The whole shifter deal on something like the Huayra with 70 something parts is just excessive and frankly dumb, for something that used to essentially pressing 2 buttons. This is more akin to creating art work than actually making a car.
Comparing this to a P1, a TheFerrari, or a 918 Spyder, all of which are probably over 7 figure in cost. But where as those buys you technology or engineering, this buys you a lot of polished metal bits on something thats a bit pretty plain as far as being a "racing car" goes....
But that's what Pagani has always been about... blurring the boundaries of art and engineering. If you just want an amazing piece of engineering, you'd buy a Koenigsegg, or the cars you mentioned. The "art" side of Pagani is why you buy a Pagani.
