What an inspiring story of a young man with a vision that never gave up! Who would of guessed he is partly responsible for the design & build of the Lamborghini Countach. Now his dream brought him to create one of the most amazing Hypercars ever built. Very cool!
nice car+brian s
jella villagracia , maybe by my 3rd life I'll have enough money to buy one. LOL :-P
hehe have fan but you wish someday you buy like this car.+brian s..
Here is one thing that many people don't know about Horaccio Pagani. He designed the Zonda in the late 70's!!! I mean isn't that incredible?! That car still looks timeless today. I had my first Zonda moment when i was 20 years old. It was the one and only one in Australia and still is today. I saw the Zonda, C12 to be exact and in a sparkling yellow finish in Sydney near Oxford Street and my jaw just dropped. Still can not forget that moment until this day.That was back in 2008.. He is a true legend.
e36mmm , nice share bro
I like that he said these cars are unnecessary...very true but damn that huyuuyrrarraaaa is the best sounding turbo engine ever
I think he meant that it would be unnecessary to try convincing people to spend a lot of money on a Pagani because it would obviously be worth it.
No I think he meant it ......shut up kid
wow this guy is awesome. Love his story
He's a douche bag though. The radio doesn't work in the Zonda and he replied "just listen to the engine". Or you can fix the fucking radio in your million dollar car.
someusername121 Who in their right mind would listen to a radio in a Zonda, or any hypercar for that matter? I agree with Mr. Pagani 100%.
someusername121
You've got issues dude! Try doubling your Meds.
TonyTheTiger1516 When you pay 1M+ for a car, you expect everything to work whether you use it or not. Why do you think Rolex throws away any watches which have any flaw? "Don't worry about it you're only using it to tell the time!".
someusername121 its a bloody race car tho a radio doesnt even belong in it to begin with, and its not a luxury car like a rolls royce then id be pissed. As long as it goes around a track fast and looks pretty im happy. Plus everyone that owns a pagani most likely has multiple other cars to use as daily drivers.
For real, that was deeper than I expected. This guys got a good vision.
Bro tears falling out of my face right now.
That's a marvelous story.
2 brilliant innovations from this guy.. Carbon fiber construction and active aero handling.. We want more people like him to bring great ideas to such vehicles..
The Zonda, and the Huayra, are two of the most stunning cars I have ever seen.
You are correct, Modern on the outside yet classic on the inside. I like the interiors myself.
Wow, you got the essence why Pagani is so special, no BS PR talk, just a genuine Mastermind living his vision. Hats of to Horacio.
Most of today's supercars are just so synthetic, streamlined, with the exception of maybe Koenigsegg they are just a numbers game sadly (McL P1, La Ferrari, Porsche 918).
Well Porsche and McLaren, I understand, because they're widely known for their extreme precision, and I think that usually involves a lot of numbers.
This guy is a boss, not one person can deny that. Getting a job at Lamborghini at 20; moving to Italy with nothing to pursue that dream in the first place, wow. All I can hope for is that more people with this amount of determination make their way into this world, to do things like this man, and create something from nothing.
This man is the davinci of automobiles. The first time I saw a Zonda I had no words. 10 years later and they still amaze me.
"convince a client to spend lots of money on a car that's basically unnecessary" lol! you don't need it but you know you want it ;)
That was amazing. This guy is remarkable. First job at Lamborghini and still humble and visionary. awesome... simply awesome
Every time I listen to him, I'm sold on Zonda. Only problem, I don't have the money :(
well... that's a pretty big problem...
Terrific story and beautiful automobiles. This proves that vision has no age. Youth is what the future relies on. Do not listen to anyone else, chase your goals and believe in yourself. Perhaps you will become as successful as Mr. Pagani.
Or Mr. May! Tis a terrific story and thank you for posting it for us "readers"
There is a 30min interview from XCarFilms of Horacio Pagani. You should take a look at it in RUclips.
***** LINK PLEASE???
***** Thank you for the suggestion, it reaffirms what an automotive God Mr Pagani is. Starting with little more then the "fantasy of working hard", ambition and a friend with a garage. He has managed to make the most beautiful best performing cars ever made. Each car a collection of innumerable mechanical pieces of art all melded together into a fire belching , asphalt eating dream machine. well done Mr. Pagani . Also-A pox upon all who own one of these cars and don't drive it. They are made to be driven , you lucky Bastard.
