I don't like Attenborough one bit. He's an annoying mumbler, and succeeds in making even the most exciting things mundane. I don't usually like dubbing, but I even prefer the dubbed versions of the shows originally narrated by him (English is my third language). Harry here, on the other hand, is KZbin automotive royalty.

Can I just say that this Lotus series has been one of your best!! Not just the build and ordering and factory tour but especially the recent 3 part delivery and road trip portions. This is the perfect example of the hard work you and everyone put into your channel. Thanks for taking us along for the rides. Thanks for the excellent editing. Thanks for taking the time to get the exterior motoring shots for us. I'm sure they are a somewhat annoying delay to the trips But worth it for the beauty and context they provide.

Agree, the Lotus series has been amazing - the Pagani - just doesn't do anything for me - these multi-million dollar hypercars for some reason just hit my "consumerism in extreme" nerve - nobody needs a 3 million dollar supercar - the Lotus though, that's attainable and not obscene.

Only Harry gets to toddle around all by himself at the Pagani factory. I am sure horacioa asked hm to put the key under the matt. EXTREMELY good content, Harry! Thank you to Mrs Metcalfe for another string of patient photography! Thank you! Interesting to see the difference between the AMG Mercedes and HWA R engine!

[@RZRBLAZ]

Its an honor to even witness this on such an intimate level. I almost feel like I’m there as I have my own little set of memories passed down from my first Internship mentor in Industrial Design. He was a designer at Pagani, and he taught me Autodesk Alias (A 3D Modeling Program used in the car industry and at Pagani) and my first project to replicate in 3D was a Pagani Zonda, which he worked on with the design team. He offered giving me a titanium bolt from one of the cars, but I gracefully declined because I saw how much it meant to him. He loved his time at Pagani and he goes from time to time to relive his former design days there. One of the things he designed was the very side mirrors you spoke about on this video. Thank you Harry!

[@Senniemiec]

That 2005 video is what sparked my love for Pagani. Wish I still had it saved on my computer! What a great long form video.

[@garethgrundy8087]

How lovely to hear you relay the story of how Horacio and his wife to be went to Italy from Argentina to work for Lamborghini. I imagine he views you as a kindred spirit car/engineering enthusiast and allowing you the freedom to roam and film without restriction.

Amazing video and astonishing access you had there! I did a Pagani “factory” tour back in 2017, but of course it’s nothing like this. In fact, the place was so empty - there was not a single car in sight and no car parts laying around either, except for a side mirror that was passed along among tour participants. But the preceding guided museum tour was good. The most memorable part was the price of bottled water in the vending machine, the cheapest during the entire visit of Italy that summer 😅

Visiting Pagani is always a treat. I had the pleasure of meeting Horacio as well. The tourguide said he is there literally as much as he can.

The thing I love about Pagani is that as much as they're at the pinnacle or hypercar prestige and are very expensive, they don't care.
