Pagani: Lamborghini’s Biggest Mistake

#pagani #zonda #supercars
The creation of a man who crossed great oceans,
Worked his way up from humble beginnings,
And stood up to the world’s supercar titans.
What he created would be an amalgamation of aesthetics and raw brutality,
Singing with horsepower and dancing with flowing curves,
The Pagani Zonda was a modern masterpiece.
A supercar that stood on its own,
As lamborghini’s became stale, and old,
And ferrari’s became clinical and boring,
Pagani’s Zonda spilled its colorful paint across the streets of Italy,
And breathed life back into Modena.
This is the story of a breakthrough performance from a true virtuoso.
A tale spun of carbon fiber and 91 octane,
This is the story of Horacio Pagani’s opening act.

Lots of companies have fought tooth and nail to enter the hyper car realm, but only a few have succeeded of late. Bugatti did it with raw power, German engineering, and immense funding, Koenigsegg with unparalleled engineering and a huge dose of Scandinavian madness, and Pagani with pure Italian artistry and passion. It feels like a new company tries to enter the field every week, and dies just as quickly. It takes something special to make a hyper car company from scratch.

[@desertsandfly2277]

Fun fact: Pagani had built a second test unit of the Pagani Zonda which is said to have been constantly reused. Having over 5 engine swaps, 7 gearbox swaps and many body modifications made over the years. And now currently, the test unit is sitting in display at the Pagani museum with supposedly 1,000,000km clocked on the odometer. The car is now dubbed as the Pagani Zonda Le Nonna.

[@crazeguy26]

I want to see some of the things that car been seen.

[@kimf.wendel9113]

This is true, I saw the car at the old plant back in 2014 and it had well over 1 million km to it. Every time a new engine would appear in a Zonda, everything was tested in that model, same with gearboxes, gauges, clutches and bodywork. At the time it was blue and was driven around the landscape for hours and hours to reach more than 10,000 km testing every little detail. Another fun fact from that day I was there, they were putting the last touches on Lewis Hamiltons new purple car, and it was the only one completely assembled at that time.

[@xylven5918]

If I’m wrong, I did it with the head, not the heart.” Great video, earned a sub from me

[@the.squidd]

He is a real passionate creator for sure, someone to look up to. and awesome thank you so much for the sub!

[@godsangryhands4499]

This video, like its content and subject, is AMAZING! I WANT A LONGER VERSION WITH MORE INFO, if at all possible. Perhaps an Hour and a Half or even 2 hours PLEASE! Your work here was one of the Best and o n e of my Most FAVORITE Biographies of the las year! Thank You!

haha noted, I will likely one day do longer material!

[@nyzex_7574]

This is one of the best youtube Videos i have ever seen and surely better than anything I have ever witnessed on tv

[@federicoinon3075]

I'm from Argentina so I've followed Pagani designs for a very long time but this video is the best i have ever seen. It almost made me cry. Thank you so much for this video!

[@Meindl-zm8jq]

An impossible task, impossible achievement, executed by an impossible artist. Yet, here they are. The pure soul of what automotive greatness truly is supposed to be. Congratulations Horacio.

[@Jabarri74]

Not many people study engineering and art, but then again not many people get to deisgn supercars. The guys a genius

[@Kuya.Diether]

im so thankful for youtube and youtubers like you. this documentary is top tier! watching this for free is almost like stealing from you.

[@the.squidd]

History lessons should always be free. I am so thankful for KZbin too, giving me a place to share stories for free to people around the world. So happy you're here too friend.

[@WingZero761]

Art. Any time I've ever personally laid eyes on a Pagani in person, all I ever see is artwork on four wheels, and a V-12 beast powering it along. A soulful sound emanating from the exhaust, I recall one time driving around South Beach here in Miami where I reside, with the windows up and music playing, I heard a Huayra coming the other way. And it was blocks away. Mind you, I was driving past a golf course so that sound didn't echo off anything. Then I finally saw her. All carbon fiber, the owner driving her nicely. Being half Argentinean, it also gives me pride that Horacio is leading the way in so many respects. Pagani is only one of two hyper car makers that I genuinely am always excited to see what's next, the other being Koenigsegg which I hope you'll eventually make a video on.

[@imablobfish2839]

I haven't even watched the video yet, and I already know it is going to be top tier quality. It is just crazy how you are freely handing over extremely well crafted documentaries like this for everyone to watch. Keep up the videos, I would never imagine making one this great.

[@the.squidd]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@apaliousaf]

What a wonderful tribute to Pagani. The way you so eloquently take us on this journey is truly captivating. The visuals, the music, the words you choose to speak - they are all so powerful and invoke so many emotions. Spectacular content, as always. You and your team deserve all the praise and success. Looking forward to the next one!

[@the.squidd]

Thank you very much!

[@pablo172crew]

another piece of art!

[@sanketsuthar4577]

this documentry is a masterpiece. And the part where you described why it was named zonda, I got goosebumps. Great work man keep it up. 🍻

One of the primary characteristics of high intellect is the ability to find links/connections between such items and events that others would not, and you have clearly demonstrated it. Well done (again) sir, another A in my class

[@the.squidd]

I'm keeping a report card at this point

[@bluh18ify]

As an Argentinian who loves everything automotive Horacio has been the one person who I’ve looked up to growing up. An absolute inspiration.