The guy is right, the Zonda will never age. The C12 still looks as modern, and as striking as an Aventador and is 15 years old.
Respect to Mr. Pagani.
Everything starts with a Dream. And Pagani never gave up on his Dream. It goes to show people that even with very little or no money, anyone can achieve amazing things. You inspire us Pagani and may God bless you and your Dreams.
This man is an inspiration. I just love listening to people like him talk about the development and how everything came to be.
he just inspired me to begin my project
I have to say that this is probably the most captivated that I have been on a historical account of a vehicle manufacturer. His passion and love for the shapes and pieces that went into his car design just inspire me to want to go out and create something. His drive never went away and he has created some of the most beautiful and some of the fastest vehicles ever created. His collaboration with Mercedes and AMG have produced some of the best performing supercars ever created. I hope that he never loses his drive and ambition to continue to create these masterpieces because the world needs people of his caliber. I am, and always will be, a die hard car fanatic, and Paganis' just have a style and level of performance that will never be equalled. Thank you so much Motor Trend!
ITALIANS.. Cars ~ Pagani - Lamborghini - Ferrari - Maserati. Bikes ~ Ducati - Piaggio - Aprilia - Cagiva ....
There is definitely something about Italy, motors, art and history.
Don't forget about the Germans.
BMW,Audi,Porsche,Mercedes,Volkswagen
1st Italian Category is All Hypercars. German cars you mentioned are sports cars with the Porsche 918, Carrera GT and the Mercedes SLR being the only Hypercars.
TheDumb SelfDestruct
I think not all cars from Lamborghini - Ferrari - Maserati are hypercars..
Only for exmaple: Veneno , F40,F50, Enzo, La Ferrari, MC 12.
More german cars from the big manufacturers: BMW M1
Mercedes CLK GTR , Porsche 959, Porsche 911 GT1.

MotorTrend, you seem to be on very good terms with many CEOs of these car companies. It would be great to have a "Nostalgia" or "Motor History" series where you find stories like this about prominent figures in the automotive industry (using the nice connections you seem to have) and bring those stories to life. I am not fortunate enough to have a mechanic as a father (not that I don't appreciate what my father does as an Astrophysicist), so I would LOVE to hear more stories like this about how people's lives have been affected by the automotive world and the passion that they have for it. Specifically about events that took place when the automotive industry was in it's infancy. The time period we live in is very unique in that we have highly capable editors and video recording technology available, while people who lived full and amazing lives are just at the end of life's journey. I think it would be an excellent idea to capitalize upon this fortunate time by trying to interview as many great people with stories like this as you can before all that's left is people who have been around technology their whole lives. Not to say that the stories of younger people aren't interesting, but more that people at the end of their lives have clearly had many more opportunities for unique experiences and much more time to reflect on and understand the experiences that they have had.
^ what he said ! :P
Much feels
only problem with this viideo, trying to watch the vid and read the sub titles... not easy!!
What a honest CEO, you can just tell the passion he has for cars; more specifically exotic cars.
An incredible story, I had no idea.
They really nailed the design, ever since I first saw the Pagani Huayra I said to myself "Out of all the cars I have ever seen, this car looks like a fighter jet begging to fly." beautiful from head to toe, and totally unique. Maybe one day I'll be able to see one in person.
Hands down, Pagani has created the two most stunning and beautiful cars I have ever seen. The design and the craftsmanship are second to none.
So like...it's an american magazine(motor trend)...doing a feature on an italian guy(pagani)...who read a feature in an american magazine(readers digest)...about an italian guy(da vinci)...
Pagani is argentinian
BlackHellkite but he lives in italy. if a japanese born man moves to america he becomes a japanese american. its similar everywhere else you go in the world
BlackHellkite
No. He is son of italians immigrants (mother and father) and he living in Italy since over his half life. I think he is 100% italian ;)
BlackHellkite Around 60% of Argentinians are Italian I read.
