We could talk about Pagani and their cars for months and we still wouldn't be able to say everything we want because every single car they produced was masterpiece. I know that they have only two models but every model has several special editions and all of them looks astonishing. Just look at Zonda and its special edition Cinque, Tricolore and Zonda R.
Really,I can't think of any car they produced that doesn't look as porn on wheels. Last car they gave us is Pagani Huayra and personally, for me, they did hell of a job. I can't find not a single piece on this car that's bad looking or stupid looking or out of "looks over performance" function. Attention to details goes that far that you can have a major crash and die because you will go 200 MPH and you will get distracted and look at dashboard or gadgets or something else.
Just look at that interior. It's like a whole another level in design division in comparison to other car manufacturers. Although I'm not such huge fan of Pagani because of several reasons (first of all, I will never be able to buy one, second of all, if I'm ever going to be able to buy it I would live in fear of driving it because I will always think that someone will crash it and last reason, I would probably die in my first drive because I will get distracted by details in the car while going 200 MPH), I can't say that I wouldn't like to own one.
Magical place where this car is producing is in Modena, Italy. It was introduced in Geneva Auto Salon in 2011 and it immediately draw huge attention on itself.
The main reason for that, besides magical looks, are performances of the car. It uses 6.0 l twin-turbo V12 engine built by AMG and it develops 720 HP and 1100 Nm of torque. It is capable of doing 0-60 MPH (0-100 KMH) in just 2.8 seconds and top speed of 238 MPH (283 KMH).
The engine is basically engine that Mercedes uses in AMG models but with few differences. It's hand built, it has reduced turbo lag, improved response, it uses smaller turbochargers, different intercooler configuration and re-programmed ECU settings.
Interesting fact is that Huayra uses dry sump lubrication that has several key benefits. It's guarantees that oil will flow even when the car is subjected to extreme lateral acceleration, preventing "oil surge" which allows the engine to operate more efficiently while the lack of an oil pan allows mounting the engine lower, lowering the center of gravity and improving handling.
It also uses water/oil heat exchanger which reduces engine warm up times on cold days and helps maintaining a staple temperature for refrigerants and lubricants.
Pagani made sure also that they don't heap up the engine bay with pipes and fittings. Even the engine bay had "looks over performance" function. To prevent that, the expansion tank is mounted directly on the engine. Intercooler is basically fitted on such way that it acts like expansion tank circuit at low temperatures.

It features upgraded version of standards Huayra 6.0 l V12 engine and it produces 739 HP and 1000 Nm of torque. The body is much lighter because of larger use of carbon fibers.

The design of cars reflects Horatio Pagani's visit with each unit's livery design resembling one of the dragons on the wall and it also has an aerodynamic fin on the rear, most likely to resemble a dragons tail.
