The exotic car world has now become familiar with the name Pagani, the moniker assigned to the supercars designed by Horacio Pagani who takes great inspiration from Da Vinci as he painstakingly sculpts some of the fastest cars on the planet. As he began making good on his promise of a little sister to his benchmark Zonda of 1999, the design of which has since been put in the vault, his vision of Renaissance-meets-the-modern-world on the asphalt has taken a very provocative turn.
