"Horatio Pagani founded his facility after leaving Lamborghini to produce the car he had dreamed of, and started sketching in the early 90's. Lots of the sketches are on the walls of his design studio; its remarkable how true to his original vision the Zonda is."
"couldn't take pictures in the actual production floor, but it was pretty incredible. They design absolutely everything (With the exception of the AMG nuclear powerplant) in house....they have their own carbon fiber pressure cooker, castings and everything. The build one car at a time, everyone working on the same car - totally the opposite of an assembly line. The cars are only made when an order is placed, and the car is completely customizeable...from the type of leather straps that hold the engine cover down, instrument layout and backlight, every material used in the carpeting, to the custom leather shoes and luggage that comes with the car. The attention to detail in the fit and finish, and the little bits of visual flair are what make this car so special. Horatio Pagani is a very pleasant, but passionate man; he was there, overseeing development of a new car, and rushing around to make sure the half-finished Zonda on the floor was perfect. Speaking of a new car, there was a frame and moulds in one of the corners, covered, but partially exposed...and definitely not a Zonda..."
