What is your favourite supercar?

no idea, but i love me some 720p60 and 1080p60. sick intro

I love the way that Pagani seems to go about their press launches. Basically just, "Here's the keys, mountain pass is that way." The car speaks for itself, no silly gimmicks needed.

They supervise the journalists with drones …if they’re over exaggerating , they’re OUT forever.

So just like every Euro supercar then, basically.

[@ScramTek]

Truth. The tangible difference between a specialist and a corporation. I've no doubt that every single Pagani employee (even the janitors) feels a personal connection to the company and the cars they produce. The primary focus for corporations like Ferrari or Lamborghini, is the parent company's (Fiat and VAG) shareholders, not the customers who buy their cars or the people who build them.

[@captain_context9991]

@@ScramTek Because supercars and... Quality cars in general, are not made on minimum wage by unskilled, uneducated workforce on minimum wages without healthcare, unions, and guaranteed pensions. This is why corporate America never made a good car. Or any superior product.

@@KillersFromTheWest It doesn't really matter if it goes 0-60 in 3.1 vs 2.8 (as an example). Without a back-to-back comparison, you cannot really tell the difference. Also, unless drag racing, that little bit adds nothing to the overall driving experience 99.9% of the time. If one cares about that last little bit of straight-line speed, get a Telsa Plaid or similar EV. Give me the manual. The push in the back feels the same, the .3 seconds in only lost during the joyful act of shifting and I can live with that.

The muted color choices, dirt on the front intake, the scuffs on the pedals, primarily analog gauges and interfaces, pure engine power, the lack of electronic aides that let you get sketchy with it if you aren't careful, and the fact that not only did they make a manual in the year of our Lord 2024, but they went so far as to make it a dogbox to maximize those 23 shifts. Every single piece of it from concept to reality just tells with the utmost professional authority that it is a driver's car to the absolute fullest. What a beautiful love-letter to automotive engineering, and proper driving.

The interior looks so cheap like 90’s arcade games and very diguisting. And i am a pagani fan. Also this million dollar car doesn’t have good grip and imagine having a twin turbo v12 that doesn’t even make 900hp. That is really lazy performance by pagani engineers. These guys just spend 4-5 years on the design and nothing was done about the performance of the car. Other manufacturers have cars that produce 800hp with NA v12

[@fenrirslip]

I don't know if dihedral doors would suit this car, let alone any Pagani. Scissor doors are the best way to go. And while the gullwing doors on the Huayra were amazing, I remember a video over on the Stradman's channel where a Huayra was delivered to his house and the battery was dead, so taking the Huayra out of the trailer took them 10+ hours and it was rather annoying to say the least. xD

[@dddd-uk4vn]

lazante is doing road legalisations on pagani's R models , probably closest you'll get

[@srinitaaigaura]

@@dddd-uk4vn When GMA can homologate an NA V12, why not Pagani tame their HWA V12 for the road. It's also easier to make a manual gearbox for an NA engine as it makes less torque. In other words, a Zonda successor, but as one can see, the winning formula hasn't changed. Maybe Cosworth could also evolve their Valkyrie V12 into a fully road friendly engine for the next generation for Pagani (though I love the Huayra R engine, it's better than Ferrari's V12). HWA, will you do it?

@@AI-qd4vb While I do agree that computers provide a lot of useful data, and it can be clearly presented too, my point really was that we are constantly glued to screens in our lives - do we really need more screens in a car? Gauges and dials do the job sufficiently well, providing key information at a glance. If the car is engaging to drive, the driver doesn't need to be occupied by displays, menus, settings, modes, etc. I personally prefer the aesthetics and function of dedicated instrumentation.

While it is, of course, impossible not to have the upmost respect for Mr. Pagani and the craftsmanship, I just can't get past this design. The first thing that came to mind was that the Utopia looks similar to the Japanese monstrosity, the Misuoka Orochi. By themselves there are, without question, some beautiful pieces (the rear lights, for example) but as a package...Those wheels are an eyesore. While it's a trick of the eye, the tiny center makes the wheels look cartoonishly small. I highly doubt any owner will even race theirs to the point where they will need race level technology. Of course, eye of the beholder and all of that but, in my humble opinion, Mr. Pagani tried too hard to be different on this one. It, undoubtedly drives like a masterpiece (although, it has always been hard to get over Paganis having AMG power plants, when Mr. Konigsegg builds his own engines from scratch). I am sure that if I see one in the flesh (which is possible in Miami), I will appreciate what it is but it will still be difficult to get past its design.

[@burnferris]

I don't know what it is about Pagani, but this is an absolute masterpiece. And, AND, it has a manual option??!?! I don't care about Ferrari, Lamborghini, Koenigsegg, etc. For some reason Pagani (Zonda, Zonda R, Huayra) has had me completely captivated and this is only reason I wish I had absurd amounts of money.

