The same place also handles Bugatti, Fisker, Rolls, Bentley, Maserati, and Aston. They JUST started with Ferrari and I've seen a few 16Ms and today I saw my first 458. The craziest car I've seen is the Bugatti Supersport:

Amazing. You only have yet to see the Huayra. As for P1, it is a matter of time, once it gets delivered.

Curious about the rotor heat dissipation... They're not even slotted. Wonder if these rotors were put on just for show, or if they're so advanced that I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Looks like they copied a lot of elements of the better looking 918 Spyder. I like it nonetheless.

I'm sure I'll spot a P1 when they come. Like the Zonda before it, I doubt the Huayra will be legal on this side of the pond.

You know plenty of cars with iron brakes don't have slotting or holes, right? Neither do F1 cars.

This is just a concept. The car doesn't even have an actual engine in it at the moment.

I drive a very loud black B8 S4. Do you work there?

Yeah, I realize that, but I don't think that this car has quite the brake cooling capabilities of an F1 car lol.

There was a recent Pagani special on the Drive channel stating that the Huayra will be US legal.

The car looks AMAZING, but putting (basically) the same engine as the 12C is disappointing to say the least. A car costing $1.2 million should have an engine that is as special as the rest of the car, if not more.

The McLaren F1 motor was essentially a variant of the V12 engine from the BMW 850CSi. In truth, it's not the motor that makes the car, it's how it's applied. The Celica GT-S is far from a track star but that same motor in the Lotus Exige was capable of remarkable things.