+Pietro P but if you born in china and your father and mother are from england you're still going to be a chinese becouse you born on china, not your father's
Very enlightening. Everyone has heard journalists wax poetic about the sensation of the past Zonda, or Huayra, so it is excellent to hear what inspires Horacio to create these machines that percolate our senses with such magnitude.
great story and i loved the way he ended it lmaoo "convince the client to spend a lot of money on a car, that's basically unnecessary."
The last line is so awesome; we are "using this concept to try and create an automobile to generate enough emotions and client interest to convince the client to spend a lot of money on a car that's BASICALLY UNNECESSARY." Epic quote it its honesty. Something you would never EVER hear from an American manufacturer.
Anyone else prefer the zonda f to the huayra? I think it will be thought of as a sort of ferrari 250 moment in 50 years
Quest'uomo è un artista.
This man is an artist.
The attention to detail on the interior-and the exterior-but specifically the interior is absolutely stunning.
I luv dis guy....gr8 vision yet very humble. ........he himself said wen the othr cars came out his car wz gtn kinda outdated......who els wud say dat
wat?
Seriously, this was one of, if not the best Downshift episode I've ever seen. Truly amazing.
Good job Motor Trend!
That is the most interesting video I have seen in a long long time. It has changed forever the way I see Pagani cars, which previously I just saw as just plain expensive. More like this please.
Gotta watch this twice. Once to read the subtitles and again for the visuals. That Huayra has the most detailed an beautiful interiors ever, plus the exterior ain't bad on the eyes either
Amazing story and the cars are a direct result of his passion. Zonda and Huayra are beautiful.
"Wait... You went out and personally bought an autoclave?"
"Told you I was hardcore!"
went to the bank to get the credit on a bicycle.
What an incredible story! I could sit and listen to his story for hours.
I am almost crying of this story, these cars are amazing
that was awesome! One of my favorite videos.. Horacio is truly the leonardo of our generation as far as automotive design/engineering go. Great stuff guys
This guys along with Christian von Koenigsegg have got to be 2 of the most brilliantly minded car based designers.. Passion before PR.
Makes me sad to think they are so unobtainable (price of pioneering)
Excellent. He had a clear idea of what he wanted to achieve. Good for him!! His work, his pieces of art will be greatly remembered in the coming years.
Team Pagani forever. This guy is awesome. I'm inspired by him.
What a story! To come from nothing, now making the most exclusive road car you can buy. Such tenacity and fire I hope to instill in my children. What a marvel of a designer and manufacturer. I'm inspired. Oh, and that Huayra is crazy-sick! Grazi, Horacio!
Many people talk about Da Vinci, but Horacio got it really well !!
Absolutely loved Pagani's as a teenager, still drooling as a grown man. The blending of art and technology in cars is truly expressed in his cars better than anywhere else in my opinion
great video, i love listening to artists and their vision of their own car instead of a journalist saying that it doesn't sound good and blabla
An electric pagani?!? Yes please!
Fantastic! This guy is SUCH a visionary. Anyone who buys this car, drives this car, whatever, is pretty fortunate, when SO much thought has gone into the project. The fact that he has no attitude is amazing. Brilliant cars.
Guys like him give me more confidence in learning how to do stuff like making my own parts and becoming better at body and drivetrain work
Absolutely stunning feature. Pagani is such an inspiration. If I could go back 15 years I would study engineering. Never will there be a more wonderful car engineer/artist.
Wonderful that your channel continues to let the passion of the creators and engineers speak and speak alone.
Somehow that was the most relaxing and inspiring part of my week. Great story and what beautiful cars. Can we get a few decent roads in the US where we can drive a car like this...without going to jail.
He's a great man! Love the cars and he's concepts..Pagani sets the benchmark!
Just amazing, thanks MT!...
When it comes down to cars, Italians are superior. I have been lucky enough to visit the country every summer during my childhood and i'm sure the culture would fascinate much more people if they had the chance to experience Italy. Horacio reflects this, i find the way this man thinks and talks about the industry he operates in truly amazing.
Regardless of who can afford it or not, thank you Mr Pagani for giving us the Zonda. It will never age and at its simplest purpose, gives people a smile and inspiration to know, see and think of it.
When there is a will, there is a way. Anyone who wants to be successful in business, listen to this man's story and understand that his strategic vision dealt with his ideal that art and science are the absolute essence of his creations, formerly exemplified by the great Leonardo Da Vinci. Truly inspiring as a business student.
