The 3rd Pagani Gathering in Italy
June 16, 2007 by Alborz Fallah
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to spend a few days driving, shopping and enjoying life in Italy amongst privileged supercar owners? What most of us dream of, a few lucky individuals manage in their lifetime.
Our friend, Adam Kaplan from Supercar Investments who is sponsoring the Ride in a Pagani zonda competition recently returned from the 3rd Pagani Gathering in Italy. We’ll let him do the talking:
I just returned from the fabulous 3rd Pagani Gathering in Italy. What a fantastic trip, 13 Zondas, a Ferrari 599 and a Mercedes SLR. We started in Milan at the fabulous Hotel Villa San Carlo Borromeo in Senago where we renewed acquaintances from last year and met some new faces too.
Pagani has just delivered Chassis #79 which is the red Zonda F Coupe. That’s 8 years producing cars and only 80 cars produced, pretty exclusive stuff. The current wait for a build slot is approaching 2 years and is growing as the brand increases its global awareness. So if any of you have been “holding off,” now might be a good time to take the dive and reserve your slot.
It was interesting to note that the owner of the SLR is most unhappy about the fact that he can’t get a new Zonda for 2 years. I was lucky enough to be a passenger in his car for the run from Bellagio to Lecco, following a Police escort down the twisty narrow roads and through a couple of acoustically perfect tunnels as well.
Whilst the SLR is, to me, one of the prettiest cars I’ve ever seen, it doesn’t rate compared to the Zonda in terms of ride and handling and certainly can’t compete with the F1 like wail that you get from the Zonda’s exhaust…but it’s certainly got some squirt!
