: from Leonardo to Pagani Utopia”. 

 

Curated by Pagani Automobili and Pietro C. Marani, a leading expert on Leonardo da Vinci and author of numerous books about the Tuscan artist, the exhibition offers visitors the opportunity for dual exploration. On one hand, the astonishing genius of a man with the ability – six centuries ago – to represent even the invisible, displayed in a collection of leaves from the Codex Atlanticus on the study of air and its applications; on the other, the thinking that led designer Horacio Pagani and his team to conceive the Utopia project.  A binary vision of form and function.

 

“The presentation of our new car in the extraordinary setting of the National Science & Technology Museum in Milan has a special significance,” says Horacio Pagani. “Leonardo was very creative here in Milan, where he enjoyed a wonderful period. He has been a huge influence in my life since I was a boy, he is the inspiration for the fundamental concepts of Art and Science that guide our work. So to be in the museum that bears his name and to have his original drawings next to our car is a truly indescribable emotion for me.”

 

Visitors will be able to trace the genesis of the Pagani Utopia project on a series of special panels: from the sources of inspiration to the first sketches of the car, the colour palette and the materials used, condensed in a three-dimensional moodboard. The creative route reaches its culmination in the Sala del Cenacolo for a close-up look at the new Pagani Hypercar. From the outside, a body with soft, elegant lines built in hi-tech composite materials; inside, the powerful heart of the Pagani V12 engine.

 

 

Providing the ideal frame for the new Pagani Utopia are the six original Da Vinci drawings selected by Marani. Six works that highlight how the artist was able to represent the invisible, to depict “the existence of nothingness”, that infinite interstitial extension that surrounds all bodies, in contact with the air. Together with water, air is one of the four elements (including earth and fire) that most intrigued Leonardo, whose movements and manifestations he strove to portray.

 

“A thread links Leonardo’s observations and his insights into aerodynamics with the creations of Horacio Pagani,” comments Pietro C. Marani. “It’s as if the designer had finally given concrete shape to what Leonardo simply intuited about the way the air ‘forges’ and sculpts forms, which you can see, for example, in the two drawings of fortresses in the exhibition.” 

 

The exhibition is enhanced with a section entitled “Story of a Dream”, the adventure of the young Horacio Pagani who came to Modena from Argentina with an ambition: to create the most beautiful cars in the world. Guests will be able to judge for themselves whether that dream came true: in the cloisters, together with the new Pagani Utopia, two historic models will be on display – the Zonda C12 (1999) and the Huayra Coupé (2011) – to tell the story of a brand that will soon be celebrating its 25th anniversary.

 

The musical accompaniment to the exhibition is an interesting symphonic work written by the Milan Conservatory starting from the compositions for piano of the young Horacio Pagani, which is now the soundtrack of the new Pagani Utopia.

The city of Milan is hosting the world premiere of a brand new Hypercar, the Pagani Utopia. 

 

A presentation accompanied by music and art.

 

The principle of Art and Science has always underpinned Pagani Automobili’s creations and is the thread linking designer Horacio Pagani to Leonardo da Vinci. It lies at the heart of the temporary exhibition opening tomorrow at which the new Hypercar will be displayed together with six original drawings by the eclectic artist and unparalleled genius.

 

The musical background will be a composition played by the Symphony Orchestra of the Milan Conservatory, inspired by piano pieces composed by a young Horacio Pagani.

Starting Friday, August 19th, from 10 am to 4 pm, the year of the “R” will be celebrated at The Quail, a Motorsports Gathering, with a stunning collection of Pagani R vehicles: a line-up of timeless, one-of-a-kind cars that live at the intersection of Art & Science – Leonardo da Vinci’s principle that inspires the philosophy of Horacio Pagani – together with Passion and Performance.

On Sunday, August 21st, a special event will be held for Pagani clients from 9:30 am – 3 pm.  They will have dedicated track time at the iconic Laguna Seca Raceway: a fully immersive experience on one of the world’s most prestigious racetracks, where they will be able to unleash the horsepower of their Pagani V12 engines. Invited guests will be hosted in a totally new hospitality area dedicated exclusively to Pagani. There will be two separate track sessions from 11:30 am – 12:30 pm and from 12:40 pm-1:50 pm. 

 

Fans will be able to see more than 20 Paganis in the Paddock and more than 10 Paganis, including the Huayra R and the Zonda Revolución, will be on track ready to show the public just what they can do in their natural environment.

Horacio Pagani awarded the coveted Compasso d’Oro prize for the Huayra Roadster BC project

  • The Pagani Automobili founder received the award in the “Design for mobility” category
  • The winning Huayra Roadster BC project was chosen from 19 entrants

 

San Cesario Sul Panaro, 20 June 2022Horacio Pagani, Founder & Chief Designer of Pagani Automobili, has won the XXVII Compasso d’Oro award of the ADI – Associazione per il Disegno Industriale – in the “Design for mobility” category. The prize, which was given to the designer for the Huayra Roadster BC project and is the San Cesario-based atelier’s first Compasso d’Oro, was assigned by an international jury, who selected the 20 best objects in the various categories.

 

Established in 1954, the ADI Premio Compasso d’Oro — Golden Compass Award — is the world’s oldest and most distinguished design award, based on an idea by Gio Ponti to highlight the value and quality of products designed in Italy.

 

The award presentation ceremony was held on 20 June at the ADI Design Museum in Milan which will host an exhibition of all the products entered for the 2022 award, from 21 June to 11 September. As a result, the Huayra Roadster BC is now part of the ADI Compasso d’Oro Collection.