[@explosivehotdogs]

A Zonda F pulled into the station while I was getting petrol on the way from Milan to Nice. I had no idea they were so rare... I snapped a couple quick photos. On the side it said Caraguti Automobiles. Pagani's work looks even better in person.

[@bat1sta980]

Would have loved to see the Zonda Revolucion HP Barchetta in more detail, especially since he made it after one of his wooden scale models that he created when he was 13 years old or so. In my opinion it’s his best work yet, the paint scheme and design language is simply astonishingly beautiful. Thank you for the beautiful and informative video on one of the most important pioneers in this era. A true visionary and craftsman like very few others.

[@TheNerd]

Just like Horacio's cars, your videos are not a mere documentary, they are a work of art.

[@the.squidd]

[@ShadoCroc]

As always, you do not miss a mark. Not in editing, narration, script, and over-all presentation. I find myself looking forward to every video, and re-watching the old ones. Looking forward to what you'll make next :)

Wow, thank you! The words and support are always heart felt and appreciated.

[@chrisbrowning360]

Jesus christ, your videos just keep getting better. You (and whomever your production team are, if you have them) are incredibly talented, some of the best in the world IMO. Your documentaries literally rival the best in the world. The research, writing, narration, producing, all incredible, and every video better than the last. Please, don't ever quit what you're doing, for the sake of all humanity, and the love we all have for these incredible machines many of us will never get to experience.

Horacio's Story of Zero to Hero progress is one of the most unique stories on car history! Greetings from Argentina!

[@the.squidd]

[@mayukhbari]

Car lovers will always praise Horacio Pagani. A remarkable soul as a man and as a designer and inventor. His creations are truly timeless masterpiece. I wouldn't mind if each and every Paganis are out of the road and kept just as a showpiece, for everyone to enjoy the beauty. Horacio can take one out for a spin, but not any rich guy.

[@Eloas97]

First drove the Zonda in NFS Hot Pursuit and Im still in love with this carbrand. I think its the best car in the world. Its beauty cant be beaten.

[@kallenrirana]

One of the best historical motorsports story teller is back! From Ferrari, Lamborghini now Pagani. Loved this! Especially the McLaren F1 and GTR video

[@the.squidd]

[@basmca1]

And Ferrari in term came from Alfa, but not as many people know that. The first car ever to carry the Ferrari prancing horse was an Alfa Romeo.

[@rsookchand919]

I remember when I first saw a Pagani my mind was blown away with its beauty. Always look forward to your videos dude!!!

[@1barnet1]

First saw an zonda in Monaco during an GP weekend. Back then the 550 maranello was the typical Golf for Monaco. But damn did it look incredible. An few weeks later the magazines started to show it off.

[@MagicNateball]

Your editing is superb! Not only am I much better informed on Pagani as a brand and the man behind them, but I felt emotional attachment to the story as well. Bravo.

[@SevenDeMagnus]

Yup, the visionaries always separate and do it themselves, like Horacio Pagain. God bless Horacio.

[@sathi8906]

It's always nice to see people who share such passion and understanding for what a true supercar really is... Your videos just keep reminding me that there will always be people to listen to the music of roaring engines

[@the.squidd]

Roaring engines and beating human hearts drive passion. Even in an all electric world, we will have driven people, and we will then have moving works of art.

[@Walou_]

You've done with this video what Horacio did with the C12. A work of art, with such beauty for which words do not exist. Truly I am in awe at the fact that you keep making better videos each and every time. The Tingles I felt for the entire last 5 minutes..... I thank you from the deepest parts of my soul. That was something else.

I once saw one at Duxford museum in the UK. It was a big flying day but instead of having to park up with all the plebs in the main car park, the staff decieded to plonk it next to a fighter jet in the static display area :)

This video was a masterpiece. Same as before, the way you use words, the top tier visuals. And one thing you always do, is make me give so much more respect to the creators of the car brands. I always wondered why Pagani kept making different versions of the same car, but after this video, Pagani gets my most respect ever. True art. Thank you for doing these. We wait patiently every 2 months and you always deliver.

Totally agree... Couldn't have said it better!

[@funnyman4311]

When I was a kid, the instant I laid eyes on the Zonda, it instantly became my favourite car of all time, and as its legacy progressed it just became better and better looking. Pagani is highly likely one of the key driving forces that made me love cars like I do now. Just as a small aside, Squidd, the instant I saw the community post, I knew you'd do Horacio's story justice, and boy did you. I was captivated the entire time, with the excellent writing, editing, and flow, truly a beauty that would make Horacio proud. Marvellous work, Squidd's team. I look forward to the next jaw dropping video from you.

Horacio Pagani is a legend, he made one of the greatest cars in the world, he gave up working for Lamborghini and made something even better, and he made the perfect super car.

[@Fatmouse25]

The pacing, the commentary, the music. It's like lost art from 2000s and before. This is how you make a video, a documentary filled with hype and enthusiasm putting the cars and people behind it on a pedestal to better appreciate it. This video alone convinced me why paganis are special the analogy to art pieces makes so much sense.

[@joebloggs6131]
