Automotive

Watch aficionados frequently wax poetic about the finish of their movements - the anglage of plates and cocks; the perlage; the perfectly executed interior angles that come to a fine point; the perfect proportions or matched geneva stripes even across sep...  

Looks like Pagani to me (edited to move subject line to message body, to avoid spoiler for others in case anyone else wants to try a guess)

Pagani Huayra! [nt] (edited to move subject to post body, to avoid spoiler in subject line)

That was my first thought as well. The break pedal (?) looks just like a Pagani key. Can't wait for the rest!!

more to come... ...  

Huayra. Vte :)

I am thinking Pagani Huayra. It's not a Fiat 126p, I am sure.

Thank you, ThomasM. I do wonder if turning their passion to such an expressive tool as a playback system has produced such radical experiences as their cars can! Signs point to no, but I would certainly fancy a listen. I was so hopeful to see if their hig... 

Hi Thomas, You already drive the engine.... You want something more artistic, more personal, more latin... I fully understand you. I love the Huayra, it seems so far above everything else today, for its kind of understated superdesign. Best Dje

Hi, dje, Pagani yes, Huayra, no (though I'm not surprised if there are some overlaps) Zonda R! ...  

Can't you just see the happiness written all over my face :) ...  

:-) And he forgives you for bailing out on him early... :-)

And I think l was smiling in it just as widely. Nice pic! From Quail 2012? From that angle, with the doors and bonnet open the car looks like a dragon stretching its wings.

Hi TM, thanks for the shots...must be so nice to get up close and personal with such masterpiece...AMG v12, bespoke. Wonder how Veyron compares in terms of fine finishing? No where close ? Or different? A late Happy Chinese New Year to you. Cheers. Regard... 

Hi, Jacky, Though I haven't spent nearly as much time up close and personal with the Veyron (I only got some rushed seat time behind the wheel when I was, ahem, more concerned with other priorities...and about 15 minutes static) my initial impressions are... 

At the end of the day, its meant for people who appreciate the very fine things in life...otherwise it's just another car similarly have 4 wheels..lol.... Love the extra touch Pagani does to his cars...interior of Zonda is equally amazing. Have u ever see... 

Hi Thomas, great shots! National Geographic did a series for mega car factories including pagani, would tempt u even more:) cheers, Ed

i loved that series Ed. seeing the ferrari factory and how they built the engine on the 599 made me realise that modern ferraris should be. theres also a series called 'how its made' and the way the machines do things is brilliant, but the person that inv... 

i ll try to watch that series:) cheers, Ed

the car is a work of art and so are these pieces so put 1 and 1 together and you come up with 2. G.

LOL! ...  

I was seriously wondering if Richard Mille or some watch company was making a car. But after seeing the picture of the four tailpipes, that triggered a memory response. The last photo (is that a seat control or a lever to open a panel?) even though I do n... 

I staggered around Goodwood for the rest of the day, not believing what I had seen. The excessive detailing was incredible. The curves were like nothing I'd ever seen. Not to mention the carbon fiber The only comparable manufacturer (in taking detail to e...  

Another marque that comes to mind is Spyker (not quite Pagani) , although to some it has a look that only a mother could love ;) Apologies for going off tangent, but the Dutch maker comes to mind when I saw the title. Wonder pictures !