Only mercedes saw potential in him and his vision....
Way to go mercedes and pagani...!..
Come on!....
how could u not know what will happen in the future when u made a car for the future, man!!
Wow great job MT FOR BRINGING THIS TO US! really really inspiring story Now let's see what can i do maybe,maybe i'll make my own supercar??? just tell me GEARHEADS: WEREN'T YOU THINKING ABOUT MAKING/CREATING A CAR THE WHOLE TIME YOU WERE WATCHING THE VIDEO?
Beautiful story. He was pretty honest in the closing line too ;)
Thanks for telling this story, it gives a great insight into his vision and inspiration.
Un visionario, un soñador, un humilde, pero sobre todo, muy sincero. Creo qué todos los qué se dedican a este nicho del mercado piensan cómo él, pero no se animan a decirlo. Su forma de ser es muy parecida a la qué tenía Fangio.
If I had the money my first call would undoubtably be to Mr Pagani. He has exactly what Ferrari and Lamborghini don't seem to be lacking which is a pure passion for what he builds. All Ferrari seems to do these days is sell keychains and T-shirts, and Lamborghini's are rebadged Audi's for the most part (Not that that is a bad thing for reliability purposes but there just doesn't seem to be that sense of passion with Lamborghini anymore). Look at the interior of this thing, it is sublime. Only Koenigsegg in my opinion shows passion in the same stratosphere as Pagani.
I like his last line.
That last line though lol
Awesome video! It does bring the future of Pagani in question as an exotic hypercar manufacturer without a hybrid/electric model in sight.
Astounding
Mr. Pagani you are an automotive hero
One man's vision! That's all it took! I admire this man! Long live Pagani :)
Put a great smile on my face
Gotta love pagani. Is the essence of what a supercar should be, and the craftsmanship is second to none.
This man is a genius
Never thought motor trend would be able to tap into my emotions. I need to gather myself..
Thanks Motor Trend for this great video. Really inspirational.
Best ever video. You guys got real deep with this one. Thanks.
Absolutely amazing video I can watch it over and over.
Beautiful and humbling episode
Huayra has the most beautiful interior in a super car. Passionate people do amazing things....
Man talk about an ambitious self starter! Much respect Mr. Pagani
love this car and his view on cars as art, i completely agree with him. i wish i had the talent this man has.
The guy took out a bank loan and bought an Autoclave for fixing carbon fiber with his own money? Pretty amazing. Some of the most successful businessmen are the ones who have a true passion for their product (i.e. Steve Jobs, Elon Musk) and start their companies not because they want to make money but because they want to bring cool stuff into existence.
Such a cool video, loved hearing how it all started. That is the definition of passion!
How many supercar owners can say you drive a piece of art.. And that you drive it FAST!
"to convince a client to spend a lot of money on a car, that's basically unnecessary"
Hats off to the master Pagani
Great video Motor Trend (except for the typo at 11:08 ;) ) keep it up!
Incredible story. This man has great visions.
Beautiful car. This is a man with a passion to make fine automobiles.
The world needs more people like Horacio, people who will keep on going to make an incredible piece of art and power. The only thing I would change is the price tag.
What an innovator. This guy is so good at what he does.
He's right about the designs not aging.
Wow i am amazed of the level of production value some channels have on RUclips compared to shit like Top Gear USA. Anyone with love and passion for cars would rather watch art like this than the crap they show on TV. Keep up the fantastic job!
Watch Top Gear UK. Much better than the USA version, because UK is the real one.
NikoBell12 Yeah i know, love the original series. Jeremy and the boys deliver excellent television! Just curious what TV executive thinks that the US version is good. These guys deliver amazing content compared to that turd of a television show.
So much passion and courage
This was the most beautiful automotive story ever.
Very inspirational man
This story is incredible and beautiful, no matter how many times its told. Utterly gorgeous vehicles, and I can only imagine just staring at the instrument clusters in the cockpit to admire their exquisite and meticulous design.
--Mozdoc
True love and passion
A great man who'll be remembered in history...!
I love this guy. He should continue his work and expand with a hybrid racing drive-train.
