Interviewing a guy named Horacio Pagani, with Wouter's permission

[LeonOfTheDead]

Good morning everyone! .......Who is this guy?!

Wouter and Pieter may travel all around the world many times each year, but when it comes to find a small awesomeness-producing factory near Modena, you know you need some local help.
Hint: Horacio Pagani and his dream in carbon-fibre - Ultimatecarpage.com - Powered by knowledge, driven by passion

I had to step in and help in some way. Interviewing one of my personal gurus was probably a difficult task, but there is no glory without a bit of suffering

If you feel like this is the Italian point of view on the same subject, except I refuse to summarize so I had to break it in more parts. They were supposed to be three, and now they are four...

Wild is the Wind: an Interview with Horacio Pagani, Part 1

I'll post the rest of the story in the next days, advanced numerical analysis is presently my favorite time waster...

nice, and glad to see some visual proof of my presence there....

[LeonOfTheDead]

Another proof is that I got a free lunch that day

[thebrochureman]

Did you see the new Huayra.

Precisely. I just got a few at the time new details on the car, some additional info, which will be published in the second part.
On the other hand, no, I won't see the new Huayra next Tuesday, the economic crunch has imposed a tight budget restriction at our office... meaning I just need to save money for other more important stuff.
A postponed exam on the 3rd of March did the rest to spoil the party.

I assume I'll see thew Huayra at the next Modena Terra di Motori though, if not earlier at the factory.

Good morning? How arrogant of you to think that there is one time zone?

Glad to read your interview, Henk and Damian, and I'm glad that Leon was able to pull some strings!

Time has come for the second part:


Weaving a New Story in Carbo-Titanium: an Interview with Horacio Pagani, Part 2




This time we talk about some technical aspects of the new chassis technology developed for the Zonda Cinque and Huayra, carbo-titanium. Also some aspects of the new Huayra which make it so different from some of its competitors, and the reasoning behind them.



Once again, enjoy the reading and the pictures we took, I hope I've managed to transmit the passion and emotions Pagani is capable of inspire in my writings.

I don't know if that's a good reason to stop watching TG as I already did or if we are quite a few not watching it anymore, as I had to google it to know what it was...

[thebrochureman]

very nice pictures, Just one question. What is the name of the green Zonda in the pictures, i presume its a one of.

[LeonOfTheDead]

It's actually just the 5th Zonda Cinque, like the one in your avatar.

Oh thats a suprise. how come its green? I though they were all in the Cinque colours.

[LeonOfTheDead]

They aren't: coupe #3 is bright orange, #5 is green, Roadster #4 is bright yellow and #2 will be deep red. Also coupe #2 has an ordinary exhaust system and F seats.

I know I'm late to the party, but fantastic stuff, Damiano!

Does the Huayra have a three-pedaled sequential?
Also, does Mr. (Dr.?) Pagani have any plans to lend his expertise in composites to those who are trying to make them a part of more everyday cars?