MARMALADE.. Paddington Bear doesn't do Marmite, Silly.... 😁

[@CARmagazineTV]

Rest assured, James is genuinely gutted he got this one wrong. 😂🤦‍♂️

[@chrisgilkes1687]

In his defence I’m not sure that we have ever heard Paddingtons thoughts on Marmite. When he wants something savoury maybe it’s what he goes for 😂 Also I’m sure I would say the odd wrong word driving a £2.2 million car on those roads, so I’m prepared to let it slide 😂 Great video 👌🏼

[@hemishjoseph7401]

Not classically beautiful but gorgeous in a way that touches the soul . A really special car hurts to remember I will never see one in person, but someone will and get to enjoy looking at something made with so much passion and love . In an age of AI and EVs, something truly special.

[@swimthrumyaquarium]

What a lot of people dont realize is that this car is undermined by such an excellent video. Its more than anything that can be said in this format. Its a modern day Davinci piece of design and engineering, and it will influence modern high end car design in around another ten years ir more when ither designers catch on. It is an exceptional machine, past any others that can only be measured higher in figures and numbers.

[@ericuyttebroeck]

If they are going for ultimate simplicity and purity, why would you turbocharge that V12?

[@freddiejones4598]

Because it wouldn’t produce enough power otherwise?

[@jochemjurgens7997]

It should be naturally aspirated, in my opinion.

[@ericuyttebroeck]

@@freddiejones4598 Porsche's 4 liter engine produces 500hp from a NA engine with half the cylinders, surely someone could make a NA V12 with more than ample power for a car weighing 1280 kg. Especially considering the asking price of this car. I suppose that's where Gordon Murray comes in ;)

[@freddiejones4598]

@@ericuyttebroeck correct and yes cosworth can make engines that produce a lot of power from N/A engines. But they are hugely expensive and require very regular servicing. Again I doubt that’s much of an issue for a Pagani owner. I suspect Pagani were chasing power figures and particularly torque figures. Plus they have this pre existing relationship with amg

[@ALMX5DP]

I think you have to look at those terms in the context of what this vehicle is and aims to provide its owner/driver. This is still a hypercar type vehicle for the ultra wealthy who buy “simplistic” mechanical watches or the “purity” of Italian cobbler made shoes.

[@oklmrems4958]

Their worst design by far, i don't wha horacio was smoking when he made that.

[@netblu]

I hear you, but I disagree. It is simply beautiful. Still prefer the Zonda but I love his design.

[@lamineaim5562]

This is to me by far the most exquisite Pagani I've ever seen in my life just incredible both on the look and the attention to details and of course the engine !!!

[@danielayodele7350]

I would love Rory Reid to review this heavenly Utopia because he would nail it to perfection. It is unthinkable that a manual gearbox, V12 supercar can still emerge from an Italian manufacturer, but Pagani Zonda has proven they are not like Ferrari and Lamborghini, including Maserati in making this combustion-engined masterpiece. Wow! The soundtrack deserves an Oscar alone!

[@Dealiosis]

I think the fact that Pagani chose to keep things more analog will help it decades from now. It will live on as a legendary classic and won't be burdened by outdated technology.

[@vanwezep]

Fantastic video!

[@victorsantos2030]

This is probably the most beautiful car i ever seen!! The harmony between the retro but futuristic, and the details its stunningly beautiful too I wasn't a biiig fan of Pagani to be honest (i just didn't had the interest) but seeing this... This car have my heart now

[@GroppeljohannKlotenkempe-vr6oh]

Wow! Pagani Utopia is the car of my dreams! What an utterly beautiful and competent machine that is❤

[@skip741x3]

The Sound and the shifts! a v12 turbo manual is just nuts in todays world , total fantasy car in the best way possible! The workmanship on pagani's is off the charts.

[@SecwetGwiwer]

Bicycles have been made from ‘Cromoly’ steel for almost 100 years. It’s made to sound exotic in the video but is actually just entry level steel for a bicycle.

[@kristoffertafjord5319]

For me it's the zonda c12s my favorite. It's crazy to think that zonda are now 25 years old but still looking so good today as well

[@GAWTYONEK]

Great journalism, wonderful car, excellent video bravo

[@CARmagazineTV]

Thank you!

[@frozenfire72]

A car that's never gonna look old. It's a piece of art. Wish I can afford it one day.

[@AubreyLutiq-wr6nv]

Awesome review, brilliant 👌

[@CARmagazineTV]

Thanks!

[@mikasihite5346]

People who critisize the looks don't have taste or a good eye in design. This thing is absolutely beautiful.

[@matthewmcnitt8405]

Pagani's design and coach building is unparalleled. No question. They are the most beautiful supercars made in the world. They don't develop engine tech like Koenigsig, Ferrari or the like, so references to ultimate exotic have to be taken in context, but for pure driver visual and interactive experience, Pagani has no rival.