Horacio Pagani’s approach and style distinguished themselves in the “Design for mobility” category thanks to the work on the Huayra Roadster BC project, described by Horacio Pagani as “an extreme inspiration drawn from beauty and scientific research in all its forms”. Developed in 2019, the Roadster BC is the outcome of meticulous work on the vehicle aesthetics and obsessive attention to details, to create a unique Pagani automobile that would deliver an incomparable driving experience. The result is an audacious, exuberant car, handcrafted in line with Leonardo da Vinci’s principles of Art and Science, fundamental elements that form the basis of the Pagani Automobili creative philosophy.

 

For me it is an honour to be recognised as one of the best designers and an excellence of Italian design by the ADI jury,” Horacio Pagani commented, “but I want to stress that this award must be shared with the Pagani design and engineering team that has worked by my side ever since this wonderful adventure began. Without their frank and constant feedback, the passion they put into their work every day, none of this would be possible.”

PAGANI AUTOMOBILI AT THE GOODWOOD FESTIVAL OF SPEED 2022 WITH THE NEW PAGANI HUAYRA CODALUNGA, DESIGNED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH CUSTOMERS

 

  • The public unveiling of the Huayra Codalunga, a limited series of just 5 vehicles, the result of a joint vision from the customer and the designer;  
  • The Huayra R and the Huayra Codalunga will be taking on the legendary hill climb 
  • Among the new releases is the Huayra BC fitted with the special “Tempesta BC” upgrade  
  • Also on display at the event, which runs from 23 to 26 June, are the Zonda Revolucion and the Zonda Revo Barchetta

 

 

San Cesario Sul Panaro, 20 June 2022 – From 23 to 26 June, Pagani Automobili returns to the Goodwood Festival of Speed, one of the most famous and eagerly-awaited events celebrating motorsport and car culture, held in West Sussex and attracting thousands of fans who come to see an array of two- and four-wheeled vehicles ready to take on the historic hill climb.

 

This year, Pagani Automobili has chosen the English countryside as the venue for the official public unveiling of the Huayra Codalunga, the new union of design and technology created in the Atelier in San Cesario Sul Panaro: one of the five models in this extremely limited series will be on display in the Supercar Paddock.

 

A bespoke project requested by a Pagani customer and created in partnership with the Pagani Grandi Complicazioni (PGC) special projects division, where there are almost infinite opportunities to design and customise a car. Each hypercar is the culmination of a long and detailed journey, working with the client to interpret their preferences and desires. The collective ambition and effort seek to create a work of art for the client that is befitting of the Pagani name. A cross-functional team has supported the project meticulously from creation through design and development, to help us realize our clients’ vision.

 

The simple linear style of the Huayra Coupé was used as the starting point, making it longer and smoother, as if it had been caressed and molded by the wind, to design lines that were even more elegant than the Coupé. We drew inspiration from the long tails of the 1960s cars that raced at Le Mans, which had very clean lines. The Huayra Codalunga comprises very few essential elements.

By working to “remove rather than add”, together with the use of state-of-the-art advanced composite material systems, the Codalunga achieves the incredible dry weight of just 1,280 kg. The rear engine cover, which has a footprint of more than 3.7 m2, and is 360 mm longer than the one of the Huayra Coupé, conceals a mechanical marvel: the Pagani V12, which, on this series, is capable of developing 829 HP (618 kW) with 1,100 Nm of torque. The trim on this series is particularly noteworthy, with details that pay homage to both automotive passion and the artisan handicraft that is typical of Motor Valley.

 

Other new releases on display at Goodwood include the Huayra BC Coupé, fitted with the “Tempesta” package which includes a series of improvements and solutions aimed at unleashing the pure racing pedigree of the car, including: the front splitter with dedicated air inlet, the rear spoiler with integrated central fin, the six-pipe exhaust system and the suspension system. The upgrade also includes significant improvements to the powertrain which benefits from a major increase in power output to achieve 827 HP (618 kW) and 1,100 Nm of torque, as well as improvements to comfort levels, with the innovative Soft driving mode, and to the appearance with new internal and external configuration options. 

 

Rounding off the Pagani Automobili presence at the show are the legendary Zonda Revolucion and the brand new Zonda Revo Barchetta, a one-off designed by Horacio Pagani to thrill and make people dream from the moment they first set eyes on it. The name tells us that, behind the beauty and elegance inspired by the road-legal Zonda HP Barchetta, there is a rebellious spirit and a powerhouse of performance to match the Zonda Revolucion. The naturally aspirated V12 Mercedes-AMG engine delivers up to 789 HP (588 kW) and 750 Nm of torque. As the revs increase, the ceramic-coated titanium exhaust emits a thrilling roar. The ambitious project to combine two of the brand’s most iconic cars required a considerable effort from the Pagani team, particularly when it came to developing a dedicated frame for this model’s cockpit, applying the most advanced composite materials systems. Despite the racing spirit, nothing is left to chance on the car, and meticulous attention is paid to even the smallest detail, as is the case with the blue anodized aluminium components milled from a single block using CNC technology. The livery, which took two years to finalise, is inspired by one of the Can-Am-style aluminium models on display in the Horacio Pagani Museum, created in the 1960s by Horacio himself. More than just a car, the Revo Barchetta is a tribute to automotive passion.

 

The Huayra R, the model launched last year and currently in production, and the brand-new Huayra Codalunga will take on the famous hill climb.
