[Autopost] Pagani. Creating perfection

We all know many stories about people with a cherished dream and huge ambitions. About how a little person does something great and generally dictates his conditions in every way to a cold and cruel world. But what if I tell you that in our, in our, a vashemelide auto world there is his own embodiment of Vincent Freeman? Yes, I will tell you about the fruits of the works of one of them? In truth, no matter what you answer, I will do it anyway. So get comfortable and enjoy a brief excursion into the history of the Pagani brand.

From the moment of setting automobile production on the conveyor, piece assembly exists only as a status rattle for the powers of this world. Whose circulation is smaller, which model has more unique options for the most sophisticated buyers, from which dragmetal a sign with the signature of a person who assembled an engine – manufacturers of supercars compete in all these and many other disciplines to stand out against the background of competitors. And if you expect a phrase from me: “But our today’s hero is not the same!” – in vain. Pagani, like everyone else, sinned and sin with this business, but about everything in order.

Our Italian automaker is truly standing out by a number of technical nuances acquired in the process of his birth and formation. First of all, Pagani, upon closer examination, may seem to be a real cult of carbon fiber. Thanks here it is worth telling the past experience of the founder of the company – Horatio Pagani. Starting his way to the auto industry with the post of seller-consultant in Lamborghini, he later headed the composite materials department there, and then completely founded his company, engaged in developments in this area-Pagani Composite Research. The next step is the creation of Modena Design – a company engaged in the development and creation of various kinds of cars and prototypes using composites. Of course, given the experience of Pagani in this matter, the former employers and Ferrari, and many more, soon collaborated with him.

And already with such luggage https://gamblingdata.net/casinos/billion-casino/ Pagani is decided to create a truly brand of cars. So the company Pagani Automobili appears (a very simple name for Russian hearing, is it not true?). The year in the yard was 1992, if that. Pagani’s goal at that time was to create as much as possible and aerodynamic car as possible. Of course, from composites. And on this moment the most observant should already have a question: “So, well, everything is clear with the bodies, and what was under the hood?”

And there were V12 from Mercedes-Benz, first 6-liter, and later 7.3. The latter, by the way, developed very beautiful 555 liters.With. Power. Where did the Italian get the German engines? Connections, dear friends. And so we approach two more distinctive features of cars of this brand – engines and names. By both points of the car, they are again owed to the past of their creator. Horatio received good for the supply of engines through his friend and patron, racer Juan Manuel Fanchio. The future manufacturer of supercars met with the latter in the course of work on the Formula-3 boat when he lived in Argentina. It is not surprising that two Italian emigrant found a common language. The first model Horatio just wanted to name in honor of his old friend – Fangio, but the racer did not live to be released, and the name of respect for the great memory was replaced by Zonda. Mentioned above about Argentina? So, this is the name of the Argentine wind. Actually, it was decided to call all Pagani models from this moment, one way or another attaching to the topic of the winds.

So the Zonda C12 appeared, whose engine was talking above. I would also like to add that the mass of the car body was only 1250 kg, which with such capacities allowed the car to accelerate to “hundreds” in less than 4 seconds. And now we will accelerate a little to reach this day, not spreading in the thought in the text.

In 2005, the production of Zonda F (“f” means Fanchio). The processed body design, more power, higher speed, is available in the Roader version. 2009-Zonda Cinque and Zonda R. In the case of the first – extremely small circulation, five pieces of coupe and relatives (Cinque – “five” from Italian). But the body material is even more important, the new development of Pagani is carbotanium (derivative of Carbon + “Titanium”), whose name speaks for itself for itself. In essence, as has already been opened by Pagani, faster, easier, stronger. Zonda r is the same – purely track car, peak point of model development. They do not allow public roads, but they do not allow to participate as a prototype in races. In a word, an ideal car to declare: “I am rich, and I want all this to see this!”Or not quite perfect.

No. Firstly, because there were still a darkness of unique modifications of various “probes” made to order or to some kind of event (gold throughout the corps on top of the carbotanium? why not?). Secondly, in 2011, Pagani Huayra (“Wair” she, damn it, was born! There is no subtext there on Freud!) named after the god of the winds of the South American tribe of Aimar. A fundamentally new model, and to this day is the flagship of the company, truly blew up the brain to many (including the author of this text). And there was something. AMG tensed and created a unique 6-liter V12 with double turbocharging to replace the previous atmospheres, and still put it exclusively on the Wair. The engine is capable of 730 liters.With. and 1100 nm of the moment, which with a car mass of 1350 kg allows you to jump out the first “hundred” in three with a penny of a second.

Of course, this is a carbon sculpture on wheels. Monocock from carbotanium, subframes and body panels made of carbon fiber – that’s the whole diet. But an active aerodynamic system deserves special mention. As you can see from a photo, the car does not have pronounced anti -wing. However, upon closer examination, two flaps become visible (plus two more in the tail, in the photo they are hidden behind the air intake). It is they who, under the control of a computer and electric drives, depending on the surrounding conditions, rise and are omitted in such a way as to create an optimal clamping force at each individual point in time.

Wayra riveted from 2012 to 2017 in an amount of 20 pieces per year and at a price of 1 million euros for each. Of course, there were “charged” versions, the performance in the body of the Roadster and other variations on the topic. But the fact remains – the model is released, sold and flaunts in the “present” section on the official website of the company. And right nearby is the complete hints and inspiring quotes “Future”.

But it remains the other time. And today it is the whole story of a small, but very proud and brave automaker who has incorporated traditions, innovations and culture from a different ends of the world. Do not forget about your roots and confidently look at that very future, dear friends!

I take a break.
As always, I was glad to try for you and
Thank you for your attention!
